Mr Jenkins 0 Posted May 6, 2014 I think west Brom will win tomorrow night and we can look forward to a cracking last day of the season. I have every faith that our lads can get a win against Arsenal, we can only hope that the Swans do us a big favour. That''s the one that worries me, but I know we will do our bit.

Norma Stick 0 Posted May 6, 2014 With both teams needing just one point to send Norwich (all but) down, you think? Wake up and accept the ineveitable, my friend. We''re down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Bird 0 Posted May 6, 2014 If it goes to the final day, I can actually see us winning. I do, however, feel the Swans have nothing to play for and Sunderland will win.It''s a shame even a draw at the Stadium of Light will see them safe. If only Man Utd had of turned up Saturday and won and it would look much better for us after our draw on Sunday. Who knows, though, Palace had nothing to play for, but scored 3 goals in 11 minutes and made a comeback after going 3 down last night. I''m thinking we are down, though, and anything else will be a massive bonus, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salopian 1 Posted May 6, 2014 The way that Sunderland have been playing recently I think that they will sweep WBA away, and Sunday will be academic. I certainly can''t see Sunderland losing two consecutive games at home, again in the light of their recent performances. We are dead and buried, I fear.We lost our position in the Premiership weeks ago in a number of now-show performances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted May 6, 2014 It was all decided at home to West Brom I''m afraid. Still stranger things have happened. We just have to hope that now Sunderland are on the brink of safety the pressure gets to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 851 Posted May 6, 2014 Well if we can screw up to WBA at home, hopefully so can Sunderland.If you really believe, I suggest you get down the bookies and get the 50/1 available on Sunderland to go down.How annoying would it be if Sunderland screwed up both their games and we didn''t beat Arsenal!

Guest Posted May 6, 2014 Maybe they''ve used all their luck up Joanna Gray, and ours is about to kick in? ;)I fully expect them to get a point at least against West Brom, but if it does go down to the end of the season, Swansea are just the sort of team to put a massive spanner in the works.

lake district canary 4,830 Posted May 6, 2014 If you think back to our game against WBA, the pressure was really on to get a result - and the pressure got to us. Pressure does funny things to footballers and if WBA turn up, then Sunderland will feel it and if they don''t score early, then who knows......In that scenario the pressure would be on them even more on the last day of the season - and if we can get an early goal against Arsenal and that news filters through to the crowd at Sunderland, things could get very interesting. Thee are millions of pounds at stake as well as premiership survival - and it is Sunderland''s to lose - the pressure is all on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Bird 0 Posted May 6, 2014 Sunderland have two bites of the cherry this week, so to speak. IF they lose tomorrow night, they get another crack on Sunday. It''s not like they have to win either game. They only need one point. Losing both is possible, but unlikely I fear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
