    Well,fellow SAFC fans,what would you rather have??A couple of points in hand or three extra games to play?We now have a lot of games to play in a short time,but we cannot afford to lose them!We have games in hand with Norwich..which means that a defeat to them would not be a disaster,but we must not lose that game.How do we approach our run-in??What does everyone think??

    Look at your goal difference compared to ours.
    That's got to be worth another point to you compared to us

    Boring b*stards. We are Sunderland. Wouldn't be us if we had points on the board. We need games in hand. These palpitations are part of our seasons traditions.

    Yep - It'd be bopring to sit in 8th or 9th with nothing to play for except throwing a game against the local rivals relegation opponents... But **** me I wish it was boring!

    Or promotion battle!

    But it's definitely points that win prizes, so to speak.

    Would I rather have the certainty of points on the board, or the possibility we might get them?

    Tough one...

    Points on the board every day but the rescheduling could have given us a life line with 3 of our last four games being at home against teams in and around us.


    Cardiff - Home
    Man Utd - Away
    West Brom Home (Wednesday night)
    Swansea - (**** ya pants Sunday)
