    It is over. Sunderland need only one more point at home to Everton and away to Norwich with their superior goal difference. They will probably get at least 4.

    They will beat Everton so thats it. It was McClaren - appointing that useless **** killed us. **** manager. If Rafa was given the job in January we wouldn't be in this mess.

    The problem with Rafa, and we had same issue, is that he'll make you solid and hard to beat initially but you'll get too many draws rather than wins. That's great if he has a whole season but in the situation you were in, you would have been better losing a couple an winning a couple rather than drawing them all.

    That's why he was so good in cups.

    They need 2 points. Only 1 ahead of you so if they draw and lose their last 2 then you can still over take them.

    All we can hope is that it's down to the last day. And we beat Spurs.

    Or lose their last 2 games and a draw v Spurs could be enough to keep you up.

    Yeah typed that too quick <laugh>

    Still, can't see them not picking up at least 3 more points regardless of whether we can pull off a miracle against Spurs or not.

    I'm surprised Sky doesn't have the Everton game on in celebration to see Sunderland relegate us. They would love it.

    But the games you mentioned which have relegated were under Benitez!!!
    His record...

    Leicester 0-1
    Bournemouth 1-3
    Sunderland 1-1
    Stoke 0-1
    Palace 1-0
    Liverpool 2-2
    City 1-1
    Swansea 3-0
    Southampton 3-1
    Norwich 2-3
    Villa 0-0
    10 pts from 11 games IS relegation form.
    2 wins from 11 is a **** managerial record.

    Benitez has helped relegate us, whether people realise it or not. If McClaren had got the same results (and he probs has a better win percentage by the way), you'd all be seething. Stop looking at the name and realise he has ****ed us!
