Weird thing with Collocini at the end was that he didnt even head over to us, he just sorta clapped a little in the centre circle and wandered off, he did look like he was wiping tears as wl. Dunno if it was Carver but one of our lot came on the pitch and had his arm round him as he came off. Would of hoped if it was his last game that he'd of headed over to the away fans for a goodbye of sorts. We'll see what this week brings i guess

To be fair Gardners knee does touch bale on the back of his knee. Enough to go down? Maybe. Definately not an out and out dive.

Not confident for this one at all. Just after a Europa game, opposition in good form, Allardyce, Carroll and Nolan returning, it'll probably be raining, got all the ingredients for a thoroughly depressing day.

Really hope we go with Perch and Collocini rather than Williamson. Them two perform like they did at home to Liverpool we're on to a winner.

Graeme Rowell ‏@eihcra1980 Tim krul starts Not sure how reliable..he's tweeting from inside the tunnel tho

Dunno how im feeling really. Ive been ill since Wednesday and only starting to feel better now, in a weird way I think it's actually helped my state of mind for this derby cause its put my mind on something else. Saying that now I am starting to feel alive again the sick feeling of nerves is all coming in one go tonight. It feels like it's their time, i keep thinking of silly little omens that don't really mean anything but just make me worry anyway, like the last time this game at the SOS was actually on tv they beat us and stuff like that. We have the better 11 players, no doubt about that, but I have no confidence at all in us because we've been shite nearly every game this season. They've hardly been great but O'Neill knows how to set a team up for a derby. I am always happy with a draw at their place so i'd take that again, I dont think we have it in us to go there and win, i really don't. Just do not lose!

Am hearing we're going to be wearing our third kit...atkinson not happy with the clash of stripes apparently.

Can see Dortmund winning this like, match feels a lot like City/Napoli from last season, can see Dortmund winning it on the counter.

He most likely hasn't then.

I'm never 100% over anything in life man, nothing is certain until its certain and all that, things can happen. It may well be what is "expected" of us to not go for these players but it still pisses me off. Don't care what anyone says, Johnson, Dempsey and Fletcher would comfortably improve us like.

Well aye it is what it is. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm 90% sure this time tomorrow Dempsey will be a Sunderland player. I don't like it.all, just like you lot and i think that's where the doubt etc comes from but yanno. Frustrates me more that we aren't trying for this type of player, fucking Sunderland man.

Aye but thing with Dempsey is he's burnt his bridges completely with Fulham so he has to go, Liverpool are fucked really because of their actions attempting to sign him so if no one else comes in, which its not looking like there is at the minute other than Roma but apparently he wants to stay in England. I've been told he was at Sunderland.this weekend for talks and whilst he'd prefer to go Liverpool just like Johnson would have preferred Tottenham he's not.against signing for Sunderland. So basically he can't stay at Fulham, Liverpool have more or less cocked it up its only really Sunderland who are left with a serious offer. Don't want to pretend to be ITK or anything because I'm not but lad who told me this does get to know some shit, heard about Johnson serious interest last weekend etc

Dempsey is signing for them tomorrow btw. Pretty much confirmed from what ive heard. Annoying to say it like but Dempsey and Johnson are fucking good signings for anyone thats outside the top 4, I'd if been delighted had we signed them.

Them red nets look shit like.

On the train now, fucking air con is broke! Near York now so still got an hour of this! Sweating like Wayne Rooney in an old peoples home. Fuck sake east coast

Oh fucking hell still not here, bloody Chelsea ticket has arrived.today tho, typical. Saturday is gonna be a right ballache, at least an hour spent queing. brilliant.

Still not got mine like, bit worrying seeing as most are saying they've got theirs now. Be really fucking pissed off if i have to waste time queing ar the box office when I could be in the pub.

Not nervous at all tbh. I've already accepted 5th, which is a phenomenal achievement in itself anyway, so anything else will be a bonus. Just going to enjoy the next few hours, whatever happens, City game on the TV, us on the laptop, lager flowing, what Sundays are made for.

I think one was a paper cup - unlikely to have done too much damage Doesnt matter what it is like, just throwing anything on the pitch at someone is fucking stupid.

Chelsea are gonna win the champions league like so we need to finish 3rd...relying on fucking Villa or Blackburn to help us out...

Cisse limping at the end like?!
