Cattermole and Cana were amazing in midfield against­ Bolt-On. Jones and Bent really plagued the defence­ until albrabque and Richardson had to be withdrawn.­ I'd love to see the Cats win, and the way they­ played against Chelski at SoL last season plud the team­ strngthening SB has done give me hope that we can push­ them even harder this time. I know they're probably­ the champions-elect, but they have to lose sooner or­ later. Let's hope it's sooner (as in TONIGHT!)­ To be honest, as long as we give them a game to­ remember, I'd even settle for them winning (as long­ as it's not like the Everton-Arsenal result. Losing­ to a team like the Blues isn't the end of the­ world, after all.

I reckon you go easy on flash, it's obvious­ he and R.K never got on, like perhaps he gets on with­ Stevie Mackem Bruce.This statement is in know way meant­ to reflect bad on Marty who is sensational at the­ minute, but we must have two top international keepers­ "and we have"

if Gordon was in goal we would defo loose the­ game,and we do have cover for the other positions. I­ personally do not wish to see Gordon between the sticks­ again wearing our shirt.

i'm very optimistic on this one, but without steed,­ reid and da silva still need match fitness and gordon­ still sidelined....i doubt we can get a result­ here..

BUT STILL....C'MON SUNDERLAND!!!!!

i think we will be a hard team to break down this­ season wit cattermole & cana protecting the back­ line. son that basis i fancy us to get a draw. ­ chelsea will win te epl this season mr finks. cmon­ sunderland

If hes injured dont take the risk of playing him, there­ is cover in Tanio and or Richardson on the right with­ Reid on the left we also have G Leadbitter for the­ middle as well and cattermole or Cana will teach him.

­ I reckon we could sneak a result at home 2-1 s/land­ ,I would be happy with a draw if we cant sneak a win.

I'm with Jack on this one, the only thing we can­ realistically expect to gain from this game is a pie at­ half time. Title contenders they most certainly are!!!­ Although small miracles do happen and a draw would be­ excellent.I'll have the reciept for that now­ thanks.

jack.. i know what your saying but after watching hull,­ don't see why we cant win 1 or 2-0

that's better man,though I'd take 1-1 now

fair enough, sunderland 1-0

p.s Sean A Can you let me know the name of your dealer­ ? that's some serious Ganja you must be smoking­ man

Steed had one of the highest 'assist' rates in­ the whole league last season,really don't want to­ lose him for such a big game

we will win, safc 2
­ chelsea 0

pity it could be a good match if they have their­ strongest team
