Chris_R Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yet some stay up. They're favourites to go down, sure. But Sunderland are far from finished. Sadly. Last thing we should do is write them off then have to watch them "gloat" in May that they stayed up, just be happy they're shit, and see what comes of it. And if they do go down, marvellous.

Since the 2008/09 season no team with the same points as them at this stage have stayed up. I haven't bothered checking further back but I would imagine the chances would be slim.

The crux of the matter is they're shit, however there are 4 or 5 other teams who are playing equally as shit, and another 3 or 4 who you may not immediately expect to be in big danger but could easily get sucked in.

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 RTG seem to think that result was good… A result that takes them bottom. They have thier eyes further up the league than that tho. hahahahahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 That Stan thing is quality. I mean, mental, but very good on the whole. Didn't want to read it but it was very good Sums it up for me too - it's a goddamned wall of text, but very much worth reading. Super effort And a big to the people who raved about it, because otherwise I was all like "tl;dr" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I love RTG talking about their January fixtures as a winnable set. Wouldn't think they were bottom Their stubborn defiance is so funny. They're like the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppe Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Since Europa League just makes us tired () maybe we should throw some games to the teams around them, to make sure they go down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 2 X 10 pound tickets per season ticket holder for Chelsea tonight plus the usual foisting of free tickets on schools and colleges. Free tickets falling out of the sky like autumn leaves for the Southampton game. They are putting themselves in direct competition with the Northern League for supporters. Scabby dogs. Apart from holding the title for most empty seats in the PL they must have just about the lowest gate receipts too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Must admit I never really see it as a bad thing to give away tickets. How many fans you have is an accident of geography plus glory hunters based on on-pitch success. I never really saw how it reflects on the club at all.

Ticket schemes can be clever marketing and free tickets to worthy causes commendable, but they just smack of desperation, almost appearing to try and foist tickets on often unwilling recipients.

Toonpack Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 what a terrible article. Aye and there's a miss-spelling in his twitter name: "If you follow me on Twitter (@MoranGShore)" There's an "a" where there should be another "o" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 The free ticket idea as a one off isn't a bad idea, it's when it's done on a weekly basis or a number of times a season that the club ends up losing out. If it's a one off and then those who had free entry decide to start and purchase tickets thats fine but the fact they do it so regularly shows it's not working.
