Sunderland are safe and wont go down.....not when you have teams like Wigan,Wolves and West Ham at the bottom !!!

It's happened before.....although that was when a certain midlands team delayed the kickoff against a west country team on the last game of the season and played out a goalless draw after we had been beaten at everton. There are people still waiting to celebrate when a certain big chinned ex tv "expert" dies....see http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=577067

If you cant beat West Brom you deserve to go down,,,,,,,,When will Bruce get the chop?

Yes I feel the same Nookie after yesterdays performance.

You should be grateful for your premier league status......and the football being played now. It is much better than the garbage i had to endure on my visits to Joker Park in the 80's when i lived in the town,. Durban ( a much hated figure at cardiff 2 seasons and 2 relegations under his stewardship!!) and big Lawrie were in charge. I've spent 40 years following Cardiff up and down the bottom 3 divisions.....without a sniff of a place in the top league.Would quite happily swap places......pleeeeeeeeeeeease
