As if we gave them 3 points, they should be propping up the table in December on 5 points :lol:

 

I think its 5 of their next 6 games are against villa, Fulham, Palace, Norwich and West Ham, they need to be winning at least two just to stay within reach IMO.

A win for Wham and either Palace or Fulham and things start to look fap worthy at the bottom.

 

Lose to wham and Cardiff pick up a draw at the weekend and they'll effectively need 8pts, or double their current total to catch up with nearly half the season gone.

 

That's some way to come back from.

Palace and Fulham look like they're up for the fight now. Oh dear.

 

Said at the time pulis was a great appointment for palace. They've gone from certain relegation to a fighting chance of staying up. I still think they'll go down but they'll have the fight and one very experienced manager to keep the fight going. It's not pretty, and it's barely football but pulis can get results from crap players. You couldn't pick a better short term appointment to try and stay in the league.

 

All this now puts pressure on Sunderland. Same with Fulham, they've played their wildcard and also have their new manager bounce. The mackems will be gutted other teams can do this as well, not just them.

 

Been reading a bit of rtg today, seems they are worried Poyet has given up on the players qualities, they aren't listening to him or unable to deal with his passing demands. I'd say there's a little of all of that there. Pulis ironically enough would have kept that squad up with games to spare, Poyet the better long term manager will probably take them down trying to do it the right way.

 

In the end it'll be better for the club should thry come back up, they'll be a decent footballing side for the first time in living memory, but budgets will dictate how far it'll go and like history has shown they'll readily give up their best players to turn a profit and not replace properly, it's something Poyet will have to get used to there if he wants to see out 3 seasons or more (which IMO won't happen either way, good or bad from the man himself)

I'm aware this is some sort of rumbling argument on here, one I've not paid much attention to, but... I think Altidore is an alright player. Holds the ball up OK, has a bit of pace. By no means a very good player but I think useful enough for Sunderland.

 

Careful now

Down with this sort of thing?

 

Anyway, they really look total shite, whereas clogger Pulis is taking an even worse side away from 20th, which is where most people thought Palace would finish.

I couldn't give two shits about them, hope they have a major meltdown and fuck off into obscurity but I'll be mighty pissed off if we don't put them to the sword at home when it will be our last chance to exact some revenge for some time. You know even as they're getting flushed down the leagues they'd still be banging on about NETD.

Me too, but we think that every time of late, and royally fuck it up.

 

How a team that beats Chelsea, Spurs and Manure can fail to get a point against that wank I cant work out. Same said for Man City, 7 and 6 goals either side of not being able to score against the worst defence in the league.

 

I hope they are fucking miles bottom when they come to SJP and have gave up before it kicks off.

Nah, the "class" thing will be used.
