Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Europe for Sunderland would be as much of a disaster as it would be for us. Neither team has the squad to cope with a European stretch without it affecting the league form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Europe for Sunderland would be as much of a disaster as it would be for us. Neither team has the squad to cope with a European stretch without it affecting the league form. Surey the whole point of league form is to get into Europe? I'd settle for a few injuries and tired performances next year if we got a good run in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'll honestly be gutted if we come 7th. The competition for 4th is an absolute shambles. As long as we're not involved, it's going to be fantastic to watch. I see no reason why you can't take out Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool given the return of Cabaye and Tiote and some luck with injuries (e.g. Obertan getting one). I actually thought Liverpool were looking the best of the four and was perfectly happy with our 0--0 at their place. The next three weeks sees some massive games in the "Race for fourth".

Not when you've won fuck all for 50 years. If we get into Europe and make very little changes to the squad, then we'll be in the bottom half next season imo. Not sure that Cabaye, Tiote etc will want to stay if that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Jesus, just saw the stats for Sunderland v Arse. Sunderland 29% possession, one shot on target, passing success 63% on just 237 passes (Arsenal had 83% on 602). Classy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one game a while back that was so obviously wrong that someone investigated, and the rumour is that their production team kind of guesstimate. I tend to use Sky.
