ollysaints1 Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 I'd put good money on Danny Graham having a blinder and scoring his first goal for Sunderland. The fact he's been complete toilet since he joined them means he will play out of his skin against us, as per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles31 Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 Think it'll be a tight and nervy game to begin with but we'll eventually win 2 -0. Professional performance and goals from Morgan and Lambert and safety depending on other results. COYY!! We seem to play well in yellow too. Which is irrelevant info.

WealdSaint Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 This is the game to win. If we loose this I dread home to Stoke. They will sit back let us press and then hit us on the break just like QPR & WBA did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Stoke win tomorrow 4.0 then it will be less pressure on Saints last game, we don't appear to tackle enough to beat Sund or Stoke and need to score more than we let in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Stoke win tomorrow 4.0 then it will be less pressure on Saints last game, we don't appear to tackle enough to beat Sund or Stoke and need to score more than we let in Tackling? When did you last watch a game? Tackling as a means of winning back the ball in the modern game has been replaced by a high tempo pressing game, as high up the pitch and as quickly as possible. How many tackles have Barcelona made over the past three seasons? Lots of interceptions but few tackles. That is why Morgan and Jack Cork will be highly sought after this summer, both are very good at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 I hope we get 4pts from our last 2 games, but to be honest I can see us drawing the next 2. As long as we're safe, I don't give a f*ck about the results. Hopefully finishing above 15th though, as I get a little bit of scratch from a bet for that ----------------BORUC---------------- CLYNE-----FONTE-----MAYA-----SHAW ---------MORGAN-----CORK----------- LALLANA-------S.DAVIS--------JAYROD ---------------LAMBERT--------------- Subs: K.Davis, Forren, Hooiveld, JWP, Guly, Puncheon, Mayuka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's been complete toilet since he joined them means he will play out of his skin against us, as per. Oh sh!t, you've re-awakened a nightmare from about thirty years ago - the 'Ally McCoist factor'. McCoist had joined Sunderland for a hefty fee as a promising 19year old, he had probably scored one goal all season, when we played them at Roker Park towards the end of the season (81/82 I think when we wre seriously challenging for the title, and Sunderland in a relegation scrap.). We lost 2-0 in a midweek game, Ally McC^nt scored one of them if not both. (Sunderland sold him back to Scotland at the end of the season, from where he started his career again). Next Saturday, am fearing the worst frankly, as Di Spicable will have them fired up (or facing a firing squad on Sunday morning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many tackles have Barcelona made over the past three seasons? Lots of interceptions but few tackles. That is why Morgan and Jack Cork will be highly sought after this summer, both are very good at this. This. That said Nat Clyne is in the top 10 of successful tackles made this season, and Spiderman is near the top of the interceptions table. A lot of things can be aimed at Saints in terms of criticism, but to say that we are poor at tackles or interceptions just shows that some people on here have no idea what they are talking about.

Wiggles31 Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 So who are Sunderland missing? Obviously Gardner but do they have suspensions due to yellow cards? Swear they don't count at this point in the season. Hope Larsson is injured too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Is Gardner definitely out? Don't they normally get a week to appeal a red, meaning he would still be eligible for our game? I'm not entirely sure on that rule but I'm sure we've fallen foul of something similar before. Would be good if they are without Gardner, Fletcher, Cattermole, Sausages and maybe Larsson.
