He said we won't make the playoffs so I had a charity bet with him.

Hacket was saying they need to have the guts to reverse the yellow card and make it a red, even though they wouldn't normally do that.

If it's still open at the end of the season I'll get Chicken McGraw to cough up for it when he loses his bet.

I saw that, real nice of him considering how some Sunderland fans have treated him. ;) Just donated.

I think with Haji, maybe his head went down when he got injured. He was out for probably twice as long as he expected, original forecast was January IIRC. this was seriously jeopardising his international chances with the world cup coming up next year. Maybe he was a bit dispirited with his form...

Not sure if it's feasible or not, hence I did end with a question mark. Read this https://www.safestandingroadshow.co.uk/the-case-for-safe-standing/can-safe-standing-increase-capacity

The only way is possibly standing capacity?

I posted last week that Boro losing to Swansea was the result of the day. They will be a bigger threat than Bristol I think, due to the remaining fixtures each have.

Maybe so, but that kind of run is vanishingly rare. Blackburn and Watford need 18 points from from a possible 24 to reach 70, and even that is not guaranteed to get 6th, and both have poor GD.

I don't think we would have seen todays performance if we had got something from Tuesday's game.

I wouldn't

Thomas' goal against Stoke was brilliantly taken, and I guess his position up field was justified considering we were trying to win the game in the last minute, but I would much prefer our defenders to concentrate on defending and leave the goal scoring to our forwards and midfield.

I think playing Wright is the correct decision, let's get him match fit as soon as possible and it should pay off towards the end of the season. FL can always make changes if it's not working.

3 of those 4 games are at home. I can see at least 1 win there, and 1 maybe 2 draws. Remember what we did to Fulham in their promotion year, and Leicester & Leeds last year.

Bristol have a horrible run in.

Yes but I just felt they could go on a run similar to ours at any time.

I think the best result of the day (apart from ours) is Middlesboro losing. They are the team I was fearing, but now 6 points behind us

This is quite possible. I believe one or two of the oxford players might have targeted his shoulder following the injury. I just think that if it was bad enough to pop out a second time on fairly minor contact he wouldn't have been able to continue following the original injury. Shall have to...

I don't normally bet but I regularly donate small amounts or what I can afford to various charities. I will trust you not to do a runner and create a new account if you lose. £10 charity bet that we finish 6th or above.

clarify what you have in mind
