I think we have a good side and we could get even better during the season, but am also aware what a fine line there is between win, lose or draw. Looking at league positions only, it would be easy to think this game was a cinch, but Sunderland are doing well. We are still only a few games in....a few points make a big difference at this stage. A Sunderland win and they would be only 2 points behind us. Two teams hard to beat...Poyet has said that the first goal could be the important one. Think he is right, though we are better at coming back from behind than we were. Poyet also said he is looking forward to this game as we are a top club at the moment.
 
Betfair implied odds:

64% Saints win
13% Sunderland win
23% Draw

So, hard cash suggests we're going to win this. Hard cash presumably doesn't care about our history with them...

Just eating my tea now, hoping to find a stream to watch, listening to Saints player on my laptop. A bit late for me to be out and doubt I would find a bar showing Saints games.

Pay $5.50 to watch it on sportsnationhd.tv (you'll get a week's access to all games for that) and you'll not regret it - assuming you have decent bandwidth behind the great firewall of China you'll get near HD on a PC.
