"It looks as though we'll lose him for a few weeks and that’s a really big blow. Anyone who has watched our games will tell you what he is like. His hamstring just isn’t right so it looks like we are going to have to take more time over it. It will probably keep him out for a while. We originally thought it would be a mild hamstring injury and we gave it extra time and I was actually expecting him to be available a couple of weeks ago. I rested him in our next game in the hope that he would be right for the last game the weekend just gone. We gave it extra days to get him right but we will now need to take even more time, unfortunately. He will be a big miss for us because he gives us a different attacking dimension from what we have got.” ----------- Sound familiar? Moyes on Kevin Mirallas who was out for a few weeks with his hamstring. Came back and was taken off at half time vs Spurs and now probably won't be back until next month, which is a big blow considering he's arguably our most creative attacking outlet. Sounds very familiar. If there's something wrong with Ben Arfa's hamstring then it's surely madness to play him. You're asking for trouble.

Shouldn't... laugh... but... :lol:

Guess I'm not the only one who forgot about this.

Think Boro will take it to extra time.

Very strong Barca team tonight. Then again there's a barely a weak one.

Credit to Sunderland, they were definitely up for it last night and came out of the blocks fast. But it's hard to ignore the fact Reading were awful. Completely devoid of any ideas and if they're going to play like that for most of the season then even QPR have a better chance of avoiding relegation than they do. The worrying things is Reading scored 2 against us and we were very lucky to come away with a point against them. Having said that we were unlucky with 10 men not to beat the dirty stinking mackems. The worrying thing is Reading scored 2 against us and beat us. What a farce, they're absolute wank.

Sessegnon captaincy boosts it up to 68 for that GW.

We gave them their one fucking win!

WAHEY!!!!!!!

Shit penalty.

Bahahahaha.

Cazorla saved!

Love a good pella shootout.

aye- spells worse than an abysmal reading tbh. They won the game because they were a lot more hungry than Reading. In many ways it summed up Sunderland - it'll be good enough to stay clear of relegation but lacking quality to do anything of any note. They'll finish 13th/14th, again.

Sunderland had an excellent start which was enough to win the game. Big chunks of it they were shite. Which tells you everything you need to know about Reading. Going to take a miracle to keep them up.

4-1 Villa.

Balls.

Villa 3-1.

Villa 2-1.

There are, doing really well on FIFA at the moment.

Cracking point we got down there If you thought your point was bad...

Lots of goals!

Bahahahaha. (Bradford 1-0, wasn't just laughing wildly at random).

Sunderland v Reading has been a really good game so far.
