Oh dear – someone’s hurting this morning!
On the bright side, the CCC is very northern-dominated, so you and the other 19500 who couldnt be arsed to go last night might get out of your armchairs and go and cheer your side on.
Fair play to those who were in the visitors end last night in fancy dress – as Arsenal fans.
See Ya!
I reckon that even last nights result wont mean Villa will be safe come 19 May and its going to be down to that game. I do think that Villa will only require a point to survive, whereas you’ll need a win.
Tonight I’m going to stick £20 on Wigan staying up if the odds are better than 3-1.
our price has come in then…was odds ON last week…..we still have to play 4 of the teams mentioned in that odds list……..interesting mr bondSunderland also have 4 teams in that list to play, and they are 4 points ahead of Wigan, which explains why they are 3.5 times less likely to be relegated than Wigan according to the bookies.
You are not kidding! Fortunately, after Man Utd & Chelsea, we have Newcastle, Everton, Villa, Stoke & Southampton, before finishing off at Spurs.
Frankly, if we cannot get another 7 points from those fixtures then we deserve to go down. I think 38 points will be enough, as I cant see QPR, Reading or Wigan getting that many.
I still get my supplies from the Muffin Man when I’m up visiting, or my folks come to stay with me – you cant beat their muffins!
The obvious date would be Wed 3 Apr, but if Chelsea win their Euro tie, I would expect the Chelsea v Man Utd replay to take place on either 30/31 March or 6 Apr, and the respective premier league games moved, although they will have to be quick for the former, as Sky are planning to show Sunderland v Man Utd, and as sky are not interested in the FA Cup, they may object.
My reasoning for that date is that Fulham whom Chelsea deconflict with for home games are playing QPR on 1 Apr.
I reckon they will announce the semi dates well before then – why inconvenience the fans of Man City, Wigan and Blackburn/Millwall? After all, Man Utd or Chelsea playing at wembley at short notice doesnt affect their fans – they all come from London anyway!
Notwithstanding my dislike of all things ManU, I thought that red card was harsh, and it changed the course of the game. Before Nani’s ill-timed challenge, the game was evenly balanced, but afterwards there was only ever going to be one winner.
I disagree about the wheels coming off. Not having a European competition as a distraction will mean they will win the league by the end of April.
EXACTLY the same happened in w/ham v everton game, 2 identical challenges (like nani’s) and TWO red cards (c.cole & d.gibson)…which were both recinded by the FA.
I didnt realise he got booked for it – shame as a 3 game retrospective ban would have been coming his way.
Huth, I believe, got off with it on the day, which makes the chances of an FA charge much more likely.
Horrible players, horrible club, horrible fans, horrible manager. No doubt Pulis will be whinging about his “poor, hard-done to” players being picked on by the authorities.
No need for a bonus. I think most clubs now have relegation clauses written into the players’ contracts – if memory serves me correct, Newcastle were the only club to have gone down recently that didnt have anything in place, hence Joey Barton picking up £70K a week in the Championship!
DW is a savvy fella when it comes to contracts, and I’m damned sure that should Wigan go down, the wage bill will reduce considerably.
i’m sorry to hear that there was bother. A far cry from the good-natured snowball fights that were taking place around the ground and on that bridge between Wigan & Sunderland fans a fortnight ago.
14 quid and a good chance of seeing us win
40plus quid and a good chance of seeing us lose.Yet we all prefer the latter. Funny old game
Using that theory, why did only 5000 of you show up for the game against Bournemeouth?
Get over it…..I had, and had no intention of mentioning your away following at very local and cheap (£18) Macclesfield or very far away and expensive (£25) Stoke – it was you that started the “Look at me” thread.
One swallow doesnt make a summer. You had a good following. You’ll have a $hit following again on Tuesday.
Get over it. I have.
Not really. I knew you’d sold all your tickets a long time back. Well done on avoiding the potential banana skin, and I hope you get a good draw in the next round.
Now, Geography wasnt my strongest subject at school, but I’m sure Stoke is of a similar distance – whats the chances of 2300 travelling fans being there on Tuesday night?
