Wow i cant believe the players and fans are celebrating failure

If i was a player or a fan of Sunderland, i would not celebrate as avoiding relegation is not an achievement
What would you expect them to do? Cry about avoiding relegation?

Serious question, do you feel qualified to comment on football?

Do people rate Alex Neil as a manager he strikes me as someone who thinks he is a lot better a manager than he actually is

Pathetic comment.

Well done Sunderland

Sky just confirmed that Sundays live games are..

Man United v Bournemouth
Swansea v Man City
Stoke v West Ham
City will get at least the point they need. Might watch our B team tip toe around Pulis' robots on dodgy stream.

If I was a neutral I think Chelsea v Leicester would have been much more interesting to me than Stoke v West Ham. Would've been nice to see the champions round off their season at the home of last season's champs.

West Ham can still get top 4, but only if they win 8-0, City Lose 8-0 (or equivalent goal difference turnaround) and United fail to beat Bournemouth. Not going to happen, so it makes that one about their possible Europa League qualification which for me at least wouldn't be as appealing as the match at Stamford Bridge.

Edit: Just thought back to how West Ham treated the Europa this season. Would they be that bothered about it next season if they do qualify?

I am not impressed by one hour of walking

Currently as things stand, I would definitely put Spurs way ahead of City in the standings of who might win the league next season, even with reinforcements coming in at City.
Spurs will need to win at Newcastle to finish 2nd

Surely Rafa won't stay at Newcastle now? Would he fancy a cold, wet Tuesday night at Burton Albion even for this reported £5m a year?

You'd think another Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga or Serie A club would come in for him?
He's been a failure

Do people rate Alex Neil as a manager he strikes me as someone who thinks he is a lot better a manager than he actually is
He did get them promoted and he is a pretty version of Wayne Rooney

With the Premiership champions and relegation all sorted, there's nothing of importance on Sunday, and the fixture computer has thrown up one of the worst weekends of the season. But that said, what the hell are Sky thinking?

Stoke v West Ham? Jesus wept.

They could've at least given Leicester the respect they deserve and shown them play last season's champions.

I suspect either Benitez or Pellegrini will be Everton manager next season. Benitez probably isn't the right man given his long record of signing huge contract and getting sacked within 6 months for the huge pay off.

Don't Sky usually show 2 live games on the last Sunday ?

I'd have thought they'd have shown the two Manchester games as it's the only undecided issue

but all things considered it's a poor last day with little of interest........God knows how Sky will hype that up !

After his spell at Liverpool, why would the Everton fans want or be happy having Rafa as their manager??

Why would they be happy having Brendan Rodgers as their manager?

Hello Rodgers perhaps??

2nd place is still up for grabs, so they could show Spurs/Newcastle and Arsenal/Villa. I think it'll come down to those two or the two Manchester games.

Proper Everton fans wouldn't give a shiny sh1t once he starts getting them results


He's been a failure
At Newcastle? Really? No-one would have kept them up, he took over a dysfunctional team in March. They improved vastly under him

I think tonight really might have done it for Flores in terms of him leaving us..

I know it seems a bit strange but the owners and a lot fans have been very unhappy about the form and performances since Christmas.

Trouble is we set up in quite a defensive way hoping to catch teams on the break with Deenry and Ighalo which worked wonders till December but we've been found out.

There doesn't seem to be a Plan B and the signings in January haven't impressed..with in the eyes of many fans certain players getting favourable treatment over others..

Having said that a new manager will need time and ofcourse his own way working so it could be a bold or stupid move!

The last time a promoted team after one season sacked a manager perhaps harshly and appointed a new one...

:P

Well we can dream!

I would say the new man will have to have us in mid table as that is what QSF has done to his credit..
