I'd be appalled and would boo Sunderland if there was any sign of it on the pitch. Crystal Palace didn't have to run themselves ragged against Liverpool but they safeguarded the integrity of the competition. Besides West Brom have no need to enter into a snide 'arrangement' as they're safe. I'd be disgusted if a tame 0-0 was played out, thankfully there's no chance of it happening. Apart from anything else I'm forking out a fair whack and travelling a long way to see us win fairly.
I hope we win ... obviously just don't want to lose - hope the pressure will not get to team tomorrow with a full house lots expectation etc
The players couldn't have been under more pressure than the last 4 games and each one was in front of a full house. If anything the pressure's off now to a large degree. Poyet will change the game at some point if it's needed. I'm sure the players know that they have the crowd on their side and will win the game.
Id take a 0-0 draw with no shots at goal right now. Don't care how bad the performances are as long as we get 1 more point I'm happy.. It's all well and good expecting a victory, but a loss puts us in the ****, so I'd take a 0-0 draw all day long.
Gus Poyet: 'Sunderland will play to win' http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...poyet-sunderland-will-play-to-win_153758.html "The idea is not to play or start the game with a draw in our heads, not at all. We will go for the win first."
Stab, twist, kill, die, die, die! I want us to absolutely ****ing knack em. Of course a draw will do but I want our inform team to be ruthless and clinical.
"It's all well and good expecting a victory, but a loss puts us in the ****" It just reads a bit weird to me, no big deal.
...I keep replaying in my mind Chelsea hitting the woodwork twice on Sunday and therefore so close to safety at the weekend. Let's just get the job done ourselves..
West Brom have no incentive to play out a tame draw, and I wouldn't want us to go all defensive and try and play for the draw either. Go for the win. That said, if West Brom had needed a point for safety too, and the game happened to end 0-0, I wouldn't be too unhappy.
If our club did that, I'd never watch football again, and I ****ing mean that. If we draw then obviously I'd be happy to stay up but not by cheating, I'd hang my head in shame.
