Finish the job

[Zen Den]

We have 43 man! Utter nonsense in particular when you now expect us to go on to Europe??? Talk about having a penny e/w

Haha all this because I said ‘almost certainly’.

 

[Rokeroar]

The jobs pretty much finished for this season going off what Ghisolfi has said in interviews etc, the aim for this season has been achieved, unlikely they've set another aim by the end of this season for Regis.

Not the way I read it. Did he not say another 3 points, then another 3 points…….
That read to me that he wants us to win as many points as possible

 

[Yeltas]

I think our last away game of the season will be a battle for both clubs to qualify for Europe (us or Everton)

Having a bigger ground is a must. They would lose their tiny minds.

And the great thing about it is that they are severely restricted in expansion options and would likely have to move to a new stadium to increase capacity significantly.
It would cost a fortune, would likely be outside of the city and their beloved St James' park would be demolished!

Adding a few thousand seats to the SoL would be a relatively cheap way to put the Mags in a situation where they would have to spend an absolute fortune to have a bigger ground. I love the idea.

Imagine the amount of money the mags would have to spend to just to find a new location, let alone getting planning permission and actually designing and building the stadium!
I'm not sure their owners would be up for it, tbh. Of course, they are wealthy enough to grease a few palms on the council...

Makes a change from us battling relegation on the last away game but a welcome change

 

[Morse]

I don't look at them. Let's try to qualify for Europe if we miss the starts we may hit the moon of top half, that'll likely be above them anyway.

I do!
Just imagine if we've broken them and they don't get another point!

Exodus in the summer for them, either way. Crap attitude in their squad almost to a man.
They're clearly unhappy there, and they're not performing as a result.

It's a joy to behold. Thank fck we don't have their scouting network.

Not sure what people are finding so difficult to understand.

The goal in football is to obviously try and win every game.

He’s said multiple times in recent interviews that the aim was 40 points. What I’m saying is I doubt they’ve then set Regis another target to achieve in just a couple of months before the season is out e.g. we now want you to get 50 points or secure a spot in Europe.

Could be the case for the last home game too.

 

[bakumackem]

The goal should be European qualification, if that means we finish above them then all the better.

Who would you have get the goal that gifts us that milestone?

Mr Sunderland gets my vote

[Ned Land]

Now that the double’s done and we’re almost certainly safe, the re-focussed goal now has to be to finish above them. While it’s not necessary for us to do so in order to have had a brilliant season, it would be the absolute icing on the cake and would extinguish the last breaths of delusion left in our neighbours.

Also, if we finish above them there’s a good chance we’ll be knocking on the door of Europe, and by extension a good chance they won’t be.

As Dawn Thewlis so neutrally put it “we really need the international break”.

With a fully fit defence we can win every match 1-0.

 

[JL1985]

I’m so relaxed about the rest of the season now. I felt like a pressure cooker in the build up to Sunday but as soon as the final whistle went, the stress left my body.

Good shout. I really believe he has a very bright future ahead of him but could really do with adding a Clem or two and a good subbed to emulate BB

Return of the king. A last minute throw of the dice with us needing a goal to clinch European footy, on comes Abdoullah Ba and he scores the winner versus Chelsea.

 

[DiscopantsSoL]

If we do expand , what was our current waiting list for tickets ?

Was over 9,500 when i spoke to David Bruce last Friday

 

[chriswallace85]

I just wanna finish as high up as we can. Being above them shouldn't be a target, but I'd like to do it by default.

It would be a tad disappointing if they do finish above us after us being ahead 90% of the time, but if it happens, fuck em. We've done what we set out to do and are making good progress.

 

[Super Colin Todd]

What's with the obsession with them up the road......Is it a village thing because people in sunderland don't give 2 shits!

 

[The Fitter]

I'd very much like to see us get 50 points.

Established. I think we'll get closer to 55 as the real pressures are off. If there was any a time to throw caution to the wind and just go for it, then it's now.

Thats what we like , our boys love a big game

 

[Redandwhitedust]

This season was only ever going to be judged on survival. Stay up = success. Relegation = failure.

Literally anything else would be a bonus.

Were out of the cups. We look to be safe. Fuck the mags, fuck Europe, win as many games as we can, and what will be will be.

They might finish above us. They might claim to be top dogs, but theyll know deep down we did them home and away and were a lot closer to them than theyre comfortable with.
