I don't think you play a second string line-up with something like £1M on offer per place you finish in the Premier League...

I'll take the day at Wembley and finally winning the FA Cup over a couple of million.

We're okay, we've got all that Europa money to grab.

I'd still fancy Timbo to put a few surprises on the bench and I think we'd still win.

I am starting to believe this seasons relegation battle is going to get nicely boring very quickly. I think the current bottom 3 will go down without much fuss.

That would suit me just fine.

If we make the final say against arsenal, do we automatically qualify for Europa

No.

I think the Albion will be more involved than we will.

Yet ironically they allow lots of runners up teams into the "Champions League"

I'd worry if I was a Sunderland fan, they beat an equally awful Newcastle, but have had a couple of whippings  recently, and their side lacks quality.

I don't expect QPR or Burnley to win their game in hand on us. I think the 6 point gap is big enough that they won't catch us now. Short of us going pointless till the end, which won't happen.

If we're safe and Burnley are down by the last game, I wonder if we might see Rushian get a game and maybe a couple more kids. It'd also be great to give Libor a run out at that point. If Burnley are down already, no one else can really complain if we put out a second string.

Given Sherwood's MO, I would bet on having some kids on the bench at least if we're fortunate enough to be involved in games with nothing resting on them.

And if we did send Burnley down we should do zero piss taking just to wind up the Geordies.
No one is going to send anyone down based on one match.
