Tom 2,492 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I hope it goes to the wire. Me too. With the title sewn up, I'd hate the drama on the last day to be about 'finishing fourth' (which I could not care less about). A relegation back and forth is always good. Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,350 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I want them both down. Newcastle because it's Newcastle (and True Geordie will have a breakdown on Youtube) and Sunderland because they've milked the Premier league for years while putting in the least required effort possible. No ambition Link to post Share on other sites
Vergilius 2 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Is there anybody who's watching/following the Russian league? Yes, how come? Wow, really? Is there any team you like? What do you think about the RFPL at all? Really, that's interesting to me what foreigners think about our league! I do enjoy the RFPL, they have more domestic players than most major European leagues and the atmosphere at the games are great. I´m Norwegian and Russia is a neighboring country and I have spent more time in Russia than England. I have friends in Rostov-on-Don, so when it comes to a favorite team I have to say FK Rostov. I were at the Olimp-2 stadium the last time back in April 2014 when FK Rostov drew Anzhi 1-1. Sinama-Pongolle, the flop in Liverpool, got a red card in that game if I remember correctly. What about you? Where in Russia are you from? Wow, cool. I'm from Moscow and I love Lokomotiv since 2002. So today I'll be at the stadium watching how Loko is losing its place in the table. What is funny: we had a player - Milan Jovanovich. He played in Liverpool and in Lokomotiv and was *** in the both clubs haha A lot of our domestic players care rather about money than football Good luck tonight! I hope you manage to secure the 4th spot :rolleyes: What Rostov have done this season is rather remarkable. They are only two points behind CSKA and might do a Leicester and win the league!

boksicdink 1,942 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Newcastle for me. I think Sunderland fans would be more able to accept us and Newcastle being a league above, could a Geordie accept being "3rd" behind both us and Sunderland whilst proclaiming to be the biggest team in the NE? That's something I hope to see very soon. Also, they hate their owner, they won't have a manager and most of their squad has no fight and is on big money - it's got the all the ingredients to "doing a Leeds".

Lord_Moose 387 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Definitely Newcastle for me. I don't mind Sunderland that much cause they know they are a naff team and I'd like to think it's 6 easy points for us haha! :D Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,297 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Newcastle down. I don't think they will be in the bottom 3 next season if they stay up, so better they go down and leave a team like Sunderland up who could well be down in the bottom 3 next season. Apart from that I'd like to see how Newcastle manage to do in the Championship. Can't imagine many of their foreign players will want to remain and with expensive players like Shelvey and Townsend on the books they could be forced to offload quite a lot of players and will need massive rebuilding. Still recon they will come straight up though. Link to post Share on other sites
Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 When Newcastle last went down before they had a number of grafters in their team. They also managed to get rid of a lot of the overpaid dross that was on their books at the time. (Geremi, Owen, Martins, Duff, Viduka.) That Newcastle team in 2009-2010 wasn't a classic but it had a lot of talent that fitted into Hughton's philosophy for that season. You know that Kevin Nolan, Alan Smith, Danny Guthrie, Nicky Butt etc are gonna give you honest performances. They also brought through Carroll who was able to stay fit and having a striker like that in the division will easily get you promoted. What do they have now? Emmanuel Rivière and Ayoze Perez? This current team has no fight in it whatsoever and you look through the teams and there isn't a core there at all. They are gonna need to entirely overhaul the squad in the summer.

Downsouth 6,326 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Be very surprised if Newcastle were not relegated tonight and I want Sunderland to stay up as we have not had a proper derby in a while. If both went down our nearest rivals would be both Manchester Clubs Link to post Share on other sites
Yeovil-Boro 4 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Newcastle down please. I know some Barcode fans and they are arrogant as you like. They think it's funny i'm a Boro fan and i'll think it funny they go down. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,280 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Always preferred the Newcastle derbies. As much as I love the idea of them struggling, I'd rather see them struggle in the same league as us so we can actually play them. Unless by some luck of the draw we get them in a cup game, that will roll onto possibly happening the season after next, assuming they come up and we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,280 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Higgy potentially already working his way up the leagues! Craig Hignett has been installed as the 8/13 favourite to replace Paul Lambert at Blackburn Rovers. Neil Warnock is second favourite behind Hignett ahead of Rochdale boss Keith Hill.

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 You've got to feel for Danny Welbeck, it looks like he's going to be out for 9 months through injury. Having only just come back, he was starting to look a very good player, Roy will be gutted, he's the second highest England goalscorer under Hodgson. Link to post Share on other sites

Having only just come back, he was starting to look a very good player, Roy will be gutted, he's the second highest England goalscorer under Hodgson. Feel for him because I wouldn't wish it on anyone but I wouldn't have had him anywhere near that England squad anyway after this season. He'd been out for quite a significant chunk already and he only came back about a month ago. That and you look at the likes of Kane, Vardy and Defoe who've scored tons this season altogether, as well as predictable call-ups for Sturridge and Rooney due to the captaincy, that's a lot of good strikers to choose from who you'd expect would score more than Welbeck. I know what with Oxlade-Chamberlain injured we don't have a great deal of options on the right which is likely where he would have played for Hodgson but he still wouldn't get in the team for me.

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 But Roy really rates him and he's the England manager. It's a real shame for England because he would have started. It means a bit of a rethink now. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my word, we were so pathetic against Kuban. Seems we don't wanna play in UEL. Yes, but Berdyev did the same with Rubin Link to post Share on other sites
