Nope, they're missing out on £100m from the Premier League money, they get a bit of a parachute payment, but that will barely cover their wages, if it does at all. Re: going down without a points deduction, Grayson's sides tend to start slowly, but then he'll go on a bit of run. They might go down with or without any points deduction, but I think it's more likely they'll get sufficient points to stay up ahead of teams like Barnsley, Birmingham, Bolton, Burton etc.

Didn't win that daft acca, but my Premier League acca came in. Burnley & Huddersfield to draw, Chelsea, Everton, Man City, Man Utd and Spurs to win. Would have won £130, but cashed out for £62 because Southampton were hammering at Man Utd's door and I couldn't trust Burnley and Huddersfield to keep each other out. Also had a bet on Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd and Spurs to win by -2, so Man Utd and Spurs are cunts.

After their previous loss I think a long standing record was broken (5 losses and no goals) so I think with every loss they make their own record harder to beat.

If they go into administration will the points be deducted from this season, or next? If it's this season then yes, they most likely will go down. They get a -10pt penalty and continue on their Ppg, they'll end up on around 28pts. Rotherham managed 23pts and Blackburn were relegated on 51pts. Leeds were relegated on 36pts after their 10pt deduction.

No way would this story have come out if we were 15th in the league. He's hoping some Billionaire Oil-baron isn't paying a lot of attention and will put in a bid around his asking price now, before we slip down the table.

I like seeing Sunderland's arsehole fans getting their comeuppance, I enjoy our local rivals having a torrid time. But a North East club of their size being in the bottom three of the 2nd tier is a bit shit. My mackem mates would have a laugh at our expense when we went down, but after that initial bit of stick we could have a proper chat about football and they sympathised with our plight. I'll do the same for them. But their arsehole fans, the lads with "1-9 FTM" in their sigs, or the ones who insist Benitez is a shit coach, or the ones who define their support of Sunderland by how often and how loudly they declare their hatred of Newcastle United, those ones can fucking rot in League 1 in perpetuity. fwiw I don't think they'll go down.

Have we, have you evidence for that? Not empirical, anecdotal or otherwise, but actual evidence.

I miss Bobby Shinton.

Hailo, Gett

Not sure the increase in prices will filter down to the drivers to be honest.

Berb, is that you?

and as prices rise, punters will return to/rely on mini cabs firms like Addison Lee and Keen Group, or black cabs. Especially as the latter now have reliable apps like Hailo and Gett, which mean you can have one come to your house and pick you up, rather than having to flag one down or find a taxi rank.

No doubt it will continue, but it may see significantly fewer drivers on the streets, which will in turn surely see prices increase as demand outstrips supply?

Wonder what this will mean for the company https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/uber-stripped-of-its-licence-to-operate-in-london-a3641046.html

Andre fucking Marriner's officiating as well.

I think there were a few games where we were complacent. Blackburn at home and Rotherham away off the top of my head. Way I see it, we've a very young squad, we're 4th when everyone thought we'd struggle, we're getting praise in the media, Brighton are arguably the weakest opposition we'll face in the league and we've won 3 on the bounce.

cashmeoutside, howboutdat?

I thought it was implicit that it was the players' complacency I was worried about, not the reactionary arseholes on here.

I'm worried about complacency.

It's not an expense man, it's an investment.

Be better if his name was Phil.

Brighton fans seem pretty confident of a win http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?356506-**-BHA-v-Newcastle-**-Premier-League-Score-Predictor-Now-in-its-7th-SEASON-!! 56.44% of them going for the home win, but most think it will be tight which ever way it goes. 76% think the goal difference will be <1.5.
