What the fuck has he said to them at half time? This is fucking dreadful.

This is it. Shit or bust. Lets have 100% from all concerned.

Now he'd get kicked to fuck every match.

His stupid mistakes wouldn't be punished as often as they are at the minute and he'd do ok. He's still not great but you need players like Taylor at the back to kick you out of the division.

Fucking hope not. Heard it from a few people actually. Probably shite like.

No, you should never bite. No matter how desperate they are to coax a bite out of you...

Coppell.

If we go down it won't really register til the fixtures come out for next season. Determined to still enjoy the games next year, come what may.

Just got a feeling there's one more twist to come in this abortion of a season. Draw keeping us up.

Offers virtually nothing anymore.

He has the motivation as he must realise it's his best chance of getting a decent move. A goal which saves a season is worth 10x your every day goal. Throw in Viduka too then tbh. They are both very much in the shop window and a vital goal could be worth millions to them personally. Coming to something when we're relying on our players to play well purely to earn themselves a move away from the club though.

The game is made for Owen to get a brace. Farewell appearance sealed with te 2 goals that saves us. Just got to hope the spineless little wanker gives a shit.

Very wise words from Bob Moncur. Sums up my feelings 100% “The mood in the city is nail-biting. Everyone was devastated by the home defeat to Fulham. I could tell in people’s voices that they were thinking, ‘I can’t believe this is happening.’ “I’ve seen it before, but there’s a generation who haven’t. I know what happens. No one is going to die. They might want to hang themselves, but after a couple of weeks they’ll look to next season.” We'll be fine. Keep believing.

FACKING DISGRACE.

PATHETIC. mackems.gif

Sensible thing is to keep it as tight as possible for as long as possible and go for the win if we need to. Not sure we're capable of doing the above but that's why we're in this fucking mess in the first place.

Assuming Boro are down - leaves 27 combinations of results from us, Hull and the shite. 11 of those combinations keeps us up. Yes, I'm nervous. Yes, I'm boring.

7 now. Still in it up to our necks but any result gives us a chance. Win the game and we're safe.

Sunderland can draw against Chelsea and if we win we can go above them.

This will give our lads a lift though and will put loads of pressure on the mackems. momemtum is important. Absolutely. Tonight, if it stays like this, gives us 2 clubs to chase. If Hull won then we were down even if we won ourselves. Now we can catch Sunderland with a win - provided Chelsea do the business. Staying up is just a little bit more likely than it was 2 hours ago. Our lads have been unable to respond to each and every one of the opportunities given to them over the last 3/4 weeks (bar boro) Aye I know. Just one game though. Just win one game of football on Sunday.

Whatever happens down there tonight we still need a result on Sunday.

And lets be honest, Sunderland are goinig to milk this for all their worth. We have taken then piss out of them for so many years now, they arent going to miss out on an opportunity to give some back. Like you say, its the way it is. We give it out so we have to take it too. I've seen Sunderland go down 5 times now including their relegation to the Third and I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one. The boot is on the other foot now so I'm prepared for quite a bit of stick. Who knows, we might just pass them on the way up next year?

They'll struggle as they won't have that surprise element they had this season. They're a poor football side but they're reasonably effective and if they go down, they'll fight all they way. I wish our lot had the bollocks they've got.

I know they haven't. Their absence is obvious. I wouldn't be "fishing" if I wasn't so pissed off at everything. So why ask them their opinions now then. Seems like a(nother) point-scoring exercise to me.
