Fancy a wager on it?

If we lose today we will go down. 

How much?

Not particularly, I just don't have such a giving up attitude with 18 points still to play for after today.

That's us down if it stays this way

Well obviously we wouldn't be

A half fit Gregory far better option on the bench than that useless fuck Fletcher, aside from that happy enough with it

Poveda has travelled with the squad.

Good news even if just available as a sub

Going for a 2-0 win, Boro effectively out of playoff contention now really, hopefully we can take advantage 

I don't XM is anywhere near as bad as some make out. Came into an unfit shit show. That said I'm glad he's gone and DR is here.

No way Danny Ward saves a penalty. 

He didn't, Wales out

Moores pen 🤣

My husband is Welsh and has that horrible feeling we're so used to from watching England as pens loom

Watching Wales vs Poland.

Poland been trying for a penalty shootout since the game kicked off.

2nd half of ET about to start.

Been a good watch for a 0-0, Wales to win on pens

Belgium win at 7/2 or BTTS & 7/1 was free money

Good luck being on the phone to HMRC - on hold for an hour then they cut you off 

Probably got one of those phone displays that shows who's calling 😁

For most of my football watching life, non- regular football folks always complained that the offside rule was too complicated.  Now? They didn't know they were born!

Either you're a football pro or a right little swot if you even think you know it all.  The rest of us?  What a load of absolute bollards they've turned the 'Beautiful Game' into!  

Very true, I was incensed for a good ten minutes and was only a fucking friendly.

TBH I thought that was a mile offside 

I don't understand how the one that scores isn't offside when he taps the ball in the net when he well past everyone for the shot that is saved. It gives him an unfair run on the defence.

Settled nicely now England, playing some good stuff against a pretty dirty Brazil side

I’d be much more worried if he’s on the radar of someone like Leverkusen. I really doubt Röhl will leave for another Championship club. 

He might if we went down but as that's not going to happen we don't need to worry about it 🤞

They’d have to pay Chansiri levels of compensation if his contract runs to 2025. I can see why it would appeal to him but it’s not all it seems at Sunderland as their owners are arguably less willing to invest than Chansiri 

I'd hardly describe DC as someone not willing to invest given how much he's spent already!

Have our aspiring antifa lot been up to much this week? Any pre Swansea protests planned?

It'll be the home match against Norwich I presume, they love sky cameras

Wales v Finland live on channel S4C 

Sky channel 829, great start with early lead

No reasoning needed, let's run this until Sunday and see where the site stands. It simply Staying up or Going down.

I'll start.

Staying up ⬆️

Sunderland away, confirmed 12.30 KO. Happy travels 🤣

Not been today as I'm away on hols, (Benidorm the place is mental) 🤣 

Weren't expecting much but 6-0, I couldn't bloody believe it. 

Having seen starting line up I'm a little bit confused by the team that started, we've looked ok with 3 central defenders and 2 wing backs getting forward at every opportunity so I'm surprised to see we went with what looked an attacking formation. 

Playing teams at top maybe it would have been better to park the bus and try and grind out a result. 

I don't like knocking Rohl because I think he's going to be a top manager but he's still got a bit of learning to do. 

Sad similar, these defeats are just going to make Rohl better and better, and still one hundred percent believe he'll keep us up 

Over 5/1 for the win, tempting 

Just got a 5 minute hammering on look leeds

Agree these Numpties need to stop being absolute cocks - if it was my lad chucking a bottle of Pepsi would get a proper f**king.

Also players like Meslier need to stop being arses and blatantly winding the crowd up.  All for banter but he was goading. 

If you started winding me up in the pub for instance, it's highly unlikely I'd throw a bottle of beer at you so no excuse at a match however much a knob the player is.

For the record I wouldn't waste beer in such a disgraceful way 🤣
