Where there are games left there is still hope, but we running out of games now and sooner rather than later we will literally be in "must win" games. For me a defeat today would be catastrophic. I've said on here before that a couple more defeats and I can see Short pulling the plug and we go into Administration, like Ken Bates did with Leeds a few years ago. I pray that it doesn't come to that.
The table is looking less healthy than a few days ago, so to restore the balance we need to win this game.
I predict Villa 1-0 Burton, Preston 2-1 Hull, QPR 1-0 Barnsley, Sheff w 1-1 Birm, Sunderland 2-1. 20th Sunderland 28 points----------18 minus by the way, this computer ! 21st Birm 28 ------------------21 22nd Barnsley 27 ------------------15 23rd Hull 25 -------------------7 24th Burton. 25----------------- -33 Come on lads I will be there and give the players all the support I can, hope we play well and the debut boys do great.
Sunderland: Camp, Matthews, Jones, O’Shea, Browning, Oviedo, Cattermole, Robson, Ejaria, Asoro, Fletcher Subs: Ruiter, Maja, Honeyman, McGeady, Gooch, Love, LuaLua
Going to watch the 6 Nations this afternoon. Gone for the draw, but got an awful feeling that Mick Mac will be taking the three points back to Ipswich come 5pm
I know this is the matchday thread, but the Rodwell thread has just disappeared ?? Anyway, Radio Newcastle were talking his situation, said he'd been offered a pay off. Gary Bennett says- the thing is, what is a substantial amount to SAFC ( a whole football club ,138 years old and hopefully around for a long time yet) maybe isn't a substantial amount to Jack Rodwell (a single waste of space player, who's association will be a couple of years and will quickly become forgotten). If that's the case it just shows what player power can be these days, and just how down we are.
Ideal eh? Look, lets face fact instead of pissing about like they do on Sundermad. We're ****ed. We're down.
