Decky Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Ok, SO.. If we beat Villa (a) next weekend, and Sunderland lose to Chelsea (h).... Sunderland will HAVE to win or draw against Everton in midweek, or else they're relegated. That's the dream. Our game against Spurs would be irrelevant What about Norwich? What about them? They have a game in hand against Watford like. If they win that it makes the Spurs game pretty relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm still allowing myself to hope but I've always thought the mackems would get out of it, and I still do. They're lucky like that every season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost to 1 win in 19 Palace after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm still allowing myself to hope but I've always thought the mackems would get out of it, and I still do. They're lucky like that every season. Yeah. Not to mention the fact - and I've been saying this for years - that I just can't see Allardyce taking a team down.

Yorkie Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 My money is still on Sunderland, even after this string of really good results. God damn the twats who saw fit to keep McClaren in the job this long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 My only wish is that we could re-do the Norwich game now that Benitez has finally put his imprint on the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm tempted to say that we'd be unlucky to finish on 39 points and still go down, but I think what I really mean is that Rafa would be unlucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be proven either way now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 We of course need to win against Villa which I'm shitting my pants for now. At the same time, need Chelsea to turn it on and try to take out the mackems GD. Even if Defoe didn't get that goal, it was always the same situation for us. Need to keep winning and hope they drop points against Chelsea and their game in hand against Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Watford and Everton winning today was very important - shows they haven't completely given up. We need to remember the mackems are toilet, I'm almost more worried about Norwich now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
last_monetarist Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Still think we need 6 points to be absolutely safe due to our goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Reckon the mackems will pick another 4 points up this season. Hope creeping in. If only we'd drawn at Norwich, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 An 8 for me, Sunderlands luck and their game in hand are just a big stumbling block. Still though we can only take it game by game and so far we are out of the relegation zone by doing just that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
