Newcastle United Fights To Prevent Relegation

[UNHWildCats]

Big mach for them today taking Portsmouth to a draw.

This put them in great position to fight out of relegation. They are currently 3 points behind Hull City with the following matches remaining; @ Liverpool, Middlesborough, Fulham, @ Aston Villa.

Prognosis, 1-0-3 to finish 7-13-18 with 34 points.

Hull City has four matches remaining against; @ Aston Villa, Stoke City, @ Bolton, Manchester United.

Prognosis, 0-0-4 to finish 8-10-20 with 34 points.


First tie breaker is goal differential and right now Newcastle has a 6 goal advantage there.


Shoul be an exciting final few weeks for them.

That's very optimistic on your part. You have to expect that Liverpool will beat Newcastle United - the game is at Liverpool and Liverpool is fighting for first overall.

I also think Hull City has a good chance to win at home against Stoke City.

Newcastle is in trouble. They are going to need help around them to get out. Or win some big games.

lol well I was figuring Newcastle would beat Middlesborough

I want to share your optimism... but probably not...

Good match today... but again... all they ever manage is a draw

Liverpool-Loss
Middlesborough-Win

Aston Villa-Loss
All this = Relegation

if that happens and Hull City loses out... not impossible, and more likely then not, then depending on goal differential (currently Newcastle has a advantage by 6 over Hull City) then Newcastle would avoid relegation....

[TwinTownBisonFan]

Hull losing out is possible...

they play Aston, Stoke, Bolton and the Red Devils in their final four Aston and the Devs should be able to mop them... trouble is a draw with Bolton or Stoke, which are both very possible... would be the end... which is why i'm not optimistic.

[slycat]

Or if Newcastle draws with Middlesbourgh. They haven't been scoring much lately.

Although I pick AV to beat Hull, one never knows. Same thing could be said of the AV Newcastle match though, which is this.
Aston Villa could only muster up a 1-1 tie against Bolton this past Sat. Bolton is in 13th four spots behind Hull.
Looks like I will be going to my favorite pub in Vegas since they play next Monday and we will be gone.

best time i ever had watching the EPL was at MGM Grand in Vegas... woke up WAY too early for Vegas and watched in the sports book with about 300 Man City fans (who were in town for a Ricky Hatton fight that night)... what an experience.

3-0 loss to Liverpool today doesn't help. But they are lucky that the teams around them lost too so they haven't lost any ground.

In other news Wolverhampton and Birmingham are both getting promoted back into the Premier League.

[TwinTownBisonFan]

i would have liked them to keep the gd down on that loss... but i'm not surprised it went the way it did

barton being sent off is big problem though... totally needless

Hull City didn't play yesterday. They play at Aston Villa today. After today everyone will have three games remaining (except Man U and Wigan, but they aren't part of this discussion).

Hull City loses 1-0

[TwinTownBisonFan]

goal differential is now only +4 for newky

[appmaj]

They are going down...but will be right back up

[TwinTownBisonFan]

They are going down...but will be right back up

small comfort... significant humiliation...

[dbackjon]

They are going down...but will be right back up

This whole relegation thing is so wierd to me.

why do you think they will be right back up?


And good to see you again!

And good to see you again!

the Magpies have had a lot of bad beats... a lot of off the pitch issues... coaching changes... a mess...

they are good enough to be a mid-table team... who ran in to the season from hell

as for relegation... i'd like to see it in american sports as well (esp hockey and basketball)

[TwinTownBisonFan]

Hull goes down 2-1 and the Magpies face middlesbrough tomorrow... big game for the lads...

[Grizalltheway]

Newcastle claw their way out of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win over Middlesbrough

[TwinTownBisonFan]

brilliant leadership from allan shearer... owen and martins step up with scores in the second half after being subbed in.
