Remaining fixtures for the teams in it at the bottom...


Stoke City - Tottenham (H) / Southampton (A)
Fulham - Liverpool (H) / Swansea (A)
Aston Villa - Chelsea (H) / Wigan (A)
Southampton - Sunderland (A) / Stoke (H)
Sunderland - Southampton (H) / Tottenham (A)
Norwich City - West Brom (H) / Man City (A)
Newcastle - QPR (A) / Arsenal (H)
Wigan - Arsenal (A) / Aston Villa (H)


Think we can discount Stoke in all honesty.

We know what we need to do after the Sunderland/Stoke and Wigan/Swansea results - but can we finally get over the line?

Bit early isn't it as it's on Sunday? :emoticon-0112-wonde

Would prefer to hear positive vibes about how we will win on Sunday, rather than petty moaning about the time of this thread being posted, that is somewhat more important in my mind. I feel after tonights result, there will be less pressure on our lot to perform. Providing they turn up with the right attitude they should do well enough, in my opinion we have the better team on paper, let's hope they prove it on the grass.

Although I probably wouldn't have posted to that effect, I did 'like' the post as I think it's a legitimate complaint. There will be no news about the game until probably Friday so what do we talk about until then? It is too early in my opinion, just leads to pages of lineup predictions.

Anyway, if we must discuss the game already, I can't see Sunderland winning, they are a poor team and are severely weakened by injuries and suspensions. We have lost games like that before though...
 
Read earlier that Di Canio only has 13 fit outfield players, and he'll lose Danny Rose on the final day.

We should win, got a funny feeling this will go the same as the Reading away fixture, as Di Canio doesn't strike me as the type of manager who likes to shut up shop.

Oh what a surprise, PTF is having a moan at someone again.

I shan't bother in future if people are so picky over what is posted.

But then I imagine you'd also have moaned if no one had posted anything or left it very late.

Oh come on can't you take a joke?
 
First of all...great match thread DTLW!

We can win this, their 1st half against Stoke shows how rattled they can get when teams get at them from the whistle, and we are very good at that.

Right so who's moaning at who exactly?

Grow up. We all have different opinions and expressing one isn't always "moaning" you know.
 
Can't wait for this, flying over to Newcastle for the weekend and then seeing Saints rubber stamp safety...Good times!Going to be optimistic for a change and go for a 2-1 victory
