Ketsbaia Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Big question is - with a full summer and full season there, can Allardyce take them to mid-table? I can see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hate them with a passion but fair play they always pull something out of the bag. They've got a manager who knows how to scrap points with shit players. I knew he'd never take them down. He's too good at what he does. Defoe, too. Proven quality at PL level. People might want to remember that next time we're linked to someone who's scored 1 in 2 against Sunday League footballers in some tinpot European league and the place goes apeshit.

Superior Acuña Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 ^Agree Defoe's the real difference. Allardyce will make them a miserable midtable team, but without someone like Defoe he wouldn't have turned them around quick enough to stay up. The difference between being willing to pay the wages of a proven, if past his best, PL striker and chancing it on youngsters with little experience has relegated us and kept them up.

Guest neesy111 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 They are down next season as they won't get their customary 4/6 points off us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Well done to them for staying up but it should always be remembered that they knowingly played a paedophile in order to do so. As has been said they won't get their customary points off us next season so they'll need to find those extra wins elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Defoe's the real difference.

The difference between being willing to pay the wages of a proven, if past his best, PL striker and chancing it on youngsters with little experience has relegated us and kept them up. This, basically. Defoe was the key ingredient that made the difference between the two teams. They identified someone who can score in this league for fun. While we bought and stuck with a kid and two grandfathers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Woah - this is actually Defoe's second best (PL) season. 15 goals, only bettered by 18 in 2009-10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Everyone does know they still have to beat Everton right ? If they lose/draw we have a chance at least. It's gone now. And they can afford to lose to Everton and still stay up since they have Watford. An even a draw then and even if we beat Spurs, they'll still stay up. It's gone.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/35944980 Get Involved Text 81111 A few years ago everyone laughed at Big Sam for saying he'd win the title every year at a club like Madrid or Inter. Well it's clear to me that he's a much better manager than Rafa who failed miserably at both those clubs, and is failing to keep Newcastle up this season. You'd run through a brick wall if Allardyce told you to and it's about time he got a chance at a big club. Simon, York Yes because 10 games in charge is the same as most of the season isn't it? Not getting relegated is the same as winning the Champions League too apparently. I hope Allardyce bores the Sunderland fans to death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
