afar Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Don't understand why people still think it's in our hands. It's quite clearly not, we still need a hell of a lot of luck and a performance from our boys on the last day, two elements that have been missing all season, I doubt very much it will change on Sunday. The best we can hope for I think is a draw at Villa, although Villa have been in awful form of late, we've hardly been pulling up trees ourselves and never threatened to beat anyone away from home since we went to WBA. I can't believe Hull won't get a result against Manure, so for me I can't believe we are anything other than a 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see both Man U and Chelsea losing on Sunday, regardless of how bothered they may or may not be. A win on Sunday will take us above the Mackems and Hull unless they can match that with a win of their own. I think we're going down though, we'll give a committed performance on Sunday and put Villa under plenty of pressure but get caught on the break.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Assuming Boro are down - leaves 27 combinations of results from us, Hull and the shite. 11 of those combinations keeps us up. Yes, I'm nervous. Yes, I'm boring. Those kids are right like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt we'll huff and puff and throw players forward but will we score goals, and will we have a defence that can cope with them hitting us on the counter? Well we might have done if Beye and Bassong were available. I'm pinning my hopes now on them being even worse in front of goal than us. We might snatch a draw and hopefully Hull will lose to Man U.

You might not be able to see it, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. FFS we could beat villa 9-0 and still quite easily get relegated. Fact is it's not in our own hands, we are praying that Chelsea and/or Manure do us a favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 By the way, this is the team that beat Aston Villa 2 - 0 at St. James'. Given Beye Coloccini Taylor Jose Enrique Gutierrez Barton Butt Duff Martins Ameobi Subs Cacapa for Martins (88) Owen for Ameobi (90) You might not be able to see it, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. FFS we could beat villa 9-0 and still quite easily get relegated. Fact is it's not in our own hands, we are praying that Chelsea and/or Manure do us a favour.

Mistle17 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Just think about our season so far. Think about all the shite and turmoil thats swamped our club and the sad excuse of a playing squad we have.

I think this as well, it's been a weird season - nobody outside the top 3 has been consistently good this year, even Chelsea have had dodgy periods.

Hull and Sunderland both beating Manure and Chelsea on the same day is hardly something that could easily happen, its possible, just about. Its far more likely that one or both will drop points.

Nearly every game has gone for us in the last few weeks (except our own), that's the main reason we aren't relegated already. If anything, I reckon we're fated to stay up based on other results.

We shouldn't be tbh, we've just been stupidly lucky with other results. I mean we could possibly survive with 35 points. What was the cut off last year anyone?

Not really bothered, we would still be shitting it on the final day. Of course in a better position, but if we lose we lose and could still go down.
