Cant see us winning today! Merely due to the fact it will probably give us breathing space! As supporters of SAFC we are not entitled to breathing space! I'm particularly expecting a shooting ourselves in the foot, brain dead, confidence sapping, back to square one, soundly beaten type of performance!!!
This is just the type of game we don't turn up for. Crowd gets a little expectation after the Derby result and the players don't look interested. Let's hope the new manager is on top of this. I wouldn't allow Bridcutt anywhere near the 1st team. I worry about the pace of Palace. pardew will have them up for this. O'shea and Vergini could have a torrid afternoon. They both terrify me. I am being negative I know. Okay catts is a big plus. Hopefully Rodwell to start. The three up front does seem to be creating chances. For me it's a big game for Fletcher. He can get up for the derby it's days like today he goes missing. I sense a tough afternoon but if the lads put the effort in they can win it. Very hard game though. Ha'waaaaaay!
**** me this thread just got depressing. Off to the match anytime now, NO expectations but intent wearing out what I've managed to recover in my voice since last week.
Girls reckon 2-0, quite precise aswell, goal on half time goal on full time, defoe brace I'd buy that for a dollar

Dick Advocaat has made one change to the side that were victorious in the Wear-Tyne derby last weekend. Sebastian Larsson misses out against Crystal Palace after picking up his 19th yellow card of the season; today’s match will be the first of his two game ban. Jack Rodwell comes in for the Swede, after recovering from the knock that kept him out of the Newcastle clash. Elsewhere, Will Buckley returns to the squad, the winger is on the bench today as he continues his comeback after coming through the under-21s’ win over Southampton on Monday. Sunderland: Pantilimon, O’Shea, Vergini, Jones, van Aanholt, Cattermole, Gomez, Rodwell, Fletcher, Wickham, Defoe. Subs: Bridcutt, Johnson, Reveillere, Graham, Coates, Mannone, Buckley. Crystal Palace: Speroni, Ward, Dann, Bolassie, Zaha, Jedinak, Murphy, McArthur, Delaney, Souare, Puncheon. Subs: Hangelaand, Sanogo, Hennessey, Gayle, Ameobi, Ledley, Kelly.
Van Aanholt had Zaha in his back pocket when we beat them in November, and more than matched him for pace.
I'm watching spurs villa, and villa way in front. Spurs are woefull. How's the game at home? Sounds like not much going on.....
