Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Stevie man, you've got us down for nee losses in 8 games. We can't have managed that in the top flight for half a decade! Didn't Souness, of all people, take us on a 7 game unbeaten run when he first came in? Aye but some of them were against economic refugee teams from Eastern Bloc countries and that Bnei Sakhnin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, and 7 isn't 8 either. Anyway 5/2 I'll take some of those odds. If it comes off it'll cover the train fare and if not then fuck it. In for a penny.

JamesD 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Top North East team Sunderland have come in the top 10 twice in 50 year. TWICE. We've proven over two games we are superior to them and I believe at the end of the season the table will tell no lies. Means nowt though do it? We turned Chelsea over and will probably get something from them again at the SOL, they will still finish above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Not bothered about where we finish in relation to Sunderland, it's all about survival for me. This thread is petty and something we ridicule them for doing. A thread concerning the mathematics and predictions to doing with us staying up however is something I'd take a keen interest in. We only need 10 points to stay up, might not even need that many. Relegation is no longer on the agenda. I think we'd all take 50 points, if I'm right we'll be 45 from 30 played. There's still only the 7 points between us and 18th. As things stand we should be fine but I've supported this club long enough to know to never take anything for granted. We've definitely done better than I thought we would have. To put it into perspective, if we'd held on for the win on Sunday we'd be in 7th, 2 points off that lot in 6th, and with a game in hand. Pardew has done pretty well too - if we'd won it would have been 4 league wins out of 6. I'm just nervous about us going on another dodgy run. West Ham - for the most of the season - are the only side who have been consistently poor. Wigan will probably cling on to survival and Wolves have the self-belief. Blackpool might fall off a bit as the season wears on but there's not been a clear relegation candidate like in previous years. No Portsmouth or Burnley etc. We're on course.

OTF 6188 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 It's a crazy tight table. Every win or loss can make a big difference. Don't care where Sunderland are on the table as long as we're safe. A few more wins under the belt quickly and I'll stop worrying about the wheels falling off. I don't think it's at all likely, but you just never know. The best thing is I'm enjoying watching us play and go into every match thinking that we could get a win. That definitely wasn't the case in 2008/09 where we were diabolically bad to watch. With 16 games left we need only 5 more goals to equal our total from that entire season.

acrossthepond 707 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We need to play our own game against Spurs if we want something from the game. The way we played against them at their place was pathetic. It was a Stoke/Hull'esque tactic of trying to spoil their game instead of trying to play ours. Having Andy Carroll back will be very important against their defense who aren't that good and don't get much help from their attack minded midfield. I'm more worried about which shirt Carroll will be wearing on Saturday tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsweeney 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Agree with the above. Safety is so close, we can taste it (we've already won more games than 08-09). Nevertheless, let us make sure we get those remaining 9 or so points required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13877 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 It's utterly pathetic even hinting otherwise. As if Sunderland are onto ''bigger things''. They still have to go through Brucie's annual bad spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premiership 1996/1997 Sat 28 Dec Newcastle Utd. 7 - 1 Tottenham H. Premiership Tottenham shit themelves when they play here. The only big ground they've won at in the last 5 or 6 years is the Emirates, they're shit scared here, at Analfied, at OT, at the Bridge, but here is a real gypsy curse ground for them. They always look like rabbits in the headlights, can't believe a so called toon fan would say we'll get no points at home to them. They're not that good and like I say, with 50000 behind us they hold no fears for me. I've always held the opinion we should win all our home games regardless who we play, and this Saturday will be no different. I'll bet you 50 quid now we get a result. Get hold of Bale and we'll be fine. if we had carroll playing, yes, i'd agree about that. if we get an early goal however i think we can do them.... I hope so as i hate that spiv harry redknapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'd just like to say I couldn't give a fuck where we finish in relation to them. We need to stay up this year then we can set our sights on those bassas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26934 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I think Redknapp is having a very subtle PR campaign to convince people they're amazing. They're far from amazing. They were totally shit first half against us down there. See Redknapp telling everyone they're title contenders, when they're blatantly not. They don't have enough grit about them regardless of their technical players. Redknapp's crack over the last seven days "I wuttun syy we wuz better than United just yet." So what are you saying you're just as good as them? Fucking egotistical tosser of a man. People go on about their win over Inter Milan, Inter were in their worst run in 8 years losing to sides like fuckin Lecce never mind Tottenham, and they still managed to go in 4-0 down at HT against them in the away game. They're a good side on their day, but depending on who we can put out I will always fancy us at home against these. Their record up here is shit, they don't like it up here, IIRC their record at the mackems isn't too hot, either. We've regularly done these and done them good and proper. Redknap has the media eating out of his hand hence his shock in the rare event he gets stick off the odd one. It's utterly pathetic even hinting otherwise. As if Sunderland are onto ''bigger things''. They still have to go through Brucie's annual bad spell. I heard a bit of the mackem phone in on Radio Newcastle. (What a fucking disgrace that station is, by the way, John Anderson should tell them to stick it), mackem presenter and fat warty cunt Gabbiadini wondering that Barton could've been sent off for time wasting as he'd already been booked!!!! Jesus Christ!!!! But the real beauty was this air of indifference he gave off with SAFC going for bigger things and having a wonderful season and NUFC fans only having the derbies to think about, (Jesus, the irony!!). Fuck me, we win a game in hand and we're ONE point behind them. Had we got the deserved win on sunday we'd be above them, Marco, marco, you're kidding no cunt, if wishful thinking was an olympic sport this twat would be on the podium with a gold medal on his chest. The presenter is a prick as well. Anyway, when we've finished above them in the past on numerous occasions, they were well behind us. If they manage to finish above us this year the gap will be nowhere near as big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are well and truly safe, have no chance of being relegated and anyone who thinks differently is simply mad or too pessamistic for words. I keep hearing things on here such as..... Not bothered about the FA CUP Not bothered about the league cup Not bothered about Europe Not bothered about finishing higher than Sunderland. What are you bothered about?????? Sad, very sad.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm not bothered about finishing above anyone as long as we end up with a decent place in the league.

They're doing alright of course. Btw, it's about 20 league games since they last beat Man Utd or something daft like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
