The discussion rages on! The end is nigh folks..

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:27 pm

Sunderland are defending so deep now, a lot of time left for Newcastle to make the pressure tell.

Hopefully it is for Stoke

by Guest Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:28 pm

Could well be Olly, could well be.

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:29 pm

Blimey, Sunderland could have had a pen there!

by Ent Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:34 pm

Boom! Great goal

by Guest Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:34 pm

Well that should seal it. What a big 3 points this could be for Sunderland. Totally flipped the script!

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:34 pm

What a strike by Adam Johnson!

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:35 pm

Another fantastic celebration by Di Canio as well.

That touchline bombarding shuttle run is a joy to behold!

by NickisBHAFC Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:38 pm

Fantastic goal by Adam Johnson. Di Canio is a legend, his celebrations are amazing, welcome to the Premiership indeed. Newcastle back into trouble.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:38 pm

Well this has put a cat amongst the pigeons

by **hampo17** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:39 pm

Great passion by Di Canio. Was as if he scored that himself.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:40 pm

One of Sunderland, Wigan, Stoke, Villa, Norwich and perhaps Newcastle then.

Wigan have 2 games in hand, one of which is at City on Wednesday. They're going to need to win one of them 2 games

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:42 pm

What a goal.

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:42 pm

Oh that's even better!

by **hampo17** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:43 pm

Great strike. Nobodies laughing at the Di Canio appointment anymore.

I am. Not gonna jump on the bandwagon yet.

by Ent Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:44 pm

Screamer!!!

by Guest Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:44 pm

Also it's a relief on their negative goal difference which may be a factor come the final day.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:44 pm

What a fantastic goal. Who the hell was questioning Di Canio appointment!!!

Already a Sunderland legend!

by GSC Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:45 pm

I hate to say I told you so

Wait, no I don't

by **hampo17** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:45 pm

Passion he brings to the role Olly is just what a relegation threatened team needs. They played well last week against Chelsea as well.

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:45 pm

'Arry's prediction that 37 points will be enough for survival is looking laughable.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:47 pm

Whoever offered Pardew a 7 year deal must be throwing up.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:48 pm

Long way to go yet. Good win for Sunderland today, we'll see if they can carry the confidence through to the end of the season

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:49 pm

Quick look at Sunderland's remaining 5 fixtures shows me that 3 of them are winnable - away to Villa, home to Stoke, and home to Southampton.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:52 pm

Jesus just looked at Wigan's fixtures. Still got Man City, Arsenal, Spurs and Swansea to play.

by Guest Sun 14 Apr 2013, 1:53 pm

The heat is really on Wigan now. They'll desperately need to win at least one of those games in hand.

This relegation battle is awesome this season.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:04 pm

The way results have gone this weekend, I think Stoke are gonna get something here...

Villa vs Sunderland is a huge game next weekend. Villa stopped QPR's revival at home, can they stop Sunderland's

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:04 pm

Good old PDC!

Lets all work together to get Stoke to F off!

And there other is vs spurs, they will get a point max from those two

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:07 pm

I wonder who people want relegated more - Wigan or Stoke? Maybe 'Arry Houdini can get both relegated.

by Guest Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:08 pm

I don't mind Wigan myself. I'd rather Stoke go than them.

This could get ugly for Stoke now.

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:08 pm

That didn't take long. 3 minutes and Carrick pokes home.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:09 pm

When Carrick scores then defending really is a problem!

by Ent Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:09 pm

Quality goal there....

by NickisBHAFC Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:10 pm

Well that was probably the softest goal of the season. Stoke need a response and fast.

by Dr Gregory House MD Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:17 pm

I don't know what everyone has against Wigan, if they didn't deserve to be in the Premier League they would have been relegated by now

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:24 pm

Ryan Shotton.

How, just how is he a Premier League footballer? Mind boggles

by Duty281 Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:26 pm

The Stoke line-outs don't appear to be causing United a great deal of problems at the moment.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:31 pm

Fairly sure I heard some Munich chants from the Stoke fans. Anyone else?

I saw a FB post about it. Two games behind closed doors should suffice.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:38 pm

Seems that United fans sang "What the Frak hell was that?" after a minutes applause for a young fan. Stoke responded with those chants.

Everyone covering themselves in glory

by Guest Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:46 pm

This is a terrible football match.

by Ent Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:51 pm

United are poor yet again.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:52 pm

Both supporters should be finned.

by Guest Sun 14 Apr 2013, 2:53 pm

Hard to look good against a bunch of spoilers though Ent.

The overall quality of the PL has dropped dramatically but then we all knew that.

No need, absolutely no need.

by Ent Sun 14 Apr 2013, 3:16 pm

We counter attack, in normal play we double up and get a cross in. Aside from that we've very little game plan or creativity.
