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...
Mick Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Merson thinks we'll beat Villa and finish on 39 points. 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. Not sure I agree with that, I was sure he was taking us down. Not a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree with that, I was sure he was taking us down. Not a chance. Are we thinking of the same season? The one in which he deployed Cacapa as a deep lying midfielder? Anyway, thread hijack. 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...
loki679 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 9. Can see Sunderland beating Chelsea and picking up a few more points and us getting a draw at Villa. 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...

Guest Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It's pretty easy to say the other two have 'only' got Everton & Watford etc, but both of those teams are far better than Sunderland & Norwich. If results go to how we've all performed over the season, we stay up. Sunderland have been the 4th worst away team in the country and the 3rd worst home team for example. I know our away form is rank but we've got the worst team in the league to come. We're also 10th best at home all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
