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. (砲德拒絕去考慮我們是否有機會降級，事實上在週六主場被曼城擊敗後，我們已經 面臨了好幾場比賽的進球荒，而降級對我們來說並非完全不可能。) 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." (砲德表示降級那馬子事情一點都沒有讓他感到困擾，他唯一會去考慮的只有下一場對 雪菲聯的比賽，思考要怎樣拿到3分然後在積分榜攀升。) 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. (儘管常理來說與降級區差七分，而之後還有七場比賽應該可以讓砲德的球隊不至於降 級。但是這不意味著一切都安心了，只要在一場勝利就可以達到40分積分。 但是這群喜鵲們已經在前四場比賽中，輸三場給排名比我們還要後面的球隊了。) 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. (總之隨著查爾頓以及槌子聯他們都贏了最近兩場比賽，到底誰要衝向降級區， 一切都很模糊曖昧不清啊....總之死砲德覺得這種很慘的狀況應該不會出現才對.... 他再繼續惡搞下去誰知道會不會出現=___=+ ) 另外，砲德也提到關於最近狀況超差的Martins，雖然狀況差，但他跟Duff一樣， 因為是砲德自己買的，總是不需要被責備..... "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." (總之就是在替他的愛將辯護這幾場低級的miss chance....) ------------------------------------------------------------------ 拜託一下，已經連輸好幾場比賽了。 至少把保級該拿到的分數先拿穩吧..... 不要告訴我們砲德你的目標就是帶喜鵲去喝可口可樂.... --
