Ugh, Leicester's final five game schedule is brutal to say the least.

Everyone plays everyone. If we're good enough we'll get the 3 wins we need.

Whatever it's been a fantastic season.

Ton of points? Only remember Newcastle at Emirates and maybe Stoke away.

Remember the Joe Allen equalizer at Anfield that basically ruined your season? That's the type of save you expect a keeper like him to make.

It's not about what you remember. It's about what actually happened. What you can remember in your brain is not the entire world.

Name me all the games he won you points.

He cost you against Liverpool. Ruined your season.

For someone who watches so much football you make some stupid statements my friend.

Watching the relegation battle.

Kaboul has really impressed me recently - haven't watched Sunderland much before now. Expect a Norwich win though.

Kaboul, kirchoff (sp) Dafoe is a nice spine.

Why have they done so badly this year?

Maybe it's because they have Van aanholt :D

Kaboul will give you the occasional good game, but for the most part he's been pony since about 2012. Total liability, too slow to defend anyone faster than a tortoise. Catermole and lately Kirchhoff have been the impressive ones for Sunderland, imo.

Defoe is good though, shame he's playing with a bunch of donkeys.

I thought catermole was decent a couple of seasons back but have been unimpressed this season when I've watched them. today he's doing okay though.

Well, he used to be a walking yellow card, but he hasn't been booked in 9 games now I believe. He's also played fairly well over that stretch, I think.

Either way, if it stays this way this is probably the result that the Geordies need. Norwich getting more points would be curtains for them.

edit: Gotta love Defoe, great play by Kirchhoff too

Thought he should have been for the previous tackle.

Still 2 good clearances.

He'd be great at championship level.

Yeah, he's a battler. A good defender against less technical sides.

City look like they're in good form to finish the season. Hopefully they can counter attack just as well against RM

West Ham afraid to shoot in the box and get bailed out by the pen. Finally they help Spurs.

Shocked that wasn't a pen, probably a worse one than the one West Ham got

We still have to beat Stoke, though. Bogey ground for us, too.
