No one in their right mind would think we are better than Newcastle or have a better team or play better…. But we have to have the same logic a non league team has against a prem team in the FA cup….. crazy results happen! They do mate. I agree. But we don’t have a team. This team reminds me of Newcastle side that was in free fall the year we pulled off the great escape. Or the QPR we spanked 5-1 last game. Watford last year. They are not there anymore. No one is looking over their shoulder thinking oh Leicester might come. Very few in our squad are looking at it thinking we can do this. The Liverpool game was our chance of a special result. Home, evening game. Good start. We threw it, live we’ve done many many times before. These players just don’t have it in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought for the last 10 weeks or so that the one thing I fancy is 3 points last day. But, we are gonna need a point v Geordies now. Our best hope of a point is being 2 or 3 up with a minute to play, and we throw it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just maybe they'll take the foot off the gas and only beat us by 5 goals, instead of 6. Not when we smash them 5-0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can still finish above them on GD if they lose next week and we beat West Ham. How likely is that though? Plus Leeds getting points is highly likely.

If there's 18 minutes of stoppages, they add that 18 minutes on at the end. That's how. There wasn’t 18 minutes of fairies pretending to be hurt.

We ain’t getting nowt at Newcastle and Everton will beat Bournemouth on the last day.

All routes to safety have to assume we beat West Ham, we're pretty much toast if we don't because only a win at Newcastle is good enough for any other permutation.

For me it’s when we won neither of the two ‘must win’ games against Leeds and Everton, and then subsequently the ‘must win’ game against Fulham. They were our last plausible opportunities of the points I think we’d need to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think or believe will happen at this point is irrelevant - this is a simple mathematical truth - a route to survival has been taken off the table, that reduces our odds of survival. That's not the point I'm making. Our approach should have been always to win both games regardless of what happened elsewhere and barring Leeds winning tomorrow, a win on Monday and it's in our own hands. Of course the goal makes a difference to our chances, but assuming Leeds don't win tomorrow it's still in our own hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of us have an emotional connection to the club so we cant help it. Most of know we are almost definitely doomed but despite logic when there is a mathematical chance there is still hope albeit small. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 12 minutes ago, Mickyblueeyes said: I know crazy results happen but no one can truly believe our defence keeps out Newcastle or beats West Ham. They’ve buckled every year whenever they’ve heard a roar. Who in our midfield takes control ? We don’t have it in us. I am so sure of it that if we take even 4 points from our remaining games, I will happily buy a Forest shirt. It’s over. It was over 3 weeks ago. Well it's not over is it, that's clearly just a downright misrepresentation of the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jattdogg Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 Maybe the league wants a final day to remember. Newcastle lose to us, then pool still has an outside chance against united (maybe) and newcastle (maybe) to sneak 4th... bring on the fix! Newcastle get a dodgy red and we win 4-1. Takes the GD between pool and newcastle down to 4... the final day seeing as southampton are already relegated they get a red so pool can run up the score. Chelsea get a last minute goal to beat newcastle..... Then we draw west ham while leeds and forest loses both games and are relegated. Dreaming again. Essentially, relegated on monday isnt it?

sishades Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 (edited) Forest will beat Arsenal. Their fans and team are both up for it, and we have seen plenty of fight from them to suggest that they will stay up. Edited 20 May 2023 by sishades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 (edited) 8 minutes ago, martyn said: If you can't comprehend why Everton turning 0 points at 98 mins into 1 point at 99 mons makes relegation statistically more likely then not much I can say. Again, it puts much more stock on actually getting a result at Newcastle so that Everton need to win on the final day to be sure of survival rather than just a point. But, like I’ve said….. if you entertain for a second that Leeds can drop points too… draw or lose. That puts Leeds on 31 or 32 points and Everton on 33. Again, theoretically if we produce a shock result and beat Newcastle that puts us on 33, with a far superior goal difference we go above Everton and out of the bottom three… then we go into the last game of the season out of the bottom three, and a win keeps us safe. So I do not know why you keep babbling on about Everton needing just a point to be safe…. That will be the case if we lose to Newcastle, on Monday, which is on Monday, today is Saturday which is before Monday and not after Monday, so as things stand, on this very Saturday Everton will need more than this one magical point you keep referring too. If on Monday, we’ve lost, then yes, Everton will only need a point to stay up. Edited 20 May 2023 by Pliskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 28 minutes ago, Gerard said: FFS, that's a massive point for Everton, means they can afford to draw versus Bournemouth assuming we lose at Newcastle and beat West Ham. We have to get a point at Newcastle now just to keep everyone honest. Forest will be in reach assuming they lose today and Leeds also need 4pts from two to stay above us. The strange thing is if Howe and Smith could shake hands on a point now they'd both do it without thinking twice. Maybe it will favour us if we go into the last 5 mins still drawing? I hope not. We need it in our hands we’d be the biggest fools in the game if we settled for a point imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 20 May 2023 Share Posted 20 May 2023 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Mickyblueeyes said: That would put us on 33. I don’t see it. West Ham will score. We will make at least one heartbreaking mistakes. But even if we do, Everton will not lose at home to already safe Bournemouth. They might be push to a draw but that takes them to 34. I might sound incredibly negative but I’m just being realistic. Even if we get the “boys tried and just fell short” media posts after West Ham. The Newcastle defeat will do us. 33 points has a reasonably high chance of safety for us. Weeks ago I said this, forget Everton, they probably were always going to get safe after we left them off the hook. But Forest's last two games against Arsenal and Palace away are extremely hard for them. West Ham at home is more winnable for us than either of those games are for Forest and Leeds have West Ham and Tottenham. Obviously all of those games are winnable for all of those teams. It's the Premier League, everyone can beat everyone that's why it's entertaining. But talking about what's LIKELY? We're nowhere near as "down" as people have been making out for the last couple weeks. Obviously if Arsenal bottle this then it's over but until then 🤷 EDIT: I can't count. Forest have 34 not 33.
