Who organises the fixtures, a Saturday game followed by a Monday game? That is 1 rest day. The opposition high flying Spurs, fighting hard for a top 4 finish. Followed by the nemesis that is Everton. If offered I'd take the six points now I can see a third choice back four in place by the time we play Everton. . If we can take 3 points from these fixtures I think we can realistically look at finishing 7th.
I would be happy with 2 points from these games. Blasted Everton again and we rarely do anything against Spurs! (see what i did there! )
Not ideal but it depends which Sunderland side show up. Id go all out against Spurs and see what happens.
On past form we have more chance at home to spurs than away to Everton. All teams have the same problem I know but O'Neill will be forced to rotate on this crazy schedule. However we really need our strongest team for both games.
Well we held Everton at Goodison in the cup....plus we should give Spurs a real go at the SOL.... So with that in mind, my usually crap predictions are............2 draws.
Always been 2 games at Easter, surely? Two real toughies, mind. I think we can hold our own against Spurs and really hope we get something off Everton (not a twatting, obviously). Two draws would be respectable at this stage of the season.
4 points from these game. Draw against Spurs, and a win vs Everton - the players will be gunning for Everton and we need to beat them to have a realistic chance of finishing above them in the league.
Before our game at Chittee I predicted we would get a result there, not many on here agreed with me, I just thought that the pressure is building on these teams at the top, and we can play fairly relaxed. Well our Easter visitors the Spuds are in a similar situation in trying to keep ahead of Arsenal, so the pressure is very much on them to get a result whereas we can go into the game without any pressure as we did last weekend, so I predict we will beat Spurs but however I cannot call it at Everton because they just seem to beat us no matter what. Its defo 3 points for me and anything at Everton will be a bonus.
I think we will comfortably beat Everton at Goodison, maybe 2 or 3 - 1. At that point all of the fans will say. "Why the hell didn't we play like that in the FA Cup". Seb Larsson will be running around like a black panther hunting down it's prey.
Back in the 60s (sorry about harking on about the past ... ) they used to play Good Friday, Saturday, and either Monday or Tuesday! But this weekend I think we might have to settle for just a couple of points... but still two more on the scoreboard than we might have expected at one time
Forget Everton, they are a bogey team, you have no chance. Make up for it by going all out for a very achievable 3 points vs Spurs. You know im right
Nice try mate, hope you well in your season, but wish you hell come Saterday, Im sure you will understand.
If we play like we did against City, 6 points. If we play like we did against Everton just surrender now. I for one am expecting the former, 6 points are ours.
