Have heard a theory that they are merely keeping their powder dry in the hope that their playoff opponents forget what they're like when they're trying. I'm not convinced

Whatever happens this season, they'll still never be doubled in the league. That in itself is pretty important if you think about it.

The most important thing marra. Let’s not be worried about titles, European competitions and domestic cups when not getting beat twice by the same team is the high watermark and ultimate sign of an elite team.

Has any team ever gone into the playoffs with as little momentum?

They've completely lost it on rtg. Everyone being attacked. Players, fans, owners, manager and each other. 

 

Seems like Rigg has being exposed to their famous 'support', same as Watson earlier in the month, with a flair up as he walked to the tunnel and then a dust up in the stands.

 

4th not good enough. Booing all round. Boring & timid manager. Weak minded players who should be soldier and give it 100% in every situation. 

 

Big gamble by le piss, easing off going into the playoffs after securing their spot, but don't think he had much option. Team was and still is mentally and physically drained, probably to do with a lot of youth players in the squad holding key positions. Question is whether the rest has worked. Or now they are in a rut. Big issue for them is not many have dealt with playoffs or promotions finals, especially at this level. Most expensive final in world football. There's a lot on it. 

 

Promotion is a death sentence to their pretence that they can compete in the PL and that thry belong. I think this is the main worry for them. Be a lot of players and fans secretly not wanting this, including the owner as he'll need to spend, even if he's planning to sell or just cash in, some level of investment will be needed. Players will demand new contracts with release clauses, the manager wont see the season out, and the fans are going to be irate getting bumped every week. If they miss out on promotion, they can have a rant, blame each other, then go again next season where they can carry on the delusion they belong in the top league, and I think that suits them best.

The gulf is huge one minute, the bulk of the PL is championship standard the next.

Who's booing what in that video? Looks like when we were narrowly defeated at Anfield a couple of years ago?

Sunderland fans turning on their manager and players? Surely not? Only mags do that.

Nobody seems to have any momentum going into the play offs so I wouldn’t rule them out completely.

Yeah and the thing is well, all it will take is for them to win their last game on Saturday say 3 nil and all of a sudden they're bouncing into the play offs and the last few weeks are forgotten as they're 4th still anyway.

 

I think they will win the play offs, everytime they're on Sky they seem to always be the better team when I watch them, wouldn't trust any of the teams in there to beat them.
