After we play WBA, villa and Brighton, we then have

Tottenham h, Burnley a, West Ham h, Liverpool a, Arsenal h, Leicester a, Man City h.

Then final two games Sheffield United at home and Fulham away.


I will be surprised if we get 10 more points.

you only need 2 less than fulham. they'll have just as bad fixtures.
 
I reckon the insurance clain over sexual abuse hanging over the club will be more important than 2 players getting injured takeover wise.
 
Fish/Sabre/Waster et. al - lets see how good you are at predicting your results and we will announce a winner after the BHA game. Sunderland lads welcome also. Rules are as per Lawro (a correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points)

I don't think they are overrated.. Almiron has come in leaps and bounds a very good player who will give all for his team... As for St Maximin has got great feet you Darnt go anywhere near him .. Granted they don't score enough goals and will struggle further with these 2 out ....😂😂😂😂 HTL

Almiron has improved. I hope they'll give Bruce some credit for that.

St Maximin has pace and great feet, but nothing else, and no commitment. He stops trying the moment he gets clattered and doesn't get the decision, or the moment the ball is picked from his feet.
Yes. There might be a club that gets something else out of him but at the moment (from what I have seen) his goes absent when he doesnt get his own way

There would have been Sunderland fans in cheering on the mags. Wouldn't have been unusual at the time. My uncle (RIP) was a staunch lads fan but he'd watch them when we were away back in the day just to watch a game of football.

I’m in my late seventies and must admit I went to Sid James and Ayresome Park if Sunderland were away. I just enjoyed watching football, no tv saturation then also went to Hartlepool.

I think it was quite common pre-premier league

My dad's mate (and his son) were Newcastle and they would come to Roker and we would go to St James a few times a season.

My grandad used to take me to Darlington a lot when I stayed with him as a kid. Still have a bit of a soft spot for them.

There’s always been animosity in some sections of the fans. However the current levels of obsession and hatred (on both sides) is fairly new and somewhat pathetic.

I have to admit I'd never, ever heard of that game. There'a few good quiz questions in there . Eg which club apart from Sunderland brought the most fans to Roker park ? Not including the 200,000 locked out .

Have you seen Fulham’s next four fixtures?

Spurs (h)

Liverpool (a)

Man City (h)

Leeds (h)

With that in mind, any points you get next four matches should give you breathing space and ramp up the pressure on Fulham. After that, who knows.
