Fuk me I got shot down for claiming their result against Chelsea could benefit us. But I agree with everything you said, as it's pretty much what I said in an earlier thread before being called an idiot etc

All they'd have been doing is waiting for the R to be pencilled next to their name and be put of their misery but now they have something to play for. They beat us (which will happen IMO) then they go ahead of us and better yet (for them) they go outside of the relegation spots if results go their way despite a week ago they'd just suffered another demoralising defeat to Everton, they'd had no win in the league since January with trips to City and Chelsea away coming up. Yet they picked themselves up and got 4 points and became the 2/3rd side to beat a Mourinho team away from home in the league. How on earth does that benefit us? Their morale is through the roof, now we have to worry about YET another team trying to get 17th when last week every man and their dog had Sunderland down.
But oh well, now they have something to play for so that is good for us? Did you know that teams notoriously play shit when they have nothing to play for? Also why the f**k would a side who hadn't won since January (this is if they didn't beat and drew at City and Chelsea for any dullards confused) and pretty much relegated all of a sudden just play well? Most of them are out of contract this season so they'd have their minds on their holiday or getting out of that mess of a club.
Just to sum it up, Sunderland winning BENEFITS US IN NO WAY at all. Regardless of what spin you try to put on it.

These results for Sunderland are good becauseIf you played Sunderland and they had nothing to play for then they could be awesome.... Yet it is also good but because Chelsea have nothing to play for they will be crap.
Where is the logic there then? Or is it all just a load of rubbish?
Its like a Liverpool fan saying (hypothetically of course) "Chelsea winning their last 3 is good because now they have something to play for when we play eachother and wont be loose and free" - yeah they have the title to play for the same thing as you are trying to win you idiot.
Sunderland looked dead and buried and are now probably the ones looking most likely to survive, how those resuts can be deemed as "good" is nothing short than a Paddy and Murphy joke.

Also, if Liverpool beat Chelsea that's the league over for the latter, so how much zip will they then have against Norwich in their next game having played a CL semifinal only a few days before?

I qualified it Jack f**k. Chelsea May have a champions league final to play for.
Also if a team is down or thinks it's down players are going to try and make a last impression to get a move. They will play with no pressure and express themselves. Now Sunderland will go from massive underdogs away from home in front of hopeful but not expectant away fans to playing at home in front of expectant home fans.

You aren't going trawling because it doesn't exist, quite simply.
What the heck do norwich's chances of winning have with Sunderland?
If you are going to make up quotes from me then please at least make then believable
