Neil Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 But that's the point, dude. They've not beaten a single team around them this year. Why is that about to change? Granted, they've had some hard home games so purely by the law of averages they'll eventually win a couple. But to win the amount they need to win, I can't see it, especially given there is absolutely no sign of them picking up a few wins away from home - their one win being a gift against 10 men, and even then they were second best for much of the game. I think part of the mentality here might be that people just assume Sunderland won't go down as it's too good to be true for a Newcastle fan. Really, they're total turd and need a massive turnaround to accrue the points they'll need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 well, the fact they have 10 teams "around them" (or lower echelons of the league) to play at home where they are much stronger suggests that the fixtures weren't stacked in their favour as IP has stated and they've failed to beat a lot of these teams away from home depends how you look at it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Think a lot depends on who cardiff's new manager is and how long Fat Sam is at West Ham. Those two getting a bit of a lift could be too much for the mackems to keep up with. Fulham are doomed but Pulis might just keep palace up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 1.16 points per game or so I read? They have 1.083 points per game since he came in. Most damning of all is that in none of the 3 games that they won, where he acquired three quarters of his points, have they looked convincing or outplayed the opposition. They are a truly woeful team but may not go down, as many have alluded to on here, them being the stinking turd of the Premiership which just won't flush away.

Cajun Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 very few teams escape by being quality to be fair, not sure that beating teams higher up the table should be seen as such a bad thing vs. the usual route of winning 6 pointers and such i think they'll stay up...IP has listed 10 home games they might reasonably expect to win, i reckon they'll win about half of them and take some points away from home to scrape might depend who they sign/sell of course They have won 3 in 19 this season, I know you are talking about some of the lower league sides but all are still above Sunderland. It would be a massive ask imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 In my opinion they'll either stay up or go down. The points margin will be somewhere around 0-50 points and they'll play betweeen 10 and 50 league games, the majority of which will be played on a green or near green surface and involve a ball or other existing object of some kind. Said object will probably be composed of matter and will possibly not be a sherry trifle. All imo of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
