Firstly, at the start of April if you said we'd be in a position where a point against Hull would keep us up I would have snapped your hand off.

Also, I predicted that Sunderland, now relegated, would play without fear and get points. I actually wouldn't be at all surprised if they beat Swansea on Saturday.

Next week we're bound to have at least one or maybe two influential players back. I'm actually feeling pretty positive. The Hull defeat today is huge for them.

Lets hope the physio's work there magic during the week and we have a couple of players back.

How ironic it could big Sam's old club saving our bacon by beating Swansea.

Yep, the pendulum has certainly shifted onto Hulls shoulders today. They would of expected 3 points and be right up our coat sleeves after our mawling at Citeh. The Sat result will have a huge factor on our game. It may save us, Hull to go less gung ho or completely go for us the next day. All 3 could help us as long as we turn up for the last 2. Allardyce mentioned when he first took over that it was probably going to the last 2 games and he has been spot on, saying we would pull ourselves out of it then.

That's the spirit. And even if we lose, they still have to beat Spurs.

Wouldn't fancy that CF, win or draw against Hull then no need to hide behind the sofa !!

Absolutely right.
We always get tonked at Man City,and I think we all suspected nothing to play for Everton would lose at Swansea.
So Sunderland beating Hull was a huge unexpected bonus for us and we must take advantage of it.
