Or that their contracts have release clauses for 'bigger'/european teams and they were told when signing that we will sell if a decent offer comes along. So they put in a shift when in the shop window.
Not cynical about things you understand, but it does have a certain logic, undepinned by cashley's buy cheap, sell quick mentality....

What odds naff all positive actually happening today?
When was the deadline for season tickets again?
Cynical, much?
Another deal announced, Seydou Doumbia (Roma and Ivory Coast Striker) brought in on loan until the end of the season. If nothing else, it'll create some competition for places in the forwards but will probably see the end of any speculation about Berahino.When was the deadline for season tickets again?

Woeful. OK it takes time for players to develop a relationship but individually you need to see more effort. Gini was non existent and Sissoko looked disinterested. Perez was never going to be able to fight on his own. It's frustrating to see players left to soak up the pressure without applying it!
6 points from WBA and Chelsea (I fancy Chelsea more than WBA) or we are down. The gap is just starting to widen to those above and if we don't start getting results immediately then I don't think there will be enough games to save us.
Any ideas on a defensive 4?

We're done. All hope has gone for me. Can't see us getting anywhere near enough points to stay up. Can't see us staying above Sunderland. Only saving grace being that McLaren will be gone once we're relegated and I actually think Ashley wants us to come back up and with the resources he has I think we'll bounce straight back.

As a Sunderland fan I doubt you boys will take the relegation plunge tbh, I think your spending wiil come good and you'll hang in there - just.
Ours wont, we've had one great escape too many me thinks.
I think we're both down to be honest. We've made some good signings but the wally with the brolley is showing a real lack of understanding of tactics and player positions. Aarons at left back? Little Perez up front on his own against strong centre backs? I can't see us getting enough points to catch up even if Norwich and Swansea fail to go on a run. I think the Norwich/Villa game is huge. If we lose at the weekend again and Villa get turned over (which isn't too difficult to do) then the gap just widens. Ours wont, we've had one great escape too many me thinks.
I actually think your lot are showing signs of getting better. Defoe is a class finisher and I watched the Man City game and you certainly didn't look like relegation fodder. Don't forget the usual 3 points form the derby
I think your difficult games coming up may make the miracle come back a stretch too far but you never know, an unexpected 3 points against a big team could push you on. I see nothing in our play to suggest anything other than the big drop.

The wally with a brolly - I love that, haven't heard it in years I actually think your lot are showing signs of getting better. Defoe is a class finisher and I watched the Man City game and you certainly didn't look like relegation fodder. Don't forget the usual 3 points form the derby

As an aside I have put £20 on us to turn Liverpool over, 7/1, we're due a win and I think we can do it.
