Tiote looks energized today.

COME ON!!!

Do they have Nacho in the middle in the as well?

Stoke home: 21 for, 16 against Stoke away: 11 for, 29 against

According to Fox Soccer Channel's pregame show, we're playing a 4-4-2 with #18 Cabaye on the left wing and #4 Gonzalez at CM.

Yes! Chance to go within 3 points of 3rd with a game in hand and four points clear of Chelsea!

Torres. Lovely weighted pass to the keeper.

The last 3-4 minutes have been the best part of the game.

Starting to feel like someone will score.

No thanks. Doesn't do anything for me.

Yep can see them getting one from a corner in the 88th minute, probably off Terry's arse It would take something like that because they really don't look like scoring.

Perfect.

Is that their usual 11? I know Pennant is injured.

Wasn't even paying attention to Wenger's encouragement.

Just voted for the 6th time. 48.3%

Really glad Krul made it.

I'm absolutely giddy to watch us play. Such a joy these days. Prediction: 3-1 The pessimist in me sees 1-1, but I think we are better than that.

I love that the guy filming goes to Shola and Williamson passing for a second, then clearly thought "nah this won't be interesting" and went back to Mehdi.

Just voted on two co-workers computers. 45.7% Will vote again when I get home.

They're going to go broke at this rate. Pretty much a weekly occurrence now. The funniest thing about it is Man United players have done the same thing for years and gotten away with it. Ordinarily this kind of double standard pisses me off, but since it's Sunderland I'll just keep laughing.

Physioroom has Perch and Guthrie as late fitness tests.

Conversely, more exposure for NUFC regardless of what country it's in can only be beneficial.

As many have said, the top isn't as strong as it once was. I think the season as a whole has been incredibly exciting though. I'm sure there's some bias since we're doing so well, but even if it was Everton in our spot I'd still be looking forward to the race for 3rd/4th. Much more interesting than the 3-4 year run of of Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool just shuffling around the top-4. Plus it's likely the relegation battle will go down to the final day. No complaints from me.
