I was reading their forum posts and they seem a bit gutted by the squad they have, Ryan Porteous seems like a liability.

Andrews their right back apparently isn't much of a defender.

So if they're selected, I'd hope we can get after them.
I’m always the pessimist when it comes to supporting Sunderland. It probably comes with age and being let down far too frequently.
But I’m going to predict a win for us based on our current form.

It's becoming more difficult to predict a defeat because it feels like you're betraying a bunch of decent honest kids doing their best ...

... much easier when it was twisty mercenaries like Rodwell, Graham, Gibson ad infinitum.

I used to hate every player, now I like them all ... what a turnaround.
 
Never want to predict a loss for the lads but defeats will happen ie Plymouth.
Think this might be a good time to catch these mind I thought the same a fortnight ago.
This division is very difficult to say any result is nailed on.
 
... before RTB jumps in with his little effort, bless him <laugh>

Watford seemed to have landed on a gem with Tom Cleverley but he's only won 7 of 17 games now and Watford were all over the place at Norwich where they lost 4-1 and should've been more. They've not won in their last three games so I'm hoping they'll be a bit too eager to attack and allow us in behind.

They also have a trip to Man City, tomorrow night, where I'm hoping they're still in the game until the end, penalties would be nice to drain them a bit further. Cleverly will be keen to have a go at Man City as he was at United for years.

I was due to go but the tickets are scarce, Watford is always popular and, 'for some reason' wink wink, the demand this time was crazy. I did have a ticket but I've let one of our exiles have it having booked flights on the off chance.
It's a bit off the wall but my three permanent memories of Watford are singing 'Sunderland staying up, Mags are going down' for almost an entire game, a League Cup quarter final we won with a massive deflection and trudging through the allotments from the pub to the ground.

Oh, and singing rude songs about Rocket Man <laugh>

My memory is 8 0 and SAFC fans doing the conga on the terraces.I was at the other end that day sat on the terraces watching the goals flow.
And of course the league cup win
