I think we'd do a little better than alright to be honest, I think we will run it close now anyway and that is more than I though 8 weeks ago.
Deffo playing better, BUT still think we are doomed!!!! This will be confirmed when we are still bottom at Xmas. Really hope I am wrong, but if the spuds beat us the pressure may be unsurmountable!!! Bart
I just wish wed appointed Poyet when we brought Di Canio in. we've gotta win the home games against all the bottom half teams we still have to come
Its going to be close a lot depends on the teams around us. Palace, Norwich and Fulham are worse than us and someone always drops like a stone from mid table (west ham????). Then you have the likes of Cardiff, Hull and Stoke who are not better than us. Results against those sides will be so important.
I'm sure there was something about this - I'll try to find it but from memory it said something along the lines of: Short wanted Poyet when he employed Di Canio but couldn't get him down to an agreement between Brighton and Poyet whilst the court case was on - something along the lines of that he couldn't manage another club last season. Had he been here from then, I honestly think we'd be OK. I don't think we'd be anywhere near the bottom of the league. If we do go down, I hope we stick with him. Can anyone remember the team being booed off at the SoL this season? They've been applauded from the pitch in every game. and we've only won 2 of them!!
SUNDERLAND have been linked with a move for Coventry defender Cyrus Christie. The Sky Blues academy product is in talks over a new contract at the Ricoh Arena. But Sunderland, along with Championship side Bolton, have both been credited with an interest in the right-back. Huddersfield saw a summer offer rejected for Christie, while Spurs were linked with the 21-year-old earlier in the season.
Yeah I looked at that and thought, "Hmmm, perhaps this poster is a really thick person." I may be wrong, of course, but there's quite a possibility.
Yeh we still have a very good chance of staying up.if we keep the good performances up against the lower league teams we will be ok.we have missed out on a few points against the lower teams but I still feel we will be ok.it won't be easy just hang on in
The way things are going it could be a season where a record - low points total keeps a team up. 31? 32? Definitely manageable. x
Thank god the players don't think like him or it would be a record low points total on the cards. Bri
I'm a bit worried we could go 5pts adrift at the weekend. Palace and Fulham have easy looking home games and we have a top 6 contender. Although I'd consider a home loss to spurs a poor result, it's entirely possible. Very very big game this
