Sorry but I'm bored to tears with all the focus on teams around us on a week by week panic. IT'S IN OUR OWN HANDS. there's always going to be weekends where teams around us win. But there are plenty of weekends where we'll pick up points when others don't. We are a victim of our own fixture list so far, but what has been a hinderance has now become a massive advantage. Lets look at everybodies bread and butter home games over the long stretch starting with us. Sunderland home fixtures Sunderland v Norwich Sunderland v Aston Villa Sunderland v Southampton Sunderland v Stoke Sunderland v Hull Sunderland v West Brom Sunderland v Crystal Palace Sunderland v West Ham Sunderland v Everton Sunderland v Cardiff Sunderland v Swansea Crystal Palace Home Fixtures Crystal Palace v Newcastle Crystal Palace v Norwich Crystal Palace v Stoke Crystal Palace v Hull Crystal Palace v West Brom Crystal Palace v Man Utd Crystal Palace v Southampton Crystal Palace v Chelsea Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Crystal Palace v Man City Crystal Palace v Liverpool Fulham Fixtures Fulham v Man City Fulham v West Ham Fulham v Sunderland Fulham v Southampton Fulham v Liverpool Fulham v Chelsea Fulham v Newcastle Fulham v Everton Fulham v Norwich Fulham v Hull Fulham v Crystal Palace West Ham United Fixtures West Ham v Sunderland West Ham v Arsenal West Ham v West Brom West Ham v Newcastle West Ham v Swansea West Ham v Norwich West Ham v Southampton West Ham v Hull West Ham v Man Utd West Ham v Liverpool West Ham v Crystal Palace West Ham v Tottenham Cardiff City Fixtures Cardiff v West Brom Cardiff v Southampton Cardiff v Sunderland Cardiff v West Ham Cardiff v Norwich Cardiff v Hull Cardiff v Fulham Cardiff v Liverpool Cardiff v Crystal Palace Cardiff v Stoke Cardiff v Chelsea West Bromwich Albion Fixtures West Brom v Hull West Brom v Newcastle West Brom v Everton West Brom v Liverpool West Brom v Chelsea West Brom v Fulham West Brom v Man Utd West Brom v Cardiff West Brom v Tottenham West Brom v West Ham West Brom v Stoke Norwich City Fixtures Norwich v Swansea Norwich v Fulham Norwich v Man Utd Norwich v Hull Norwich v Newcastle Norwich v Man City Norwich v Tottenham Norwich v Stoke Norwich v Sunderland Norwich v West Brom Norwich v Liverpool Norwich v Arsenal Hull City Fixtures Hull v Stoke Hull v Man Utd Hull v Fulham Hull v Chelsea Hull v Tottenham Hull v Southampton Hull v Newcastle Hull v Man City Hull v West Brom Hull v Swansea Hull v Arsenal Hull v Everton Stoke City Fixtures Stoke v Aston Villa Stoke v Everton Stoke v Liverpool Stoke v Man Utd Stoke v Swansea Stoke v Arsenal Stoke v West Ham Stoke v Hull Stoke v Newcastle Stoke v Tottenham Stoke v Fulham I know which set of Home fixture I'd rather have. There are lots places for others to slip up. With the points we have now plus our home games there's 41 points on offer, even more if we start picking up away points too. It's in our own hands and home form is the key as of now and oh how the fixture list is set up to aid us. Last thing we need is a ground full of non believers getting on the teams back. Don't Panic and KTF lads!
I go to games, Whenever I can afford it. How many times have you put your finances at risk to see the lads? I was a season ticket holder for 16 years dim wit. If you had any kind of brain (which you don't because you're thick as pig ****) you'd understand that peoples finances can prevent them from buying season tickets.
Well get of your ass & find a better job what makes more money. I just don't understand how people can't afford £22 pound a game. the crowd was 38,000 yesterday & it wouldn't surprise me if went down more.
I'm a Home carer dickhead. If you gave **** about anybody but yourself or if anybody gave a **** about you then you might hold some empathy on the matter. You're just a thick heartless thug so we don't have much else to talk about on this subject.
You ****ing ****. How dare you tell people to earn more money. I am a Hull supporter and had a pass the last 10 years. This year I cannot afford one due to shorter hours at work. Get your head out of your ass, there is more to life than football
Id be a tad concerned if I was a West Brom fan. Norwich also have some tough fixtures to.come at home. its in our hands. If we win enough home games we'll stay up
We were all (or most of us) were saying get the first 8 home fixtures out of the way then the season starts again with the winnable home fixtures for the rest of the season - what has changed? as for yesterday lets not forget they ran Chelsea close in midweek it was bound to take its toll - although if we had got and scored the penalty we would have got a second wind and who knows what would have happened KTF
Put some work on this thread Bri now go find that better job, ha ha. I'm kidding mate, I understand hard times.
We've dropped 15 points of the top teams at home and now they're out the way Palace, played one top team at home and lost. (and got beat by fulham) Fulham have lost all their home games against the top teams so far West ham have lost their's so far and lost to multiple rivals Cardiff beat city as did we. They drew with man u though. West brom have only managed a draw of Arsenal thus far Norwich have only played one top team and lost. Hull have beat liverpool at home, most still to come Stoke have managed to pick 4 points of the top teams but are losing their home bankers. Our point haul against the top teams is actually quite typical for team in the scrap. But by no means worse. Our league rivals ain't exactly picking up bags of points against these teams.

Got a lot of time on my hands. Wish I could work at home but I ain't qualified for ****. Hopefully I'll be looking for work next year but I can't do anything which involves operating machinery.
Hull's home fixtures are scary. If we had their run in with our present points tally I'd be throwing in the towel. Game on mate.
Thanks fella. I'm just trying to balance it all out with a bit of optimism, we can't pretend we're not in the ****. We should have been gunning for a mid table finish this season but now we need a near perfect home record from now just to stay up. But with the fixtures it's going to be a case of us gaining ground while the others are looking over their shoulder at us while trying to grind out 3 points out of the Chelsea's and Arsenal's. Once we're relying on away from as well, then my arse will go.
It is by far from being a lost cause yet...I stilll believe we can finish well out of the drop zone...All we need is for refs to balance out all the crap decisions against us and we may still qualify for Europe..
