Glenn Roeder has refused to consider Newcastle could find themselves dragged into a Premiership relegation battle after the club's top-flight malaise continued to spread during a depressing weekend at St James's Park. The Magpies were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City on Saturday but, although a side without a goal in more than six hours of League action are not yet clear of danger, their manager is adamant he is not looking over his shoulder. (炮德拒绝去考虑我们是否有机会降级，事实上在周六主场被曼城击败後，我们已经 面临了好几场比赛的进球荒，而降级对我们来说并非完全不可能。) Roeder was angered after Stuart Pearce suggested that United could yet find themselves in a fight to survive during the remaining six weeks of the season. But, although defeat at Bramall Lane this weekend would leave his team just three points above Sheffield United, Newcastle's optimistic manager will not entertain talk of imminent struggle. "There are plenty of teams below us as well and they all have less points than us," said Roeder, who believes the seven-point cushion between United and the top-flight drop-zone should ensure his side's exclusion from the relegation reckoning. "You should be asking them whether they are looking over their shoulders. "It hasn't crossed my mind. The only thing that has crossed my mind is the next game, trying to take the three points and moving up the table. We need to gather ourselves up again on Monday, work hard and make sure we're in the right frame of mind and mental condition to go to Sheffield United next weekend." (炮德表示降级那马子事情一点都没有让他感到困扰，他唯一会去考虑的只有下一场对 雪菲联的比赛，思考要怎样拿到3分然後在积分榜攀升。) Although a seven-point advantage with seven matches remaining should be enough to ensure that Newcastle do not become involved in a survival scrap, Roeder's men are not yet safe. One more win would see United reach 40 points, but the Magpies have taken just one from the last available 12 and, in their last four games, have lost to three teams below them in the table. (尽管常理来说与降级区差七分，而之後还有七场比赛应该可以让炮德的球队不至於降 级。但是这不意味着一切都安心了，只要在一场胜利就可以达到40分积分。 但是这群喜鹊们已经在前四场比赛中，输三场给排名比我们还要後面的球队了。) With West Ham and Charlton having both won their last two fixtures, the Premiership relegation battle is not the foregone conclusion it has long appeared. Although 11th in the standings, Newcastle are amongt those in danger of being dragged back down. (总之随着查尔顿以及槌子联他们都赢了最近两场比赛，到底谁要冲向降级区， 一切都很模糊暧昧不清啊....总之死炮德觉得这种很惨的状况应该不会出现才对.... 他再继续恶搞下去谁知道会不会出现=___=+ ) 另外，炮德也提到关於最近状况超差的Martins，虽然状况差，但他跟Duff一样， 因为是炮德自己买的，总是不需要被责备..... "It's possible that he has lost a bit of sparkle," said Roeder. "He's a young player and we rely on him heavily. The experience will do him good in the long term and he will come through this experience of not scoring for a few games. But he needs more help from other players in the team, they must score goals as well." (总之就是在替他的爱将辩护这几场低级的miss chance....) ------------------------------------------------------------------ 拜托一下，已经连输好几场比赛了。 至少把保级该拿到的分数先拿稳吧..... 不要告诉我们炮德你的目标就是带喜鹊去喝可口可乐.... --
