nufcjb Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Absolute lucky bastards. One wonder goal and they're back in. Would be delicious if they somehow still don't make it eventhough it seems inevitable right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Happy they've kept my bet alive. It's not in their hands though, which it needs to be. I can't see Millwall & Cov slipping up and another team which isn't Sunderland not being able to take advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Not being a dick about this but... bring them on! Get them up, scrape up through the play-offs then Luke O'Nien, Jason Thompson, Jack Reilly and Frankland Goalkeeper can front up against our lot. The absolute 20 minute fisting before we even start will be worth it. I know the name of one SAFC player *shrug emoji* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this dense fucker is actually running a forum about professional football and this is his take? Hi Keith S30s. Just a quick memo...You're thick as shit and have a fundamental lack of knowledge when it comes to the upper tiers of English football. Probably because it hasn't been part of your life for about a decade. Also if your friend 'Bear' is around, tell him to go fist himself. Hope this helps.

Just spoke to my dad (Sunderland fan) and he says “it’s been a good season, I thought we’d be fighting relegation and there’s never been a threat of that” so he’s accepted their seasons over.

They will be looking at the situation thinking it's now out of our hands, we could win 7-0 on the final day and still not make the playoffs, whereas many of us will be thinking if they can beat out of form Preston it only takes a Coventry loss, or the Balckburn-Millwall result to go their way and they will be in. They would have been almost certainly out without that late equaliser, very little margin for error - they couldn't have caught Coventry, would have had to beat Preston, hope that Blackburn lost to Luton on Monday, and then beat Millwall, those exact results, but the current situation, while worse than what it was at 3pm, hence their disappointment, it is far better than what it would have been without that goal, hence our disappointment They are 7/2 to make the playoffs, so obviously no longer favourites, but not massive outsiders either, and their season certainly isn't over (they would have been like 28/1 to make the playoffs without the goal). If they beat Preston there will be a decent chance they will still sneak in. Edited April 29, 2023 by Paullow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) That point probably gets them the play-offs, bastards. Obviously they'll beat Preston, which then needs Coventry to win at Boro and a Millwall win. Twats. Edited April 29, 2023 by Ketsbaia E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I think they need Blackburn to get beat off luton and then beat Coventry. Coventry are playing really well recently and Blackburns form has dropped right off recently - I can’t see it and think it’s coventries now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 They’re in their “hope” phase of the inevitable collapse arc they always revert to. Expect them to miss out on the playoffs on goal difference or lose the playoff final in agonizing fashion. It’s the Mackem way! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millwall are on 68 points, Blackburn are on 65 points (with a game in hand), and Sunderland on 66. Sunderland have the clear better goal difference of the 3, so they don't want either of those to get more than 69 - if Bburn don't beat Luton then they are largely irrelevant (from Sunderlands POV), but they will probably want Bburn to at least draw with Luton to give themselves more to play for, and then hope they draw with Millwall on the final day, or Coventry lose to Boro, and they will pass Coventry on GD or goals scored. They need to beat Preston, nothing else will do, and then hope either (two chances) Coventry lose to Boro, or they get the result they want in the Millwall-Blackburn match. 7/2 so no longer favourites, but not massive outsiders either.

Stuy_O Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Ideally you want Blackburn beating Luton which puts them on 68. Then them and Millwall not drawing meaning one can’t be caught. Then hope if Sunderland win they don’t climb above Coventry on goals assuming they lose to Boro. So hopefully a Blackburn win on Monday, but they’re not exactly flying.
