et tu brute

I actually think that will have the opposite effect.

Start the same way we did on Sunday on the front foot. That Villa result was probably perfectly timed for the players to refocus on what is required.

Pointless doing any prediction thing as immediately people put negative scores in for us and positive scores for others. We are in a magnificent position and it would take some downturn of form to miss out. Have faith in this team.

Their showing a bit frustration in the Chris Rigg thread I see. Bad lad going to watch the team he supports today

Two to play

The services are the ones who are given the actual attendance. The crowd released to public is tickets sold and in Sunderland's case given away

Hopefully start the game far better than the previous three.

Going to be tough, unfortunately that last kick penalty last week might come back to haunt them. Hopefully not and I still think it's stupid only one team is promoted.

Bigger crowd than the Liverpool derby a few weeks ago at Goodison in the super league

We have two tough games away at Barnsley and Leeds.

The two massive games are spurs at home and Brighton. Mind Brighton's run in is tough, they have Villa, Man City, Man U, Arsenal and us (if I'm right)

Like Forest and Bournemouth

Nope they can stink out the championship for a good few more years

They have Barnsley and Leeds away also so I would say it's going to be tough

You haven't impressed me at all. The football's boring as to watch.

Well Howe isn't too happy about it judging by his comments yesterday

I said about 6 weeks ago that it was a totally wasted loan spell and it's been proven correct. You could tell in his press conference that Howe wasn't impressed

Yeah they have done it already, but won't show until the next accounts.

Owners can put in money when they want to (usually through allocation of shares), but only 90 million can be offset against FFP. It's important for us initially though, as it gives us some leeway whilst we build up our commercial/sponsorship revenue.

Again people seem to be not considering the money put in by the owners, which are not included in these accounts. 90 million of which is allowed to be offset in relation to FFP.

Money put in by the club are not included in these results. I think people should take note of Eales comments, they know exactly what they're doing.

Looks like the bald prick has jumped the gun again when you read the comments from Eales. No surprise there the absolute cunt he is.

They seem to conveniently ignore that the average that season before Ashley give the tickets away was over 46,000. An average that they have onlly improved on (just) twice in the last 60 years or so. Their self acclaimed average of 38,000 this season is the biggest myth going. The huge numbers of gaps within their ground for games is full testament to this. Quite a few of their gates there is not even 30,000 in the ground never mind anywhere near 38,000.
