Relegation Permutations

[mattbianco1]

We can officially be relegated this weekend. If we lose we can only match Newcastle's current points tally of 32 which means with GD, a defeat at Wolves puts us down.

In the top 4 divisions, we are the ONLY team that can be relegated this weekend and we've got more remaining games than any of those in the EFL divisions.

Newcastle play West Ham in the lunchtime game. If West Ham win, a draw for us or better takes us to next weekend.

It's actually been a pathetic season hasn't it

I'd actually take it. Puts us out of our misery, and allows for the appointment of a manager who then won't have the relegation on his CV.

 

[mattbianco1]

Newcastle's remaining games are:

West Ham
Liverpool
Arsenal
Leicester
Man City
Blades
Fulham

They could be in deep shit, TBH. Shame it won't be us that can catch them

[Nosworthys Throw]

Its been so taxing this season, think im gonna celebrate it

 

[FredZeppelin]

The most soul destroying, depressing, and humiliating season ever for me. Every week it feels like torture. I don't think even the official confirmation of relegation will ease that, either.
The only thing the club can do to brighten the end of the season now is appoint a new manager that we can all get behind and play some of the young talent we have in every game to give them, and us, some hope for the future of our club.

If we can just win our next five, that second to last game of the season will be a massive six-pointer, with fans allowed in as well.

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

That's what we get for sacking Blackwell.

 

[blade_ben]

We’re relegated. There’s no permutations

And we can start introducing youngsters without them bearing any responsibility for relegation.

Talk about turning points...knew this would come back to haunt us one day.

 

[Davalon]

If we could all just get our spoons out and harness the power of the mind.....

Still won’t happen I bet. Heckingbottom seems shit scared to change owt.

Wolves fans think we have already changed to 4 4 2 !

But we could actually help bring them down with us?!?

Feel like I've been spoon fed Lundstrum long enough...

I'd rather Fulham come down. They will lose all their loan players and have to rebuild again. Newcastle will just win the league as per usual

 

[PokerBlade]

I've already written up the terms of our surrender.

 

[FredZeppelin]

Times like these call for something a bit special. Let's send out a clear message to Wolves right from the off!!!



Take that you horrible West Midlanders!!

I feel like he's been used to waterboard me

The Athletic did an article on whether it is a crumb of comfort to avoid the joint record for earliest relegation in the Premier League era earlier this week. Defeat for United and a point for Newcastle will confirm it.

Earliest Premier League relegations

CLUB	SEASON	GAMES TO PLAY	DATE CONFIRMED
Derby County	2007-08	6	March 29
Huddersfield Town	2018-19	6	March 30
Ipswich Town*	1994-95	6	April 14
Fulham	2018-19	5	April 2
Portsmouth	2009-10	5	April 10
Sunderland	2002-03	5	April 12
Sunderland	2005-06	5	April 14
* 42-game season

and my comment on the article was:

To be honest, in the context of this truly awful season a confirmed (R) can't come soon enough. Neither can getting the next 7 games out of the way. If we could forfeit them somehow I would. The only record I was keen on avoiding was Derby's lowest points one and we've somehow managed that. All about looking to next season now and at least mathematically being confirmed for the Championship is the first step.

I've actually quite enjoyed it Mr glass half empty!!!!!!!

Chris Wilder is the only manager getting this relegation anywhere near their CV. Egginsbottoms will just have ‘U23’s coach reluctantly moved to 1st team manager as punishment for sins in a past life’ on his.

Can’t believe you’ve given up. We only need heavy points deductions for a few teams and we’re home and hosed.

Well, Heckinbottom has (rightly or wrongly) been written off based on about 5 games.

Any manager taking over this shit show would end the season with a bit of egg on their face - even if that’s just a function of the number of bedwetters there are.

Being officially relegated before you arrive inevitably removes some stigma.

 

[SwissBlade]

Lets get this done.

I can't believe you think we are going down, where's your fighting spirit?!!
