The Fish 10674 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Aye. We're gone, I reckon. There's been a sinking feeling around the club and our performances for a while now. It'll be hard to argue we won't deserve to go down. The owner gave up a while back. The players gave up after the January window. At least the manager is still trying his best. You've changed your tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7066 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think I've lost all hope now. Well done lads, you've beaten me down Every cloud and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10674 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Every cloud and all that. To be honest I don't know what's changed, but this morning I've a sense of impending doom. Maybe it was seeing sunderland actually function as a football team? Hopefully, if we do go down this will drastically change Ashley's approach.

NJS 4355 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The thing that makes me accept it was watching the last half an hour of the game last night, how desperate (in the good sense) the mackems were in their defending - can you imagine our players throwing their bodies in front of the ball like they did?

Dr Gloom 21760 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 You've changed your tune. We will NOT be relegated. See, this is what happens when you make bold, confident predictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10674 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 We will NOT be relegated. See, this is what happens when you make bold, confident predictions I do maintain that the predictions of doom were more an outburst of concern and worry, rather than an objective consideration, but they may well turn out to be right. No neutral was predicting our relegation and we may still survive. I don't think we'll win, but I can't see Hull winning. That said, I couldn't see the mackems winning at Everton or staying resolute last night, I couldn't see Leicester winning 6 of the last 8. This end of the season has very much been contrary what was likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This end of the season has very much been contrary what was likely. it was objective - it started looking a very real possibility to me about 4-6 week ago, based on the way the team was playing - the lack of quality in the squad and the total incompetence of the man ashley decided to appoint as manager. that combined with our total number of points still being way short of the magic 40 mark meant you didn't need to be a rocket scientist to work out we were in trouble. the bookies took a while to notice because they don't follow the performances, or lack of them in our case, as much as supporters.

You'd have made an absolute fortune! a mate of mine did. i wasn't the only one that saw it coming - he could cash out on £180 now but is looking at over a grand off a £5 stake if we go down, which will cushion the blow a bit. i wish i'd got involved too!

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3788 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't gamble but could see this on the cards as soon as Carver took over. If Pardew was our best coach logically that meant all the others had to be total dogshit. There were too many games to go when they gave him the job. If the club is fined every time we invade the pitch we should do it every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34725 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't go to the matches any more and I think anyone who does is a cunt but I would like them to risk prosecution and a lifetime ban by invading the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 It's my first game of the season on a freebie. I couldn't give a fuck if I get a ban I'm up for a pitch invasion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) it was objective - it started looking a very real possibility to me about 4-6 week ago, based on the way the team was playing - the lack of quality in the squad and the total incompetence of the man ashley decided to appoint as manager. that combined with our total number of points still being way short of the magic 40 mark meant you didn't need to be a rocket scientist to work out we were in trouble. the bookies took a while to notice because they don't follow the performances, or lack of them in our case, as much as supporters. Which is why I'm livid with myself I didn't lay a few quid on us when the odds were so long. Remember I was predicting the worst well before it became popular.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Heaton and Vardy I'm all for players at smaller clubs getting some recognition but how are either of them international quality? Townsend hasn't done much for Spurs as of late either. That Mason is pretty average too. Edited May 21, 2015 by Monroe Transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Heatons had an excellent season tbh. For Burnley. Tbf he's a keeper who won't likely see many minutes so I'm perhaps being a bit unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
