These 2 games define the season. Win them both and that's almost job done, lose them both and I can't see any way back. I think the players heads would be gone. 4 points is an absolute minimum as we can't be gifting either these or Hudds 3 points at this stage of the season. Win this one and the next one becomes easier. Lose it and the pressure on the Huddersfield match will be immense.

I've got a 20 on them at 3/1. All about saver bets at this stage of the season. Had 20 on Palace last night at 13/2 as well and thanks to Bet365 paying out when your team goes 2 goals up I won my bet and got the result on the pitch I was after as well!

These 2 home games will shape the season. Two wins and we're on 35 points and almost there. Losing them both would almost certainly see us in the relegation zone and I don't think we'd recover from that. 4 points is an absolute minimum because we don't want to be giving either Southampton or Huddersfield 3 points.

And I bet there's not many takers! 3-0 loss.

Who's offering this? I'm going to stick a tenner on that as an absolute worst case scenario saver bet. Skybet. 4/1 them, 5/1 us, double bet 29s. Cheers.

It's because of Ashleys transfer policy that we ended up signing an injured player on deadli.....ah f*ck it, I can't be bothered.

Atmosphere is dead. You can just tell that this means nothing to both sets of fans.

Probably a steady League One type player.

Hayden, Atsu, and Manquillo shouldn't be anywhere near a Premier League football pitch. Honestly can't understand why Rafa brought any of them on. We were playing well and looking the most likely to score another before the negative substitutions.

Subs cost us the game. Feels like a loss but would have taken 4 points from last 2 games if offered beforehand.

Same team as last time out then.

I disagree They have a very good academy which would in my opinion do very well playing in league one. You just have to look at Armstrong in league one with Coventry and now Blackburn especially when their u18s regularly stuff ours. Their Academy side hardly tore the Checkatrade Trophy apart against league One and Two sides.

1-0 loss. Goalkeeping error from Dubravka costing us the goal. It's what happens to us.

I dunno man, the quality of L1 is beyond dreadful, just look at how the teams at the top struggled so badly in the champo last year. Wigan, Blackburn and Rotherham. I would expect them to bounce straight back up next year if they drop this year. It's a pub league in all but name. Same as the league we won last year. Well that's what the Mackems said it was anyway.....

It isn't. I posted something about that on here last year. My cousin who worked in the Commercial department at SAFC at the time told me that. The genius of it is you don't even need to then get those people through the turnstiles. The very act of handing out the tickets, even if they go straight in the bin, means you just add them on to the attendance. I think this year they're probably doing just that - Not giving them out to punters so they don't lose revenue, but at the same time leaving a pile of 9,000 of them in a box somewhere that is accessible but nobody will ever find, and then claiming that as those tickets are potentially in circulation then they can just whack that number onto their "crowd" for the day. Surely with the current state of their finances they would be looking to reduce the official attendance figures They would pay less tax on a 20,000 crowd than 25,000 due to the reduced turnover I'm led to believe that HMRC are only interested in the actual receipts and not the crowd figure.

That's just killed me, as if the football isn't enough Tbf the odds are heavily stacked in the favour of it landing on an empty seat.

Great isn't it!

We do something and they've always got to follow despite all their protestations abouts banners and protests being cringey and "a Mag thing to do". As has been mentioned the big problem they have is that a crowd surfer requires a crowd above all else so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. If the club gets wind of it they might withdraw the under 16s for £1 offer and 4 adult tickets for £15 deals they're currently running, which will decimate their pitiful crowds further and will make a difficult situation regarding having enough supporters to hold up a large surfer flag, almost impossible.

Honestly cant fathom what hasn't arrived, I could sit and do 40 security passes in a couple of hours right now for my place, Sounds like bullshit. These so called security passes will no doubt be the same passes they issue to people doing the stadium tours 3 times a day, 7 days a week. Ashley didn't want to risk any form of protest against him to be seen by a Worldwide audience live on TV. That's the top and bottom of it.

They weren't vocal at all yesterday and quite a lot of them disappeared well before the end.

Haha fair enough then.

You are such a cabbage. Absolute shithouse of the highest order. Proper bellpiece. Hahaha imagine being a Newcastle fan and getting so wound up about somebody having a pop at Sunderland What a shithouse. A bellpiece even
