We're missing too many players.

Fulham are fucked and replacing Jol with Vic Reeves and Uncle Fester hasn't made any difference. Still think Palace will go down and it's a toss up between Cardiff, West Ham, Norwich and the Mackems.

I'd never heard of him until his death.

They, (Mackems), have thirteen league games left. Seven are away from home, one of those is Norwich, the rest are, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Man U. They've struggled against teams around them especially at home and their six home games are Hull, Palace, West Ham, Everton, Cardiff and Swansea. I honestly don't think they'll win another game away from home and think it's wouldn't be a stretch to see them only winning three home games. Say a couple of draws as well and that'll put them on 35 points. It could be very close.

Us, Everton and Southampton. Can only think the fourth was West Brom as it was early on and they may have been in the top ten. I still think they're very much in the shit.

Is it true Sunderland have only played 3 of the top ten away from home? If so I certainly wouldn't disregard them going down despite a good couple of results.

I'm DoFinitely not putting money on us tomorrow.

Well, thought I'd start a match thread seeing nobody else has, also thought I'd leave out the 'United' bit in the title to save the bother and to avoid confusion with the real United, sure it's our traditional name but times move on. Anyway, we've a tough game here at 'The Bridge' and when you play a big club you need hard work, skill and hopefully not having Howard Webb reffing the game! (Lol.) We go into this without Remy who despite an appeal by the club had his ban upheld by a committee despite a strenuous and vehement post match backing by Pards saying, "We won't appeal, because I think there was enough for Chris there, but once he done that stupid reaction, the crowd went all mad and he has got no choice really." We will also have Tiote missing, Colo still a doubt as is Gouffran and we will obviously not have Cabaye so it will be a test for our push to cement eighth spot. The injury situation isn't all bad news as it looks like Obertan will still be out. Although Yohan will be a miss you just cannot knock back a profit of £14M for a player who went on strike and put the club in a real pickle, especially when he could've bought his own contract out in the summer for a few million, absolute steal getting that much, sure he scored some good goals and dictated our good football but that doesn't put food on the table in this day and age of competing with foreign multi-billionaires, Hazard must be shitting himself being up against big Mousse who'll be wanting to put the 0-3 derby result out of our system alongside 'big' Vern and local hero 'Tayls' marshalling the defence. Despite being up against it I feel we can pull off a low scoring defeat here which will pick us up and give us some momentum especially now we've got the cups done and dusted early doors. Sure it is disappointing going out but would you want to be relegated if it meant getting through to a final? The Premier League is the main deal and the party is back on! Anyway, heart says 1-0 to Chelsea and Luuk de Jong getting a canny shot off early on, head says 3-0 to them. Ho'way the lads!

Quick! Cancel Venice if you can, mate, found the perfect hol for you! You'l be well looked after here, CT. Please, no need for thanks.

Ahh knaa that, man! That's part of the joke.

South Shields, 1991, outside Oz nightclub "Word on the street you're looking for a corner settee." "Yep." "Check this out." "Ok, Crockett, you can have this product for as little as £89.47 a month, 4 years free credit, no deposit and 48 equal monthly payments of £89.47. That's 0% APR REPRESENTATIVE, my friend." "Silent Toughguy negotiator huh? Ok, I'll chuck in one of my corporate Gallowgate end match tickets to watch Ossie Ardiles black & white army, it's not like I'll be needing it, Paisan." "You just sold yourself a settee, CT."

You just had to be part of his sales team to have that kind of insider knowledge.

CT: "Ah was they-ah when we were singing Ossie Ardilles black & white army."

It's about choices and personal decisions, if you're that sick vote with your feet, it's what used to happen before the ST culture and it sends a message that you're not happy. If you send a message and nobody listens then at least you sent it, don't send a message then there's nothing to listen to.

"Today I shall mostly be talking about Sunderland for a change!"

I could kill a proper full English breakfast, mind. I can't remember the last time I had one but it'll be over a year easily.

It was ok, just need to get a breathalyser rigged up on my phone/computer. I think it was the sports direct arena shit coupled with being turfed out of L7 for not being nice to poor Mike that was the straw that broke this camels back.

I'd been out all day at my late Father-in-laws wake/memorial so shouldn't have posted as it'd been a long day and much drink had been drunk. Please go un-fuck yourselves.

Go fuck yourselves. Lowest point ever for me was the 0-2 off the Mackems and the year later drifting mid table in the 2nd division getting stuffed 0-3 at home to Notts County. I jacked it in before the 5th place finish and still felt comfortable with the decision. Some things just feel wrong and right. Ashley is wrong, not patronising his business is right. Fucking martyr am I? Fuck right off.

What a parcel of shite. Nice to know I'm not important, I'll wipe out all those years of support and will never contemplate going back ever again. Phew! That's a weight off my shoulders.

I paid £20 to get to the Swansea game last year in L7. That was me and my youngest. The family enclosure is also a massive saving for supporters with kids and has to be comfortably the biggest family enclosure in the PL, (7,000 I think). Would the crowds be as big if that was half or a quarter of the size?

Were you watching Jamie Oliver's cooking show at the same time, CT?
