Ronaldo Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Boro obviously, they're down, it'll be the last game they win. Either us or Hull or Sunderland for me now like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Definitely Boro tbh; they're down - no coming back for em. You'd think the win against Liverpool would have galvanised them a bit but it didn't. If they win we've still got them at home, so their relationship with us in this division doesn't really change. It's still up to us to beat them and put them to bed. It's between us and Hull for that third spot imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 wat about sunderland? if we somehow manage to pull off a result at stoke they have man u and we'd be level on points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Sunderland are more likely to be relegated than us at the moment, harder run-in, no Shearer-factor and no good players to come back from injury (Bassong, Barton, Guthrie for us). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Us staying up at Sunderland expense would be just about the best thing thats happened this season. Such a sad state of affairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 wat about sunderland? if we somehow manage to pull off a result at stoke they have man u and we'd be level on points With most likely a better goal difference unless both matches are only won by 1 goal.

Yorkie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Couple of Mackems in my circle of mates, who've been lapping up our failures all season long - torture at times. If we stay up and go down it would be one of the happiest moments of my life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 For the fact that I don't believe Boro will stay up win, lose or draw tomorrow, I'd sooner see them close the gap on us rather than Hull go 1 or 3 points further ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Draw. A win for Boro and it might galvanize them. Don't want a Hull win, because with their run-in I can see us (in blind faith) catching them, however a win puts them within spitting distance of safety obviously. Worst case scenario tomorrow: If we lose to Stoke, and Hull beat Boro, Portsmouth beat WBA and the Mackems beat Man Utd we look quite f***ed indeed.

Disco Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Isn't it next week where the whole bottom 8 play against each other more or less. With once again us playing last on the tele. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 We have to pray that 'boro win. If we finish above Hull we stay up; if we finish above 'boro and below Hull either us or the Mackems will be down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 We have to pray that 'boro win. If we finish above Hull we stay up; if we finish above 'boro and below Hull either us or the Mackems will be down. In a nutshell really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish above Hull we stay up; if we finish above 'boro and below Hull either us or the Mackems will be down. In a nutshell really. Yeah, I agree. Hull are the team we have to aim for to get out of the drop zone. Portsmouth, the Mackems, Blackburn and Stoke have got the players to stay up, but Hull really don't.

Neil Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Why do people seem to be thinking Boro are gone, when they're only 2 points behind you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Why do people seem to be thinking Boro are gone, when they're only 2 points behind you? Because people also think that we're gone. Seriously though, can you see Boro winning two games more than everyone else just above them in seven games? Doubtful really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Why do people seem to be thinking Boro are gone, when they're only 2 points behind you? Harder run-in, aren't going to change manager and have two less points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Boro have to win 2 out of 7 just to go 1 point ahead of Sunderland's current points tally. Realistically they have to win 4 just to have a glimmer of hope really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Just noticed as well, they've got a **** GD, so even if they get the points they'll probably still go down on GD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Boro win, we drop down to 19th. Giving that I'm not confident about the Stoke game, I'll take a Hull win but ideally a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Can't believe anyone wants Boro to win. If they do we're second bottom, which just piles even more pressure on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 You'd think so, some people seem to think this will somehow be the last game Boro can possibly win so we'll easily finish above them anyway. In normal circumstances I'd agree that we'll get more points from the remaining games then Boro, but dropping down to second bottom just before playing one of the most difficult teams to beat in the league could ruin our confidence completely IMO. If we cab beat Stoke then great I hope Boro win, but I'm not confident we will and we just can't end today down yet another place! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Boro face a very uphill task, but it astounds me some of the comments here ("Boro are gone" etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
