Newcastle (H) - Sun 8th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Are they based on the win percentage on 90 mins on Wednesday ?? Or just as meaningless?

The chances of them winning the match.

If it is settled on goal difference, then we will probably lose out. Having to pull 3 goals back over 3 games would be difficult.

Sorry I thought we were one behind? If hypothetically we win by 4 today, we would be 3 ahead. If we then lost a game by one and they won one by 2 we’d be level and it would depend on the results over the other 2 games? However I prefer the option on wining our 4 remaining games

Now the scousers have drawn GD may well come into play. A 1-0 win later will see us both level on GD. I just hope we swap our ballet shoes for footy boots and shoot on sight. No tryna walk the ball in the net today lads, we need a couple of thunderbastards to demoralise the toon and quell any more talk of scousers mentioning the quadruple.

I've found all the quad boasting by them and the media disrespectful to us because we have been in pole position in the league and are in control of our own destiny.

Let's make today's game a bear pit and raise the roof, COME ON CITY!!!

Fingers crossed but this is such a huge game -one slip and our Season could meltdown.

I am reminded of the old Proverb:

"For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail"

..........and all for the want of a striker.

After the 2-2 draw with Liverpool we were 6 behind. Win today and we will be ahead.

Was there a rumour that Sergio would be there today or have I dreamed it?

Yes rumour.

Did he bring his boots?

Did he bring his boots?

I still feel slightly aggrieved that Pellegrini subbed Sergio after scoring 5 with over 30 minutes to play against Newcastle. He was on fire that day and should have been left on to see if he could beat the most goals scored in a PL game.

Yes but they’ve scored more goals so level GD is still a win for them, next you have to consider the fact we HAVE to lose a game for Gd to matter, thus that means another goal minus on the Gd.

So, for Gd to come into effect and City to be ahead on it, we need to improve our GD by atleast 3 on the dippers.
