Premiership Relegation 2012/13

It's going to be Bedlam at the bottom come the last few weeks of the season if results keep going the way they are, Villa, Wigan and QPR are showing they are up for the fight, while those above them are floundering.
It's proving to be a fantastic battle with no doubt plenty more twists and turns to come.

he may not as well as wasnt it sunderland that turned their backs on United on the last day, to mimic the City fans after they scored the winner over QPR?

Aye but they have already had payback for that unless they are saving a bit more for the Stadium of Light lol.

with a 15 point lead United can now afford to rest at will and like Colbro has mentioned can afford to rest plenty of players b4 they play Chelsea in the replay.
Even so, if United do rest players, Sunderland are going to have to get their act together to beat them.

Sunderland couldn't even beat Man U reserves at the moment. And I'm not joking.

Sunderland now best priced 7/2 with the books and 4.4 at Betfair.

Every single Man Utd player in what ever 'weakened' team Fergie puts out would walk in to the Sunderland team.

Sunderland's woes continue as Fletcher stretchered off in the Scotland game, a possible broken ankle.

The 7/2 for relegation will soon be gone if a break confirmed.

The strike force of Danny Graham and Connor Wickham will strike fear in to the hearts of the opposition, for sure

looking at your fixture list Seen 7/2 is a good price with or without a broken ankle...

I make it 8 points max for Sunderland looking at the fixtures but we know it never goes to plan, the Everton and Villa games will be key for Sunderland's survival, if they can get 3 points from either of those games and don't fcuk up against Stoke or Saints then they should be safe.

I must admit it's not looking good though.

Sunderland are the only team in the Premier League to have won none of their last 6 games and are playing with zero confidence.

The other teams at the bottom are putting up a good fight, Wigan and Villa have both won 2 of their last 3.

The only thing that can save Sunderland is the fact that I've backed them to go down @ 4/1 - that should do the trick

Thing is though, form is fickle & more fickle at the bottom. Its okay saying Villa & Wigan are 'in form' but if they werte good enough to sustain that form they wouldnt be where they are. So although I dont see Sunderland getting much before they come to us, we may be floundering again by then.
Our fixtures are 'easier' before then though, & the Liverpool home game next sunday is massive as its all 6 pointers the week after, so real movement can be made

Sunderland in to 3.3 at Betfair.

Well, Fergies played a strong team with no Rooney, so he hasnt forgotten, or certainly forgiven

Sunderland now in to 7/4

I thought you deserved a point but it's the type of game where United have been picking up 3 points all season without playing particularly well, bastards!!

I thought it was a pretty lacklustre performance tbh, & not a MoN brand at all. He appears to be losing the gift & as I've said before the fact that John Robertson isn't there with him might speak volumes when looking back.
That said, Villa are back in the bottom 3 without kicking a ball & suddenly we could do with something from tomorrow. I believe we can but the nerves are jangling again, although as has been pointed out Sunderland have far the harder fixtures than Villa & Wigan. fair play to Wigan but I still feel the FA Cup might scupper them yet, & it would be interesting to see how late they left this type of run the last few seasons. Ie have they gone too early?
I remain convinced that if any team were good enough to keep a run going, generally they wouldnt be down there in the first place.
