Sunderland (a) Pre-Match Thread

Nah, we're in good form at the minute, we should be beating them.

We should have won the league last year and this season too.

The game at the start of the season should never have been close, either.

The game is surely going to be another test of how far the team has come. I hope our team spirit will make us take 3 points here.

It's got dropped points written all over this.

Sunderland are utter shite but they managed to hold Spurs the other week.

This game is it for them. Lose and they are cast adrift.

Hopefully we just play our own game and go for as many goals as possible.

*Defoe scores
*Pickford has a worldy

I'm going up on sunday and as i've never seen us win in my 4 previous visits to sunderland you can blame my presence there if we drop points.

They've conceded 6 in their last 2 games, We've scored 10 in our last 2.

Not to underestimate them, but this is one we should win through sheer weight of forward quality.

Give sergio the match ball now!!! The final nail in the coffin for sunderland imho.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

I assume Denayer can't play?

 

[TBooksbluearmy]

Thaksinsolider: it all depends on whether they bought him or not. I am fairly sure that he was bought by Sunderland either this season or last which means he will be able to play against us. Even with Denayer we still have to much quality throughout the team for Sunderland in this game, providing we don't make to many mistakes at the back. I will take a 2-1 win and not play the game, but I do expect us to win by a comfortable score say 3-1 or 4-1.

If we are to stand any chance of winning the Premier league this is a must win game, as are all the games between now and the end of the season.

 

[rowarta]

upto the past couple of visits SoL been a bogey ground for us. I still expect 0-4 victory

Sounds good to me. Pretty confident for this one, team spirit seems to be high, we've done well away against teams like Sunderland this season. 3-0 City.
