Dokko Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Imagine if we signed him, he'd probably get a season long injury on his debut. On a free who cares. It would be worth the wages for a season or two just to tarnish his time there. If you listened carefully you'd hear the fizzing and eventual popping of heads across the river as they tried to deal with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Defoe said: "Obviously you have to be realistic and to get into any squad it is based on merit and you need to be playing at the top level. "When I went to Toronto (in MLS in early 2014) I missed out on going to the World Cup and it was a hard call to take. I would say I probably need to be playing in the Premier League but we will see what happens. "The boys I'm competing against are playing in the Premier League and playing in Europe and probably that's why I missed out on the last World Cup. You probably need to be playing in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we did, maybe it could be something like this.... Some illegible jordeen naschun drivel "lalas yerss divvent undastaand man rafa man massive club man" Some illegible jordeen naschun drivel jordeen naschun Thick c*nts.

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Fitting that they're heading for a Prexit Triggering Article 5 (Wins All Season) as we speak, marra. If there was going to be banners made or planes flown (which i hope there are not) a simple #PREXIT would be fucking incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Why on earth would anyone want to fly a plane over there because they'd been relegated? It's something smaller clubs with an inferiority complex would do if a big club or their bigger local rivals went down but hardly something anyone would do because Sunderland finally get what is years overdue. Getting what they deserve for the way they're behaved for the last few years and knowing their financial predicament probably means the downward slide will continue should be quite sufficient without resorting to childish pranks.

Beren Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm going to take a piece of that 9/1 if Defoe comes out unscathed from the international break. I'm sure they've been in similarly precarious situations in the last few seasons and scraped by - Hull, Boro and Swansea don't have a goalscorer like Defoe, nor their spawny luck/resolve come the business end of a turgid season. One weekend's worth of fixtures can dramatically change the landscape of the relegation battle, and while I realise that swings both ways, I just don't trust them to flush anymore. Plus they've a game in hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Certainly worth £5 at 9/1 to survive. The way the fixtures have been rearranged means they now have 5 very winnable fixtures (3 against fellow relegation candidates) before their last two games of the season which are Arsenal and Chelsea. If it wasn't for the Man Utd game in between them then they would have 7 winnable games in succession (Watford who are pretty much on the beach already, and Leicester). Considering Sunderland's past record of pulling something out of their arse to survive I'm baffled as to how anyone can look at the situation and say they are certainly going down.
