Mick Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 We've just taken 2 really tough points from what will probably have been our toughest 2 games out of the last 5, assuming Leicester tie up the league before we play Spurs. We have every right to feel a bit of positivity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think people are just expecting them to spawn survival again like they have the last few seasons. Yes, you'd be laughed out of the building for predicting this before it happened (when they were also in the bottom 3 and garbage).. http://i.imgur.com/XMiY1pa.png Writing them off is as stupid as saying they'll win all of their remaining games now. They've got previous experience and done it before. Not even once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The Mackems are one of the luckiest teams in the league. Always have been and that probably will cost us in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Let's just take it 1 game at a time lads, we have had 3 good results are well and truly in with a chance of staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I didn't watch the second half at all. Checked the result at the end and was surprised and a bit happy. Then looked at the table and saw the mackems with their games in hand, got totally deflated again. Wish all the hope would have been gone by now.

Bimpy474 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sunderland are by far favourites with their fixtures, but they've got to win them first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got previous experience and done it before. Not even once. You might be saying that about us this year when all is said and done. We were as good as buried just over a week ago. We could finish the season going W, D, D, W, W, ? and it seemed kind of unthinkable after Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sunderland favourites to stay up, Norwich are done, hopefully we can avoid joining them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Norwich arent done, they're equally in it. Their manager has kept them in this to an impressive degree. They lost Klose for the last two games, hes a big player for them. Is he still out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Win all our remaining games and we stay up IMO. I cannot see it happening though. The Toon way would be to beat Palace and Spurs at home, but lose heavily to Villa. Rafa's methods and ways are starting to work, but it's too late. He should have been appointed weeks before he actually was. We are down, sadly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just looked at Palace in the table and it's a shame that we could draw level with them by the end of things yet our pathetic GD is our ultimate undoing with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Defoe is the main reason that I don't think we'll do it. I can see us finishing above Norwich, but Sunderland beating Arsenal at home is exactly the sort of thing that happens, Arsenal are renowned for that sort of loss.

The College Dropout Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sunderland are by far favourites with their fixtures, but they've got to win them first. Aye. They've got the points on the board compared to us, games in hand and easier fixtures. They need 7 points from their last 5 games. We need 9 (7 at a minumum) from 3.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I now believe we'll get a decent enough points haul, now I'm more worried about some of the soft-ish fixtures the other teams have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Good battling last few games. 1-0 down to City, and 2-0 away to Liverpool - to get 2 points is more than decent. Sunderland are defo favourites to stay up but at least we've got a chance. At 7.30pm next Sat, if we've beaten Palace, Sunderland have picked up 0-1 points from their 2 games, and Arsenal beat Norwich, then I think we'll have a decent shot. Could do with a Defoe injury (non-serious) that keeps him out of for a month. Howay Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
