I know this seems to be a Sunderland thread. And Congrats to them, but i want to rant and curse Preston for again not getting the job done. They go back and forth from the promotion zone like a damn yo-yo:bang:

Preston can still make the playoffs, but they have to beat Brum next weekend and hope two squads out of S'oton, Stoke, WBA and Wolves slip up.

They can still do it, but it will be tough.

Personally, I'd like to see S'oton or Wolves go up with Sunderland and Birmingham.

As a Preston fan, i honestly dont think we can get that sort of luck. I know there is still a chance, but if u look at 4th through to about 9th its seperated by only 3 pts

A Preston fan! how come? - always go down there when Sunderland play them as my brother lives about 20 minutes form the ground!

I will be hard for you guys to make it back into the top 6 - you have been in free fall for a month now (that 0-1 at home two weeks somes it up) but it is possible - i think if you win on Sunday then someone will slip up for you but its getting the win that will be hard. Depends on how Birmingham react to be honest - they either go all out for the title or relax thinking job done :shrug: they have not played well of late themsleves but have just ground out results!

Good luck mate!

I have no idea why im a Preston fan. Im italian so there is must story behind my choice. I think i went for Preston because i used to spend quite alot of time in the suburb Preston we have in Australia.

You'r right they have been in free fall for the last month. They cant seem to win the matches they should win, and in the wins they have had, they really werent convincing.
The Birmingham game this week is do or die. Draw wont cut it and a lose all but ends it. And im afraid after the way they went down to Plymouth i dont have much confidence in them.

Ahwell there doing better then my Italian club, so i cant complain to much.

So yesterday I watched some of Arsenal v. Chelsea. I think it was a draw. I am not sure if I like either team. Can some of you in the know tell me which way a normal person would go on this issue?

You must hate Newcastle, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Arsenal & Manchester Utd. In that order.

(When Chelsea sacks Mourinho then Real Madrid and Chelsea will flip-flop.)

Okay, I think I can live with that. That crowd at the game (can't remember where, Chelsea or Arsenal) was very loud.

I think it was at Arsenal's stadium. Jenna went to a match there this season.

Let me add a caveat to my previous post. If you aren't a Sunderland or Middlesbrough fan, you can delete Newcastle from the list if you want.

The other four must be despised by everyone not living in those cities.

remedial football question: Did Sunderland win Division 2 so they get promoted to the Premiership?

No, see, they're just trying to fool you, Mulli. You must LOVE Newcastle above all other teams. Remember, these Sunderland folk are known as the Black Cats, which as we know are bad luck...love Newcastle, LOOOOOOVE Newcastle ;)

Since Renz loves the Lakers, perhaps I should go with Newcastle.

Hey watching a match from 10/2004 between Milan and Barcelona, is it just me or did Ronaldihno gain 30 pounds in two years? Shevcenko looks the same, but Ronihno looks huge now.

Now imagine that all these highlights came in Arena football instead of the NFL ;)

I know, that was a low blow. Bad as we were this season, it was mostly injuries, and Newcastle hasn't been demoted in I don't know how long (I've been a fan since 1999).

He's only a poor little Geordie,
His face is all battered and torn,
He made me feel sick,
So I hit him with a brick,
And now he don't sing anymore.


:D
