Relegation

[davek]

I've thought that if we don't win tomorrow, I can see Burnley beating Newcastle given what's at stake in that game.

... But then Newcastle's performance vs Arsenal, maybe their players are desperate to be part of what's going to happen there/playing for their futures...

Newcastle are the last team you'd want pitching up in your last game and needing to beat right at the moment. Guimaraes is bang in form and they break impressively.

That said, they've done much better at St James Park than away and dont tend to draw.

They can beat Newcastle last home game mate.

Well to do that they need to come out and attack and Newcastle have the very players to exploit that in Wilson and ASM.

Spurs struggled to beat Burnley the other day. Needed a penalty to go ahead.

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

They were regarded as second rate compared to Everton.

That's because the FA Cup was the bigger deal back then, and we'd won it 3 times and they hadn't won it.

We also had the better stadium and more cash.

Everton have been the dominant club in the city far longer than Liverpool have.

I agree, but the idea that they'd won nothing until the 60's isn't true. . We may have been bigger for longer- true- but their periods of dominance has been over everyone- not just the city- and we've never really had a period of dominance overall (like they did- Utd did- City, Arsenal back in the 30s etc) and our trophy return isn't 'great' considering that we've had a head start on most teams by being one of the 'originals'.

Yes Burnley worked hard but they're a very limited side.

Is this true, great if so.

Edit, not really. If we ship goals at either Palace or Arse then our GD will disapear

GD is irrelevant, it’s better than Leeds and worse than Burnley. Burnley would have to lose 4-0 at Villa for the possibility of it being in play.

They went full damage-limitation mode at Spurs which you can see from the stats, and I suspect that they'll do similar at Villa. At home to Newcastle on the final day they'll be expected to at least try and score one or two as I reckon internally they'll be hedging their bets on that game to stay up.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Wow, great comeback, well done. 15 major trophies ever??? Yeah, amazing. Chelsea has won more than that in the past 20-odd years. But yeah "we had loads of money in the 60s and they called us the Millionaires" (as if this is something to brag about).

anyway. relegation has friend requested me on instagram, ive not accepted yet

my head and heart are conflicting me with this is pain of relegation.

But it is pointless feeling pain of relegation if it does not happen. It is a waste of energy.
Worry about it, we all do, but going round telling everyone we are down is pointless.

In fairness mate, Chelsea had a strong uncatchable start with Abramovich 20 years ago, before that they were nothing, they then spent billions to achieve what they have whilst it got shut off for the rest of us after City did the same.

Not if we lose by one or two at Palace and arse it aint, and they score two v Newcastle or villa

GD is very real in this

 

[MACCA75]

If we look like settling for a point on Thursday then I suspect it will bite us on the arse.

But we were regarded as a chequebook team in the 60s (as well as the likes of Spurs) but, despite this, we didn't win much (that was my point). One league title and one fa cup in the whole decade (and that is one of our more memorable times, in terms of great players etc). I know we won the 69/70 title, of course, but wouldn't that count in the next decade's honours list (it can't be both)?
