Sunderland away pre-match thread

[George Hannah]

delph injured?

calf?

 

[Oyster28catcher]

So after today Hart will overtake Dunne for Premier League club appearances.

 

[Mr HJ]

Why is that?

Probably because Zabba is a leader and we need one!

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Great forward pairing tonight

 

[welsh_andy]

actually feeling confident tonight

 

[remember arthur mann]

Watch out David S for that twat Cattermole, utter ****

If he passes the ball immediately instead of hanging on, he'll be ok, same goes for Kun !

 

[Machiavelli]

He's been a brilliant servant for us with so much more to come as well.

 

[marco]

decent team, no disrespect but it is Sunderland and no reason that team cant score a bag full, i'd imagine sterling will come on at some point

 

[bobmcfc]

Got my prosecco chilling in the fridge. So excited for the match

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The way Jeff is talking you'd be forgiven for thinking we've re-appointed Steve Coppell.

I know you mean no disrespect, but they are fighting for their Prem status and as someone previously mentioned earlier, they will not be the pushover their league position would suggest. Still think we should win, but not by "a bag full"

Ok. I thought the fact that he played a RB over the weekend was good enough reason to bench him for this game. This was expected and correct.

Yaya and Silva are back. We have leaders.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Ha ha ! Poor old Thommo is "worried" for Manchester City. What's going to happen to the academy ? Why has he only got a 3 year contract ?

 

[Yates]

Why is that?

Zaba is a leader and has looked great since being back, also offers a great attacking outlet at times. Not saying anything against Sagna, I'm OK with him playing just prefer Zab

 

[Dax777]

Not to mention the squad has some talent

 

[pudge]

Would rather Sterling play, if anything he's be "on form" recently. Don't get why he's so easily dropped.

Is that alcohol?

Play over David?

 

[Oyster28catcher]

"Beware of black cats" is said for a reason

 

[pudge]

Play over David?

Out wide? Certainly.
