Like us last season, they deserve to go. They have been terrible for longer than us, and have somehow by hook or crook survived each year. However, they have not been cut adrift like us, and like you say Moyes will probably grind out some results to keep them up another season at least. A lot will depend on Defoe keeping going though.

He will no doubt grind out some unattractive results. His problem is that there is no other obvious dead duck in that league. Even if Hull & Swansea do finish below them, and that's by no means a guarantee, then he still needs to finish above one of Allardyce's Palace, Middlesbrough or Leicester, and those 3 are also well able to grind out results. In a sense, this season's relegation fight is between relatively strong or well-matched teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Boros business has been poor. Relying on rudy and Bamford for goals is a recipe for disaster. I think boro could go down along with hull and swansea/Sunderland I think between those four. Be hilarous if Leicester went down but for me make it difficult for us to win the league of they come down next season. Don't fear the others at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've added those 2 to the goals they already had. Not that they had great strikers by any stretch but they do have Alvaro Negredo as #1 and that Stuani bloke has been OK. I wouldn't like Leicester going down tbh. I don't think they deserve that and I wouldn't like to see their remarkable story ending in that manner. I'd rather they be an amazing feelgood story rather than some kind of cautionary tale of boom and bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've noticed the fans are starting to have similar discussions to what we had last season. Offer nothing to the league, sick of defeats every week, would like to win more games etc have been poor for years and mismanaged. Remarkable similarities. Most of them have pretty much decided they need to go down to rebuild. The owner also wants to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. What will make it difficult for us to win the league next season is the fact that we are a ******* rubbish.

Davkaus Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Another appeal denied for Adam Nohnson. Hopefully this grubby little club get what's coming to them this season after surviving on the back of someone they knew was a sexual predator awaiting conviction.

sne Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I may not be Steve Bruce's biggest fan, but I'm positively elated that at least we did not get Moyes at any time in recent years. His latest quotes really sums him up for me. " I decided I wanted Jack (Rodwell) and Gibbo (Darron Gibson) together. I thought the game might suit more Britishness in the middle of the pitch." Da fark does "Britishness" even mean? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I honestly think they'll be fighting relegation to league one this time next year. We've had our problems this season and not been that far above the bottom 6 for a good chunk of the season and we got a new owner, manager(s) and spent 50m + revamping the squad. Can anyone really see Sunderland doing anything if they don't have their own takeover. Another bottom half team in the prem will surely take Defoe and Pickford will go aswell. Are they really going to challenge for top 6 with a squad of Billy Jones, O'Shea, Paddy McNair, Seb Larsson, Cattermole, Rodwell, Borini, Watmore etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 West Ham wanted him in January. Think he'd be a good signing for Bournemouth given how they play. Sunderland will probably want to get him off the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
