cambridgeshire canary 6,514 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Taking it we all hoping for a Villa win today then? Or have we accepted that Newcastle probably wont be near the bottom of the table by the end of the season regardless?

To give Villa credit they have built themselves a pretty solid team with some star players.. May be 11th now but no doubt in my mind if they carry on they will slowly become a top ten team the way they are going. Or did I just jinx it saying that? 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted February 13, 2022 FFS compare this Villa performance to the one they produced at CR, they looked like Barca that night and can't string 2 passes together today. Is a cold, drizzly st.James' park just a tougher place to go or was it a case of sticking one over your old boss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 26 Posted February 13, 2022 I have the Burnley game on they started off really well but Liverpool are in control now. Newcastle result is not a good one but I have to say I expected them to get out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I don’t think they are one of the three now and more to the point if we end up going down we don’t want them coming with us. We need to do enough to drag a few others into it in the last quarter of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted February 13, 2022 Assuming they win this ... Newcastle are 4-3-3 over their last 10. That's good for 1.5 points/match which is above relegation form for any side. And those 3 losses were to Leicester, Man City, and United. They're almost surely staying up. We should just accept it and focus on Leeds and Brentford along with Watford and Burnley.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted February 13, 2022 As has been said previously, I think today's result means that the two sides we should be looking to catch are Brentford and Leeds. Brentford at home is now a must-win and a six-pointer for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 131 Posted February 13, 2022 It would appear they have bought their way out of it... no doubt Trippier must be in line for some huge bonus if they stay up, to compensate swapping Madrid for the hole that is Newcastle. Can't rely on 3 teams being sub 30 points any more - 6 wins and a couple of draws needed to drag Brentford into it. But I suppose that Eriksen will hit top gear for them at some stage... It's a shame we gave up so much ground early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) From here on in the bottom teams will now start to run into mid table teams like Villa , who league wise have little to play for....its about who can prove they want the more more than these mid table sides just as Newcastle did today Edited February 13, 2022 by GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted February 13, 2022 In terms of getting to 17th this weekend's results couldn't have been much worse. Clear daylight to 17th now plus games in hand and our chronic goal difference. Those 2 dropped points against Palace looking even more significant. We all have difficult games coming up next week/weekend so little change expected and then onto Brentford which is the Mother of all must win games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 643 Posted February 13, 2022 We're ****ed now. I can't see us getting back out of trouble. We'll look back at games like the 1-1 against a dreadful 10 men at Newcastle and 1-1 against Palace as being games where we blew it. Maybe even the 0-1 vs Man Utd at home, It's annoying because just as our form picked up so did Newcastle's. Is that 3 wins in a row for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 768 Posted February 13, 2022 I really think Newcastle need to be forgotten about, the millions they spent in January may even push them into mid table by May. IF we can achieve half a dozen wins it'll probably be Brentford we catch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 1,893 Posted February 13, 2022 I'm sure those hypocrites at TalkSport will be lauding Newcastle for finding form at the right moment when what they found was a brown envelope stuffed full of money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke63 539 Posted February 13, 2022 Villa don't seem to be achieving much under Gerrard despite all the cash spent. Coutinho is currently the shadow of a player he was at Liverpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
