The Fish

You're wasted on here.

Whichever striker they buy with the funds they get from Pickford and the others. Even though they're knackered, they're still going to be able to attract Championship players, ageing Premier League players and decent young players on loan from top clubs (think Tammy Abraham from Chelsea). Their biggest problem is the size of their squad. Once everyone who wants to leave goes, someone on RTG says they'll be left with: When we went down we lost a significant number of 1st team players permanently or on loan, but our squad was good enough to be the squad we added 1st team players to. Once they get rid of the 'has beens', the 'never were' and the 'might bes', there's very little left and certainly not good enough to form the basis of a squad looking to bounce back.

We should have a referendum.

They might screw their season in the same fashion as Norwich and Villa, but I can't see them ending up bottom 3rd of the table.

Even if we'd gifted them 6pts, they'd still be in the drop zone.

I didn't think it was possible, but Derby managed it. And we gave them their only fucking win of the season, didn't we? Fucking Allardyce.

Like shite, he should be forced to referee loads of games for the rest of the season, while off his tits. Balance it out y'see. I don't want other clubs benefiting from us highlighting his idiocy. By the way, I think HF and I should count this as a 2-0 win.

They were cockahoop at the thought of us being in the Championship and both of them being up in the top flight. Fully taken advantage of that situation, haven't they? 19th and 20th.

Said in the other thread but Hull will likely get c37pts, Sunderland would have to improve their PpG from 0.66PpG to 3PpG to better that. Personally I can't see them getting more than 25pts and if that's the case, they'll occupy 3 places in the Premier Leagues worst 10 list.

Is that them gone? Hull winning last night puts them 10pts clear with only 8 games left. Sunderland's PpG of 0.66 would have to lurch to 3PpG to better Hull's predicted 37pts?

Set up nicely for "This season the standard in the Championship is much, much higher. That's why we're 12th." being the rhetoric come December 2017. by the way, this will go down well; http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/04/04/mark-lawrenson-compares-sunderland-to-newcastle-united/

Have to say, I have literally no interest in spending actual money on a shitty plane to drag a shitty phrase printed on a shitty banner across the shitty sky. No problem with some gloating and if there was something original and witty I'd be behind it. As it stands the only thing I've seen is a suspect bloke on facebook asking people to transfer him some money. Best thing we could do is collect a shit load of money for the foodbanks, for Bradley and the like. Do it as a celebration of our promotion and make sure it's got fuck all to do with their relegation.

They're not much fun at the minute. Combination of "woe is me" and "Looking forward to the Championship, me".

Can't help it, I'm quite the sesquipedalian.

I meant 5 games minimum if they win all their remaining games.

Shut up Doctor Dullsville.

I must have got the same answers as you're's

Highest points tally Huddersfield can possibly get is 95, so as it stands we'd need another 14pts to guarantee 2nd, so 5 games minimum. However, at the current PpG rate Huddersfield are on course for 86pts, meaning we only need another 5pts, which at our current PpG would take us 3 games. Draw tonight and we are guaranteed a Play Off spot, by the way.

Last player that really got me out of my seat.

I'm just coming from the position where they're more likely to miss out than get promotion and they won't really care who goes up in their place, surely? Also, the odds of them winning the play offs should be shorter than it is, though, right?

Poorly worded, but I just meant that of the teams promoted from the play offs, 3rd placed teams go up more than any other, however, what happens more often is that one of the teams placed 4-6 goes up. That's a good point actually and one I'm totally going to appropriate as my own on the podcast later

Here, fuck off, stress has made the weight just drop off. Basically look like a bald Olympic diver.
