Match Day Thread Sunderland vs Saints - 11/02/17 KO-15:00

I'm going if I perform well can I have a ticket for the final?

 

Will be the last time you sit in the upper tier there. New PL rules next season.

 

Are the new rules that PL teams won't play Championship teams?

 

Good point

At Newcastle then


(Though if they beat us at weekend I can see them doing it yet again!)

 

Speaking of which, relegation prediction using expected goals model:



Sunderland are 75%, but you'll have to zoom in to see ours.

Does that mean a. predicted goals are bollocks or b. we are actually not bad. Who knows.

Can't see it as don't have twitter. What does it show?

 

Lots of lines and colours

 

Probably a copy paste fail by me, I've added a direct link.

 

In every side's form of the previous five games was to continue at the same rate over the final 14 games (which of course it won't), then the final table from 9th to 20th reads:

9. West Ham 56
10. Watford 52
11. Stoke 51
12. Burnley 46
13. Swansea 46
14. Hull 40
15. Saints 35
16. Sunderland 33
17. Bmouth 32
18. Boro 29
19. Palace 27
20. Leicester 24

 

I think it means the creator has far too much time on their hands

 

You can get fantastic odds on the Boro, Palace and Leicester treble fwiw.

Can't see that happening (numbers wise) 17th on 32? Don't think anyone's ever stayed up on that few.

 

Amazingly low relegation line though. I don't think it will be higher than 35, maybe around 32.

 

Oh agreed. I'd be amazed if the points tallies ended that low. It's more of an indication that for people (rightly) worried about our current form sucking us into the relegation battle, there are still sides out there whose form is equally as bad as ours, if not worse (over the past five matches). Swansea and Hull might have turned the corner recently, but it takes five sides to overtake us, not two. (Of the sides below us, Sunderland are also on better form. But on a comparison such as this, they run out of games before overtaking us)

 

Not sure mate. Most of our current players wouldn't know who it is

 

I can only assume your presence here is a desperate attempt to escape the doom and gloom of the Portsmouth forum as your team rapidly sinks out of the play-off places? never mind there's always next season. You'll get up to League 1 one day!

 

That's as much as I can do for now, I'll find a smaller Sunderland badge!

 

Cheers Chilcs

 

It`s been 2-2 on my last two visits to the SoL, and wouldn`t be surprised with a similar result. Hopefully Sunderland have used up all their goals last week. Can`t wait !

 

I'm going for 1-1 Jay to score this time.
