Guest ElCid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 These go down they're in major s*** with their debts and with a major cull being required to get wages off the books and very little money to buy the required quality to get back up. There will be no swift return any time soon. What a shame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think Boro will edge past them 1-0 next week, and that'll be the first nail in a coffin that's overdue more than Bruce Forsyth's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 they looked up for it till they went behind. where they are being fucked is that some rivals are hitting form now, they are 3 games from safety with 11 to play if you think they will still get out of it.......6/1 skybet and bet365, it would soften the blow 22/1 for palace, boro & hull to go down. If they replace anyone it's palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think Boro will edge past them 1-0 next week, and that'll be the first nail in a coffin that's overdue more than Bruce Forsyth's. Hasn't their game been postponed due to Boro still being in the FA cup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 You're right either way, to be honest. He was an old man in Bedknobs and Broomsticks 46 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shintonsghost Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think they'll pick up a few wins and make a decent fist of staying up but they're trying to catch teams too far ahead of them and who are likely to continue picking up points to maintain the gap. They're not down yet but it will take a miraculous turnaround in form to get themselves out if it this year. they've done it before, they will have players back, Burnley is a huge game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Mental that they only have 19 points from 27 games but it's really only this week that a gap has opened up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Fleetwood going well in Division 1. Just saying. Division 3 surely? North. Am I missing something with the Fleetwood thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Fleetwood going well in Division 1. Just saying. Division 3 surely? North. Am I missing something with the Fleetwood thing? Sunderland and others laughed that we played against Burton who were a few years ago a non-league team. Fleetwood a few years ago were a non-league team like Burton and are in a promotion place in League 1, meaning as things stand Sunderland would play Fleetwood next season.

Right, got ya Fleetwood's rise has been one to behold, except for last year when they nearly got relegated but survived because Blackpool (local rivals) were just that little bit shitter. Again, I hope this happens, not just because it's karma but because I have a vested interest in Fleetwood beating them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Sunderland have good, winnable games for most of the last 11 games, mind. As shite as they've been, they could still get 5 wins from that and build momentum. However, they don't play next weekend and Swansea play Hull in the meantime. Then Palace at home to Watford.

afar Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Last year we went down on 37 points, they got 39. To get to around that total, they would need 6 wins (for 37 points) and a couple of draws (for 39). That's from 11 games, that would be a huge turnaround in form, maybe one close shave too far for them this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Their next 4 games are Burnley at home Leicester and Watford away then man United at home....can see them.losing 3 of them and by that time they could be 9 adrift of Palace with only 7 games to play I'd be amazed if they stop up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Palace, Leicester and Swansea to keep winning, they do that and it's over. Doesn't matter what Hull and Boro do unless it's against them, looks like all 3 are going down. If they even get a sniff it's in their hands their tails will be up. Hopefully it doesn't happen at all and the walk in to relegation. Think they'll beat Burnley mind.

Disco Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 they must be fucking begging for relegation by now surely They're absolutely fucked financially unless they get taken over if they go down like. Even the staunchest of their window lickers seem to have finally realised this. Could be an absolute carcrash if they go down. Few saleable assets (and Defoe's value will have dwindled massively) 10 first team squad members due to fuck off on a free/loan end Falling gates No TV money to prop them up Manager on a large salary (hard to pay-off) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 This feels like this is it. I've only ever felt less optimistic about our chances once. Poyet was in charge and Connor Wickham somehow turned up for 10 games. We're out and we're fucked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Think they might win 3, at worst 4 more games, just cant see them staying up. They are shite, and other teams around them are now finding a bit of form. Boro also look fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
