Safety


Confirmed today. What a fantastic achievement, what a fantastic season so far. This time last year you couldn’t have believed the run we’ve had.

9 points to play for, if we manage to for 50 points it’ll be unbelievable.

The players and more so the manager deserve an huge amount of credit

No matter what happens this summer, they’ve done us proud this season.

100%

The ones pissing themselves today will probably applaud them on the lap of honour on the final game of the season.

Was a fantastic achievement even after we only had 1 loss from 11 games
Been plenty of teams (Blackpool etc) that had a great first half of the season only to get relegated.
 
It’s hard to keep perspective after the amazing start and slump since January, but it’s important we keep reflecting back on this. Truth is most of us would have taken relegation with a half decent points haul and a single derby win back in June last year. To stay up comfortably, beat Chelsea away, play Liverpool off the pitch at Anfield, draw against an unreal Arsenal side at the time, draw at home to city and to beat that lot twice is an exceptional season no matter how you cut it.

There’s three very poor teams coming up - Ipswich wouldn’t have even finished above us with that points haul last season and whoever comes up from the playoffs isn’t well set at all financially or ownership wise. That’s a great chance to stabilise ourselves in the PL for at least a third season and to build a proper quality gap between us and the bottom of the league, whoever that may be. We have to look to progress slowly year on year and we’ll be in a good place.
If our definition of a slump is 19 points from 17 games, I'll be happy.
 
We are now mathematically safe and 4 points from top 6. Every Sunderland supporter on the planet would have taken that before the season started! What an amazing season we’ve had. Best for decades. Congrats to the team and all concerned on the season as a whole.
 
Putting a team together in one summer and gelling them so quick has been a great achievement from everybody involved. Least we’ve been safe for a while realistically and would have been planning for next year already. Let’s enjoy the last three games eyy
