The focus may well be on international football this weekend as people turn their attention towards the Euro 2012 qualifiers, but it’s NUFC that will still be at the centre of my attention.
I’m viewed as being quite positive with regard to all things black and white, which annoys some people to be fair, but I do understand that there are some definite concerns over our Premier League status. I still think that we’ll be fine, but it is a bit too close for comfort and is certainly a lot closer than it should have been.
So here we are with only eight games of the season remaining. We are currently sitting in 11th place in the table with a total of 36 points. Results are a concern, but if it’s a concern for us then it should also be a concern for any team from ninth downwards. After all, there are still five teams in the league who are in worse form than us!
So what about these other teams then? Most of us know what fixtures we have left, but do we really know what the other teams have to face at the same time? Personally I don’t. I know a few fixtures that other teams have, but I don’t know them all. What I could do with is rounding them all up into one handy article so we can see just what these other teams are up against. Well here goes, starting with:

And after all of that, there you have it. Your comprehensive list of who is playing who in the final few games of the season.
My first observation is that a lot of teams still have a lot of tough games to play. Mind you, at this time of the season the form book can go out of the window as teams start to scrap for their lives. What do you make of it?
Personally I would hope that we can get some points on the board at the earliest opportunity to prevent having to refer back to this list in the future. That’s the ideal though of course.
Time will tell!
Relegation watch!

£1 a week in office syndicate. Been doing it for about five years now and are making a small profit. Never do it for mysel. Maybe should give it a try. My local bookies the day was full of folk putting lines on.
Popular choice seems to three numbers is that what you go for?
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
Well he’s blown his feet off!
I give it till the end of the season, which is a shame because I think people wanted to use both blogs.
Having said that I don’t think tere’s room for three blogs like this – pretty much the same people using them.
Worky hasn’t helped himself.

toonsy(Quote)
Stuart…which three blogs…are you putting Ed’s in there alongside .org and this blog…or have I been missing out on something ?

Good news for us lads 🙂
AndrewNUFC(Quote)
I would certainly hope that Stuart isn’t putting either here or .org in the same bracket as Ed’s!
As much as I despise the fact that I am somehow the bad the guy in all of this (N.B. I wasn’t actually here when whatever kicked off) I do at least credit .org with the odd original piece, although obviously not as much as it used to be 😛
toonsy(Quote)
Would anyone care to fill me the **** in as to what has happened?
toonsy(Quote)
No idea toonsy 😆
dan4toon(Quote)
If you want to update the ticket info on the home page toonsy Liverpools sold out and Blackpools down to 40 loyalty points.
AndrewNUFC(Quote)
Sound 🙂
I’ll do it now 🙂
toonsy(Quote)
Wasnt expecting Liverpool to sell out so fast to be honest.
AndrewNUFC(Quote)
Neither was I! 😯

fekin p!ssed 😀
If another blog has died or is dying(which it is) then its down to one man. When ya wrong ya apologise(if yara real man), I intensely disagree with alot of Funky Jesus’s views on somethings(not football related) but that lad apologised when he’d done nowt wrong and respect for that…….some people, who know they are in the wrong havn’t got the balls or humility to say sorry. That’s pure arrogance and pig headedness, nowt to do with being ill or going through hard times and those that defend them are as bad in my view. You reap what you sow, karma is a wonderful thing. P!ssed up rant over with……anyone who’s offended…**** off 😉
richietoon(Quote)
How do Rich? 😆
As I’ve just said somewhere else, to use the “I’m ill” card is a complete travesty given how I (not blowing trumpet as I’d rather not have had to go through it) carried on.
Nobody else has problems though eh 🙄

Two can play that game (4x)
Stay with me but if you want to leave
Take your things
Forget all about me
Tell me why you fail to realize
That you might not ever
Get another try
Girl think
About it before you leave
Cause bobby’s got a brand new swing
And so if you want to do your own thing
I hear what you’re sayin’
Two can play that game you’re playin’
CHORUS:
Two can play that game (4x)
Listen, lately you’ve been actin’ mighty strange
To me it seems your attitude has changed
and suddenly you just don’t seem the same
Instead of playin’ all those silly games
Girl think yeah about it before you leave
Cause bobby’s got a brand new swing
And so if you want to do your own thing
I hear what you’re sayin’
Two can play that game you’re playin’
(chorus 4x)
Rap:
Everybody wants to be a newjack, fronting the
styles
of the brown’s kind of wild now i’m back. But don’t
get me wrong, cause i was never gone, i was here
all along see my flavor stands strong and get ya,
and can swift ya. Ted do they know where i’m
coming from (yep)
Hey yo ted do they know where i’m from (yep)
Hey yo ted do they know where i’m comin’ from
(yep yep)
Bust it. Let’s groove to the new type of styling get
wild and
loose with the darker the berry and sweet jucie
and when
i burst you only two words is hurt me, hurt me, just
better stand still i move at will then i make my kill
Snatch and tax your brain got **** i’m insane but
i refrain
From using that name because two can play that
game
