I promised never to take the Premiership for granted again, but its already happening. Just feels normal. Right now, I'm bricking it for Sunday. Always hated derby day so much, even when we were a lot better than them. Have some mackem 'mates' that are amongst the very best WUMers and this is when they're in their element. A nailed on blatant 1-1 draw.

haha brilliant! it was hardly worth the hassle. lucky boy though, don't know what'll happen to him next time...

I like Jack Collison.

There was a time in the 2nd half where he had a tracksuit over the suit

Another great game from lightbulb head. Just love him so much.....immense.

Chuffed for him tonight. The changes worked, the teamtalk worked and the suit worked. I just want him to succeed so badly.

Was very impressed with our performance (from 30 mins onwards). West Ham were beyond awful.....such a terrible terrible showing. Feel happy for Hughton because the pressure is slightly off now. Replacing Perch and putting the two streetlamps upfront worked. Just a quality feeling More of this please.

Sunderland 1-0

Scored 4 on the 'put it in the hole' thing.....not Helen!

Wrong thread. Belongs in 'Realistic Transfer Targets January 2011'.

I think Hughton will put him at RB because he'd be desperate to fit him in, but there'd be no reason to drop Mike/Colo. As a compromise, he accidently plays him in his strongest position.

Parker and Noble worry me. This one really could go either way, but I think a draw.

Not a hate article, but a couple of very baffling paragraphs by our favourite mackem journalist..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/oct/23/blackpool-newcastle-west-brom-promotion boldly attacking? climbing the goal charts (ignore 6-0)? positive tactics? i'd love to know which of our matches she saw.....

4 teams get promoted from league 2. Yeh, but why isn't league one/league two just 3 down/3 up as well? I might've brought this up in the past, actually.

While we're touching on this subject - if the Premiership and Championship normally relegate 3, why does League One relegate 4? Always found it a bit weird, because theres still just 24 teams.

2 to get relegated from the Championship, shirley?

Bet those at the masked gathering think they've convinced him to stay

I like that Shaqiri bloke at Basel. And no, thats not the saucy Colombian minx....

Why do people keep comparing this injury to Shearers? It was in response to the post above saying that Ben Arfa isn't an unknown quantity.

Jose kept him on as assistant and the Chelsea players often said great things about him. So thats promising.

This is weird.

And some thought he was clueless on here....maybe we should start the NO prediction league to beat them all

Tell that to Shearer...

dont know how likely it is, but i'd like to see nolan and carroll play on saturday. it could go either way, but i bet they'd be relieved to be playing again after the week they've had. some people react well to adversity.

Its funny watching everyone slag Rooney off on SSN. Bruce, Keane, McLeish etc. Ian Holloway went on a crazy rant about how wrong the Bosman ruling is too.
