We've dropped very deep, Ba totally isolated. Even when he can make it stick there's nobody running off him.

They're playing better now, need to get on top of this.

Free kick floated to Williamson.

HORLED OFF

Think we could push Jonas into the centre and compress the midfield and have HBA playing deep off Ba.

Occasionally ?? They go to him every 5-10 minutes for his stupid thoughts. Obviously he's a turd the rest of the time but at least i don't have to listen to him then.

Micky Gray is on talksport occasionally and he's a complete turd.

Ba's not a target man, we can't keep booting it at him.

Wish Cattermole was playing, least it would be 10 vs 10.

Cabaye gave him the eyes. Martin Atkinson's pregnant now.

Get away, he challenged and Fletcher's follow through meant he kicked his leg. Reckless yellow for me.

Has Ba dropped back into midfield? Looks like he's playing deeper and Cabaye has dropped back to DM. Kind of a diamond formation with Shola alone up front.

No way a red.

I really think Jonas is a better CM than LW now.

Benny needs to calm down a bit.

Jesus wept, keep it away from the right side of our defence, Willo and Simpson seem to have something personal against the ball. Hoof hoof hoof from them.

Artie's bought a new tracksuit for this.

HOOOOOWWWWAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!

Pre-match show just started, HOWAY!

This is going to be the worst game of football this season.

Just home from work, day off tomorrow, plenty of beers cooling in the fridge, just need 3 points now. HBA hattrick, Shola to lob their keeper from our own penalty area and Krul to score an overhead kick after playing a one two off Artie Ziff's face.

Better than the generic anodyne rubbish footballers usually come out with anyway.

Tomorrow. It's fucking tomorrow, can't wait. 8:30pm kick off here so perfect, just hope we bloody stuff them. HOWAY!

Weird thing, I was watching some old Auf Wiedersehen Pet episodes last night and the one where Sunderland are playing in Belgium against Liege came on. Dennis and Oz went along to cheer them on and got on well with the Sunderland fans there and even wore Sunderland scarves. My dad when I was growing up displayed none of the animosity towards them we see now, he used to say he wanted all the north east teams to do well. I just wonder how much the hatred and bitterness has been stoked by the sky hype and how much was genuinely there pre 92. A little before my time so maybe some of our elder brethren can enlighten us.
