Do you think Bardsley will be playing? Surprised how many injuries you's have had. - would have been top 8 without them

I'd be surprised if he wasn't and to be totally fair to the lad, he's been superb since coming into the side. I don't really rate him but he's hardly put a foot wrong, despite us conceding a lot of goals. The scorelines have been very unfair on him.

I don't think he's as bad as many on here make out. I think this game has 0-0 all over it tbh. we won't break you down
 
You've got to weigh up a few factors.

1) We've got a load of injuries and half fit players.
2) We've got the Euro's just around the corner and players like Arnautovic and Shaqiri have watched Butland, Wilson and Walters get injured and put their tournaments in doubt. They have switched off.
3) We haven't had a settled back four all season and now we have a rookie keeper in.
4) Our key players from last season (Shawcross and Bojan) are not fit which is affecting us at both ends.
5) The rest of what is left have knocked off for the summer.

The first goal is key in this more than any other game. If you get it you'll get another few and turn us over quite easily. If we get it, we might just switch on and remember there are still a few games of the season left.
Haway, let us beat you, you know it's hilarious when the Mags go down.
 
Mags will get nine points I'm afraid, Villa are dire and Palace have the FA Cup to concentrate on (although Pardew owes them one!). Spurs will be on the beach having clinched Champions League and settled for second in the PL.

However we have a game in hand and a better goal difference but we do need nine points from 12 which is a big ask. Haway the Lads
Palace need a win to secure safety mathematically that is like so by your reckoning they aren't because of the cup final they aren't bothered so won't win another game so it's palace going down then
 
If the Mags win and we don't, it's not the end of the world, as we'll still have a game in hand, which, should we win it, drops them back in the cacky - in summary, we still have hope.
If we win and the Mags don't, they're going to have to beat Spurs to just have a chance of staying up - in summary, they're buggered.

If both us and the Mags win, then they are in a worse position than they are now - which will really piss them off :)

They gain no advantage on us at all, but will only have 2 games to our 3 to make up the difference.

He might just score an o-g or give a penalty away ;):lol:
 
If we beat Stoke, then the Mags are in real trouble, irrespective of what they do against Palace. If we win and they don't, they're going to have to beat Spurs to have a chance of staying up.

I think theres more chance of them beating spurs,if they are not already relegated by then. Its going to be decided on the last day, and i will be a wreck if that happens.
 
This is what I would like.
We will beat Stoke 2-1. The mags will draw with Palace.
We will draw 2-2 with Chelsea. The mags will cock up their gimme at Villa and draw 2-2.
And we will be pretty much safe with two games to go.
Norwich might get a point somewhere along the line.
May will be warm and sunny.
:)
 
Quite right-if we can stay strong defensively we should get the points. My concern is that due to the order the games fall, we may be under pressure in the last week to win one or both of the last two games. Let's see.If palace turn out Bolasie and Zaha on saturday Newcastle will have a job on their hands.
allegedly the fix is in for cp game! 2:0 to united!

I'd simply prefer us to win the next four 37-0 ;)
 
Me too....as I said earlier worry about our own games.

2 wins and 2 draws, will give us 39 points which is very possible on current form.
Let's get 1 win against Stoke which will put a huge squeeze on Newcastle regardless if they win both....

We've got 4 games to play... 2 wins and 2 draws gets eight points.

P.S. Newcastle will not win their last three games. I think they'll end up with 4 points from them (which is still better than their average points per game for the season).
Or 3 wins 1 lose
 
Butland, Given, Affelay, Johnson, Walters, Shaqiri and Wilson all currently injured with the latter 3 due back this weekend, according to physioroom.com. Two knee injuries and a hamstring strain though so they may not be risked.
Any more news on Stoke injuries?
