Mantis Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Did you guys just watch the same match i did? Sunderland are a joke of a team. They have no attacking direction. There number 9 is yet to score and there wingers are drastically out of form. Add gardner to the list of layers out that includes sessengon and fletcher and they look in the shit as far as i can see. Worst case is sunderland win against southampton. All the pressure will then be on the saints last day at home to stoke. Im calling it now, if southampon beat sunderland sunday, then the black cats are gone. No way they're gonna win at the lane. Also add danny rose as a player out for that game. Forgot about Rose not being able to play against Spurs. So that'll be: Fletcher Cattermole Gardner Sessegnon Rose All unavailable for the Spurs game. That's 5 of their very best players.

TRO Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If stoke had of won tonight, it would have taken another team out of the equation. That was decent result for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclean was crap but Adam Johnson had a very good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Stoke are safe. 41 points will be enough to keep you up this year especially with their GD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yes which means they wont turn up at Southampton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yep stoke are safe for me. Shame Sunderland got a point tonight, but I think really it boils down to if wonderful, wacky, wigan, beat swansea or not. We will be all be a lot more relaxed if swansea come off the beach and stuff em. Either that or Wigan will just keep on winning til the end of the season.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yes which means they wont turn up at Southampton Stoke rarely turn up anywhere. I fancy Southampton to smash Sunderland next week, leaving Sunderland to get at least a point at Spurs. You can still find 7/1 on them to go.

Villaonsea Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 One thing i would say about the fans pinning there hopes on chelsea fielding a weak team vs us. It could look like cech ferreira cahill terry bertrand moses lampard mikel marin benayoun torres Not half a bad side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafyVilla Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 And fat Frank always seems to score against us as well, just a pity Mourinho isn't back there yet afterall he had a poor record for Chelsea against us if my memory is correct.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I will be really amazed if Swansea get anything at Wigan The form guide indicates Swansea in the bottom 3...it's concerning because Swansea have a big say in things. The better news is Fulham, Newcastle and Norwich are in the lower echelons too Aston villa are towards the top Fingers crossed it means something.

I fancy Southampton to smash Sunderland next week, leaving Sunderland to get at least a point at Spurs. You can still find 7/1 on them to go. If Southampton beats Sunderland, the Cats will need a win against Spurs. Do not see that. If it is a draw, Cats still need a draw at Spurs. Do not see that. If Sunderland win, Southhampton need at least a draw against Stoke. Likely result. We need a Southhampton win. That being said, that is assuming we gain no more points, Wigan make up five in their last three while closing down our GD advantage, Newcaslte make up 2 points while closing down our GD advantage, and Norwich make up 2 against WBA and City (Very unlikely). Calm down boys. We are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 And fat Frank always seems to score against us as well, just a pity Mourinho isn't back there yet afterall he had a poor record for Chelsea against us if my memory is correct.. Lampard is 100% sure to score against us to equal the Chelsea goal scoring record. I wouldn't be surprised if he puts two against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If we beat Chelsea or Wigan we are safe no matter what other teams do, reason is as Southampton play Sunderland both cannot make 43 pointys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 There is some good news I believe. Can someone confirm that Wigan V Swansea, Norwich V Albion & QPR v Newcastle are all live television games next week. The reason I am claiming it as good news is that it at least might give the teams that we need to do us a favour an incentive to not to try & lie down building sand castles & disgrace themselves in front of millions of Nationwide & world wide viewers. Or am I clutching at straws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Swansea can't be that bad as they managed to get a draw against City. Also, let's not forget that Wigan have this FA Cup final at the weekend. That will play on the players minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Facing Wigan at this time of year is like facing any of the top four. Remarkable how they always seem to save themselves. I for one wouldn't be surprised at all if they win vs Swansea tomorrow and get at least a point against Arsenal. Ridiculous team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
