Benwell Lad Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Sunderland's next game is absolutely massive and not just because its a very winnable game. Because only two teams in Sunderland's current position (9 points after 16 games) have survived and on both occasions they won their 17th game. Norwich aren't a great side but they look more potent than the macums. I've seen them quoted at 3/1 which looks quite generous against a team with 9 points from 16 games and the leagues worst goal difference ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Bristow is a fat, ginger mackem. Apparently. Mackem mate met him travelling away recently. Apparently he said "are any of you lot sad enough to post on RTG?" to which they all replied "No" and he told them who he was on there. Will find out if this is true.

The good thing for Norwich is that Hooper appears to have found shooting boots and that will keep their heads above water. Would be nice if they could beat Mackems next week but then the dilemma - happy to lose against Crystal Palace? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, maybe not lose to them as a choice, if it happens and Mackems lose it would be a softer blow - although it would cause issues with us staying in that pack at the top.

Teasy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 If we did lose then Sunderland also losing may soften the blow slightly, but only slightly. I definitely don't want anything but a win vs Palace no matter what it means for Sunderland. Anyway if they lose to Norwich they're relegated no matter what else happens.

Benwell Lad Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Did they really get outplayed and outfought, at home, by that current Tottenham side, in a game many classed as "must win" ? Says a lot about their players and chances of surviving iyam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 something still tells me they'll stay up tbh, they seem to be having a right fucking go at home which a lot of relegated teams can't muster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Must be knocking on 48 hours since they had a thread about why their attendances are lower than ours - so guess what - they've started another one. Yes I know, it's not really worthy of mention given how many they start but this one is the most excuse and cliché riddled yet It points out that our support is much higher than theirs, BUT our support is actually shite because it should be much higher and theirs is fantastic because it should be much lower. Main reasons for our attendances being much higher............ err.... the position of the coast line and the river, and we have a public transport system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Pro rata (in terms of catchments area, etc.) we beat them hands down IMO. Ours is much smaller and split as you say, whereas they have the likes of Whitley Bay, North Shields, Hexham, etc to pull from as well as all the other areas. It would be interesting to see across every person in the NE who they support and from them which percentage actually attend games. We'd have a far higher percentage I'm sure. http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/dafuq-did-i-just-read-240x180.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
