    Can honestly see Sunderland picking up 9/10 more points.

    Arsenal will have the same casual attitude as Man City last night. Stoke as mentioned have been dreadful and are on the beach. Then the same for Chelsea at home, who have shown nothing for a few weeks now. And Watford away last day, they could be safe by then.

    I hate it when people think that the reverse fixture has any bearing whatsoever on the next game. It means nothing.

    "Oh we drew at home to Arsenal earlier in the season so we are bound to go to the Emirates and get a point".

    If anything, the better opposition will want to right the wrongs of the previous game against us.

    [quote user="Ricky Spanish"]I''m just full of excitement. I can understand the nerves but how have all the other ''cup finals'' gone under AN? Well we lost against Boro but have won every other one, odds are he''ll get a result again for us here.

    I genuinely believe we have a very good technical team playing in a league where physicality, pace and boring counter attacking football dominate and outmuscle good sides like us making us look poor and naive when we''re just trying to play good football. I also believe we have the next SAF in charge and I just can''t imagine an Alex Neil team ever getting relegated.

    His Wenger/Martinez style of management and constant backing/praising of his team may mean we get complacent at times when we''re doing well, but that also means he keeps the players on his side, they love the guy apparently and so we win big games.

    To be honest, even if we lose I''d back Neil to drag us out of this. He did it after the defeat to ''boro last year. He''s picked the squad up from some poor (and most of the time unlucky as hell) form a few times.

    We''re staying up and I can''t wait for tomorrow![/quote]

    Lol

    [quote user="Tumbleweed"]We also have a very good record against Sunderland at our place. I think Big Sam has been playing the mind games this week publicly, but with AN playing it cool like he did at the PoF in may last year I feel pretty confident. So long as we contain Defoe I think we''ll be fine.[/quote]

    So they''re due one then...

    [quote user="BroadstairsR"]They''ll never likely be too favourable towards us with their predictions.

    It''s the way it is and has always been.

    In fairness a tense, nervous, must win relegation struggle at the dog end of the season might seem to have draw written all over it to the non-partisan.

    I see it as 40/30/30 in our favour. Sunderland fans would make it closer or even reversed. Pundits might even out a bit.[/quote]

    I see it more 35/30/35. Maybe a notch or two towards us if Klose starts, say 38/28/34.

    Interesting (term used loosely) to see that the experts that are Mark Lawrenson and Paul Merson both have us down to scrape a draw tomorrow, and Charlie Nicholas has Sunderland to win. Also, Charlie Nicholas has done his relegation prediction and has us to go down with 32 points.

    I''d rather see these sort of predictions, and would be worried it Lawrenson and Merson thought we''d win, just hope we can prove these ''experts'' wrong. We really need to play with an ''us against the world'' attitude tomorrow, and in the past have played some of our best stuff like this.

    [quote user="Tumbleweed"]A bit of relief from the nervous tension around tomorrow. Watching the Dortmund game last night I was struck by how different it was for me watching a team play in yellow and black to one in yellow and green. Now I love our colours and they are distinctive, but I thought that Dortmund''s looked a bit harder edged- the black and yellow combo a little more threatening than yellow and green: wasps or bees rather than Canaries. I''m not suggesting that we change for good, far from it as I have many happy memories over the years of glorious yellow and green experiences, but it struck me that it would be interesting if one year we did do black with the yellow just as an experiment.

    I am of course a heretic, a binner and so on, but let''s take that as read and just see what anyone''s articulate thoughts might be.[/quote]

    Are you ok?

    [quote user="birchfest"]I think it''s unlikely the club will let us no too much information before Saturday on his condition, purely on tactical reasons to keep a question mark on sunderlands preparations.

    But I''m going to throw it out there that no news could be better news... I think him unlikely for this weekend, but the fact he hasn''t been ruled out for 6 or whatever straight away (like Tetty) suggests that there hopefully is a chance this could be a medium to short term issue.[/quote]

    I was thinking the longer we don''t hear anything, the worse the injury might be! Lol, but who knows. Either way can''t see him playing Saturday.

    I think it''s hard to compare this game to the one at the start of the season at SoL. They were a completely different outfit under Advocaat, and now have a fair bit of fight and resilience under Allardyce, as well as some decent signings in January in Kone, Kirchoff, Khazri etc.
