Clearly a dive but who gives a fcuk! Couple more second half hopefully to screw over their GD.
As much as I want them to go down I hate diving more.Quote:

Oh i dont know, they made contact when he kicked the keepers hand as he went down, should have got his hand out of the wayQuote:

Only remedy: a moment of genius from Gylfi and Cardiff fans left frustrated that their team would be incapabl of a performance like that. Never mind there's always envy ..and schadenfreude - no he's not our new Austrian signing.
obsessed, - i think your new signing is asian, Rella GasianQuote:

On this thread though, how many times! Don't gloat or laugh at another team until you are sure :hehe:
Man United are abysmal and mourinho is rapidly destroying his legacy.
Should be interesting watching swansea in the next two games. Otherwise I really wouldn't care about the relegation battle.
Hull fixtures:Quote:

You'd have to fancy both sides to get three points against Sunderland. So I feel Hull need to beat Palace as well to stay up, Swansea could get draws against Everton and West Brom and have better goal difference.
Going to be very tight!
Palace 6 points ahead of Jacks (better goal difference so effectively 7 points) but play both Manchester sides and Hull. If the next round of fixtures has Hull and Swansea drawing, Palace losing then Hull and Palace face each other next and Swansea away to Sunderland.Quote:

I can't see Swansea picking up 7 points from their last 3 games.Quote:

Interesting that diving gets a bad rep (deserved) but my bugbear is shirt pulling in the box. It is happening all the time yet I thought there was supposed to be a clamp down. Instant penalty and yellow card would stamp this out.
As long as Hull match the Jacks they are fooked :thumbup:
If they were able to do that, it would mean them going on a 5 game unbeaten run. Their longest unbeaten run this season in the league stands at 2 matches. Also, 11 points from 5 games would be their best of the season.Quote:

Neither Everton, nor West Brom have lost away to a side currently in the bottom 6.
Sunderland's away form to teams in the bottom half is abysmal - 7 defeats out of 8 and only 1 goal scored in those 7 games. The game they didn't lose was that extraordinary 4-0 win at Palace. At home against teams in the bottom half, they've only lost 3 of 8, failing to score in only 1 of those.
Swansea have only kept one clean sheet away from home this season, on the opening day. They haven't kept a clean sheet against a top half side at home all season, but have scored in all bar two of those games.
I reckon Swansea getting 7 points from those games would be pretty extraordinary.
Pompous prat! Have you tried responding on this website using an iPad? It's torture, trying to fend off the pop-up ads. If you had, you could excuse me the 'e' off 'incapable'. Why don't you mark my posting so we can all see the grammatical and spelling errors?Quote:

Me too. I predicted Hull would draw yesterday but that Swansea would lose today. That single point against Man Utd could be the clincher which means they would not have to rely on goal difference on the last day. (Assuming the rest of my predictions are correct of course!). Got to admire their fighting spirit fair play - would our lot be up for it if in the same situation?Quote:

I just think West Brom and Sunderland have nothing to play for. I was also impressed wth Swansea. They cut open United at will and looked nothing like a relegation side.Quote:

If you looked at Swansea's last 4 games, it would be quite easy to say defeats to Man Utd and Everton and wins against Sunderland and West Brom. Football doesn't always work like that. It would be just as likely that Swansea pick up something against the odds in those first two games as it is they'd drop points against expectations in the last two. Relegated sides with nothing to play for sometimes play with a freedom they didn't have. Swansea will be hoping this is the case next weekend, as will Hull the weekend after.
I think the order of fixtures is interesting, too. Next weekend, Swansea might be 5 points adrift before they kick off against Everton. That in itself adds pressure to the game. The weekend after, Swansea play first with Hull's game at Palace taking place on the Sunday. There could be a scenario where Hull need to win or they're in the bottom 3 going into the last Sunday of the season, or there could be another scenario where a win sees them safe.
It's a fascinating battle!
No excuses.Quote:

I can't stand this "engineering" penalties lark, especially when it's so readily accepted by pundits. It's gamesmanship at best and cheating at worst.
Harry Kane admitted he went down because he felt contact. He could have stayed on his feet and probably would have if the challenge was anywhere else on the pitch.Quote:

It's a difficult scenario to get stats for. In 2014-15, Burnley were 8 points adrift and certain for relegation with 3 games to go. Despite winning the next, they still went down along with QPR. Both teams managed to pick up a win in their last 2 games.Quote:
