Can Sunderland ACTUALLY do it??


So, from what I understand from the local drunk guy at my pub; if Sunderland wins two games straight they can go into the Priemership....


Do you think that they can do it?

Honestly, I think that they have a shot but wouldn't say that outloud (in my town)...

Sunderland will beat Ipswich and Leicester and win The Championship.

I guarantee it!

Not a win, but a valuable point on the road.

Yeah,

A great game (GREAT)!!!

But the fans really enjoyed seeing Newcastle loose to MAN U in the afternoon. I have to say that I hated it, but it is cool.

Now, Sunderland has to win to game out of the next three??????

Crazy, but I think that their odds keeps going down every game they have a draw at...

Ugh. Newcastle United. Ugh. If I wasn't a die-hard, I'd want to dump them as my team. Ugh. The season is now meaningless. No way we qualify for the Champs League. No way we qualify for the UEFA Cup. No way we win any other tourneys this year. No way we get relegated. Ugh. This sucks

Yeah, there aren't too many happy fans after the last three to four games...

Wow, I thought you guys were pretty set at the top. Do you feel confident in winning the mini-tourney should you not win automatic promotion?

Ouch! Okay, so with so few games remaining, how many points are you clear of the playoff zone?

This is old news by now, but Sunderland won The Championship! They clinched it last week by beating West Ham 1-2.

I can't wait to play Newcastle next season.

Well, we should have our act together to start the season...Robert gone, Dyer either gone or in shape, Shearer back, probably a new signing at striker, a healthy defense (which has great potential--when healthy), same for the midfield, and some budding young talent.

And, if not...we'll still have Sunderland to whoop up on

Seriously, though, it'll be a fight for your lives next year. Not many teams that win promotion manage to stay up.
