I think Leeds away is the perfect game for them. Up against the only team who have been worse than they have since Xmas and away from that deserted, soulless stadium which seems to bring out the worst in them. 3/1 for a Mackem win is a very fair price.

 

Why don't you just chuck £50 or something on them to stay up at 9/1 and pocket £500 if the worst happens, because that's surely the end goal, rather than betting on them to win most weeks?

I see your point and I already have my saver bet in place should they stay up but I actually fancy them tomorrow. They always seem to play better away and Leeds are playing even worse than they are since they appointed that new manager who is clearly way out of his depth. 3/1 Is a very generous price and there's actually more money going on a Sunderland win than there is Leeds so those odds are shortening.

SAFC would like to take this opportunity to clarify the circumstances behind the movement of the Fulham game by the Football League (EFL) and Sky.

 

Firstly, we wholeheartedly sympathise with the issues the late change to this game has caused our supporters. Under normal circumstances, the EFL states that at a minimum five-week notice period must be given when games are selected for live broadcast. However, it was the view of the EFL and the Sky that given the significance of the matches taking place on the penultimate weekend, it would not be in the interests of the competition to broadcast matches that have no impact on the outstanding issues of the season. They therefore amended their policy from a five-week to a three-week notice period for the TV slots scheduled for 7.45pm on Friday 27 April or 5.30pm on Saturday 28 April.

 

The EFL announced the change in the notice period on March 29th and the club then advised fans that the Fulham game could be subject to change. Sunderland AFC was then informed by the EFL on the afternoon of Wednesday (April 4th) that the game had been selected for broadcast and the information was subsequently confirmed to supporters at 5pm, as instructed by the EFL.

 

Naturally we voiced concerns on how a change would impact on travel, but regrettably we could not refuse the re-scheduling in this particular instance, which is clarified in the EFL’s statement

still think they can scrape it against those teams. All of them are the sort of teams that might already be thinking of their holidays.

 

That Fulham one would still be important as Fulham will want to finish at least 3rd if not 2nd by that time. Wolves will already be Champions when they play these lot and would have already the trophy the week before so they might send a bunch of kids out to play.

I see Blackpool have a group of investors with ambitions to get into the Premier League in 3-5 years. With clubs like Charlton in there too they might potentially get stuck for a couple of years yet.

Bolton, Hull & Reading being dragged into it by Barnsley. Last thing Sunderland need is someone like Birmingham, Bolton, Hull or Reading dropping with them.

Barnsley winning is ok but it's all about Birmingham, Reading and Bolton really.

 

 

barnsley winning is a perfect kick up the arse for those three, expect brum, and bolton to win today.

The Villa & Cardiff results this weekend also mean that Fulham could still be in the hunt for an automatic promotion spot by the time Sunderland go there, rather than saving players for the Play-Offs.
