Goid day for us. Spam lost 1:0 at home go Fulham, so we're still 6 points ahead of them, 10 better GD and a game in hand. Burnley 7 points back an Wolves 17. UTWDTP.

The next 3 games are going to be massive JR, get some points in the bag, open a gap and join the pack and it will get very interesting indeed, doubt any team is going to relish coming to ER the way things are at the moment, can't wait for the Man U match ???.

You can’t help feel what if we had lost to Man City (did we lose? ) and the turmoil that would of probably ensued.
What coach we would have now and the conversations would also be very different i’m sure.
This season for us still could crumble away with one or two serious injuries to key players but we still have a chance of staying up and it all hangs by a thread.
I’m just thankful we don’t have a knee jerk owner like Marinakis, we’re still in this with a shout thanks to Daniel Farke and his coaching staff plus our non trigger happy owners.
In Farke we trust, without him, we would be bust.
Tough game against Sunderland today, all depends on who wants it the most in my estimation.
If we don’t win this game, we will most certainly be relegated!
Onwards and Upwards.
{Ed025's Note - this game will not define your season OP even if you do lose, im going for a 1-2 with DCL getting the winner mate, they have lost 6 players to the AFCON and this is the optimum time to play Sunderland..

I personally don’t believe in season defining games Ed, i'm just tempting some of our posters to maybe follow or challenge that statement.
It’s funny when you’re on a good role you don’t hear the, "it’s a must win game anymore"!
I feel we will be too physical for Sunderland, but let’s not ignore what a scalp this would be for Farke and his men if we can win this game to a Sunderland who have not lost at home this season.
If stats have anything to do with this game, we should be blown out of the water by Regis Le Bris team, this should be a great spectacle of two teams from the lower divisions who are here to make a statement about football.
{Ed025's Note - them having players missing will hopefully work in your favour OP, they have done exceptionally well but as i say its a great time to play them mate..

Back to normality opti.
Your posts defy logic or reason even if just an opinion. Change your diet mate. Live in the now and future rather than the past. Zzzzz.

More than surprised.
{Ed025's Note - i can be a bit steve naive at times Chris, but i tend to take people at their word mate.. :)

Just making my opinion of the here and now of our football club Aus and I’m not sorry that it doesn’t comply with your opinions fella.
Having a very short memory seems to be very convenient with some posters.
Moving on to our game today do you think we should win this game on the basis that like Ed has pointed out, Sunderland are missing about seven of their players due to Afcon, ?
It’s my belief they have a deep enough squad to deal with their slight handicap over the coming weeks and they have already made provisions to deal with this situation.
If it wasn’t for our recent upturn I would say even with their partially depleted squad, they would win this game hands down.
A draw would be a very handsome result in my living in the past, dozy opinion.
