7 points and we’re safe – Habib Beye

Beye - Believes that Toon can survive

Prominent wingback and makeshift center back Habib Beye believes Newcastle United can remain a Premier League club if they manage 7 points from their last three games. That’s the equivalent of 2 wins and a draw, Fulham and Boro spring to mind as possible wins with a draw away to Villa next priority. Whether we can really get 2 wins in succession is beyond me or anyone else who follows football but you’d have to doubt it. However the ever optimistic Habib Beye, who is a fans favorite believe that 7 points can be their lucky number.

Beye said

’We know what we need to do.

“I think we need to get seven points to stay in the Premier League.

“We can’t afford to lose any more – we just need three points on Monday.”

“He said the game’s gone – we can’t do anything about it.

“We need to focus on the game against Boro – it will be the most important game for everybody in their lives.

“We need to work, and we need to stay focused on the game.

“We play on Monday against Boro, so we have had one week to work, and to beat them.

“Nobody thought before the game we could get something in Liverpool, because they are going for the title, but when you come to this place (Anfield), you want to enjoy the game and try to get something.

“I think the first goal was offside, but they are a really good team, and showed their quality. They had more quality than us – that’s it.

“It’s hard to keep a clean sheet against Liverpool.

“We have three games left now, and I think everybody knows what we need to stay in the Premier League.”

Indeed this is probably the most important Tyne-Tee match ever and could well decide the faith of either team, perhaps it could decide both fates if a draw is the end result, somehow I think there might just be some goals in the tie. I certainly hope so, and hope for all 3 points on Monday night.

Comments appreciated 🙂
