Relegation?

[David_Nab]

If we stay up it will be down to other clubs not getting results.Right now we are shocking only Cardiff are worse in the last 13 games.

If we are to battle and stay up we simply have to beat Fulham Norwich and Stoke who are all below us, that's what kept us up last season beating the teams below or directly next to us.Be handy of Spurs are off on the beach on the last game of season too

I don't think we'll go this season but I doubt we'll avoid relegation for the rest of the decade unless there is a serious shake-up.

[BegbieAV]

We need another 10 points!

Under McLeish we were extremely lucky to stay up. Blues got more points the season before and they went down. After the win against Fulham we had about ten games left and didn't win any of them.
I'd say we have a 50/50 chance of going down. If the current form continues then we will go down. I've had a few quid on it just in case. The trouble is five of the clubs below us only need a couple of wins to go above us like west ham have done.

I have a horrendous feeling we will be going to white hart lane last day needing a result. Bit like Small Heath few seasons back. Urgh

[Witton Warrior]

After 16-odd years I won't be. I'll still go down but will use viagogo and the ticket offers from the club.

That's what I'm going to do as well, I think.

Myself and at least three others from our 8-strong ST chums will be doing this.
Personally I am just numb and bored which may mean I am shallow but never mind.
I hope we do not get relegated for the simple reason I would then feel I had to buy a ST!

I know you can't predict outcomes of matches, but I wouldn't like to be in Sunderland's position. They have to play five of the current top six away and they've just had to play Arsenal too.

Also, they've got a potential fixture pile up with the Carling Cup Final and still in the cup. (Though wish we had there cup success so far this season).

I honestly don't care what happens this season now as long as something changes in the summer. I think we might just about survive. But I can't take any more of this aimless impotent leadership. I can pretty much take anything as long as I can see some sort of plan. On the pitch and off it. I see no semblance of one anywhere at the moment.

[PeterWithesShin]

Albion are the ones I can see taking the third spot. 1 win in nearly 3 months, 4 wins all season, 8 wins in their last 46.

[PaulWinch again]

I think we'll survive, but I'm by no means sure and there is a sense of sleepwalking into disaster.

[Richard E]

They even lost at Villa Park!! How crap must they be?

If something doesn't change soon though our time is coming over the next few years.

[eric woolban woolban]

When does the big TV money kick in?

Our next straw clutching exercise is which shite teams do we want to come up from the Championship.

Leicester are near certainties, but would be happy for Burnley and Derby (playoffs) to come up.

Haha!

I'm trying not to think about relegation but as each game goes by  my heart sinks.

For all the 'we'll go to new and different grounds and get to sample some different pubs' , I don't think my heart will be in it.
