[Archived] The Relegation Battle Aftermath

[tony gale's mic]

The live league table is horrible to look at - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9466018.stm

There's still a small part of me which feels comforted by the fact we're still not in the zone.

Obviously then common sense takes over and I remember we haven't won since January, have a muppet in charge and still have to play City and United. But it's something at least.

If we are outside the drop zone after todays fixtures I will consider it a success personally

[broadsword]

Pressure's going to be massive on Monday night if it stays like this.

It will be interesting to see how Bolton react tomorrow to their reaming in the FA Cup. They could either cave in against Arsenal or really go for it. Man City, I've already written off that game, so it's all eyes on the Reebok tomorrow.

really hanging on to 16th now. Watching the Spurs game, hopefully they can pull something together.

[Tom]

Sounds like Fulham are doing everything but score at Wolves!

Cue Wolves second goal.

[Clitherover]

wigan winning too, this is not looking good.

[Tom]

Wigan winning, dear oh dear

[sambo]

Stadium of Light.

Oh no.

[broadsword]

Let's hope we don't lose by 6 on Monday :-(

[sambo]

Sweet bit of relief at the Stadium of Light.

[Clitherover]

Phew!, let's hope they go on and win it now.

[Clitherover]

[Clitherover]

Sunderland winning 2-1, get in!

[Hughesy]

Spurs now winning....City need 3 points even more on Monday now

SUNDERLAND 2 - 1 Wigan

[tony gale's mic]

If Fulham can pull a goal back this will have been a good day for us.

[frosty]

Yess Sunderland, just need Fulham and Newcastle to score now, a goal for each would be nice!

Blackpool the better team though apparantly

...Sunderland just wrapped the game up 3-1.

[Hughesy]

Birmingham taking a good beating and hurting their goal difference, and Foster went off with a bad injury earlier too!

[Tom]

At least Brum's goal difference is taking a battering just a shame they are 3 points ahead of us, goal difference could yet be what keeps us up or indeed sends us down.

ANDY JOHNSOOOOOOOOOOOOON you beautiful bald midget

[DE.]

yesssss wolves 1-1 fulham

[Clitherover]

Fulham equalized!!!

[Hughesy]

Fulham!!!!

Sunderland 4

[sambo]

MASSIVE goal at Molinuex. That little n0bhead Andy Johnson has just done us a favour

[patrickvalery]

West Brom doing us a favour in a round-a-bout way. 2-2
