Can Wanderers Mackem pay? - Official Match Thread

[Bruce Rioja]

even Big Sam calls it the barclayspremierleague in his punditry!? are they all on a bonus for every mention?

Possibly. When I worked in the drinks industry it was common knowledge that footballers were on £60 a go from SKB everytime they took a swig out of those turquoise Lucozade bottles (it'll be a lot more now) during post-match interviews, despite them being full of water.

She's late!

Appalling

[Salford Trotter]

I'm in the Nat Lofthouse Suite for this one, lording it up with the privileged

[jmjhb]

Do Sunderland have any players left? They all seem to be injured.

[boltonboris]

Our home form is excellent.

Sunderland haven't won for 11 years.



0-2 Sunderland then

[BWFC_Insane]

Our home form is excellent.

Sunderland haven't won for 11 years.


0-2 Sunderland then

Beat Wigan last game but one did they not?

[seanworth]

Thought we lost to Sunderland at home last year under the management of the M word.

[TKIZ!]

Thought we lost to Sunderland at home last year under the management of the M word.

Aye, 1-0. Darren Bent, first game of the season

[boltonboris]

Our home form is excellent.

0-2 Sunderland then

Beat Wigan last game but one did they not?

Okay.. They've won once in the last 11 years

[Tombwfc]

Just seems odd that we'd go a whole season without losing to a shit team at home (Hodgson's Liverpool not withstanding). Like that Reading home game a few years ago.

Would be fairly embarrasing if they beat us though, given their complete lack of options.

Oops sorry I read that incorrectlly. Thought you meant that they hadn't won at Bolton in 11 years. Missed the sarcasm entirely.

Match preview...

[Lofthouse Lower]

Sunderland will be without Kieran Richardson and Lee Cattermole for the final three games of the season.

Richardson, 26, has a stress fracture in his left leg and fellow midfielder Cattermole, 23, has a back injury.

They will both miss Premier League matches against Bolton, Wolves and West Ham, with Richardson's injury the more worrying.

[CrazyHorse]

Can't say I'm the slightest bit worried about Richardson's injury.

Aye, 1-0. Darren Bent, first game of the season

Aye. Playing 4-5-1 at home against a team that we'd dicked 4-0 in one of the last games of the season before.

Oh aye, awful game

Anyway depends on how much we want it tomorrow....they only have 10 fit first teamers.

If steiner isn't fit I'd much rather see a specialist right back play so that means the kid from the reserves. Think we may have a couple of kids on the bench actually, Connoly has been making a bi of noise this week, could be on purpose the club let him out into the spotlight? Anyway be interesting...Catermole will be key for them, could dominate a midfield with Cohen and Gardner or whoever in.

Sturridge should play anyway so that will be a big plus for us.

Struggling to work up enthusiasm for it anyway, a bit like the players!

I believe Cattermole is also injured
