Well, Saturday morning and waking up with a bacon sarnie and a hot cup of tea following last nights debate on formations and line ups...full of nervous hope and expectation that we could just win and set ourselves up to be practically safe if we win next week as well and results go our way. Will that hope be gone by 3pm, I really hope not but that is life as a Sunderland fan - for the record I love the quiet and respectful way that Advocaat is handling the media, a true gent, and I hope Whatmore does get a run out today to surprise/occupy Everton's back four...good luck to whichever 11 he picks and please bring us back 3 points!!!!
Oshea out, that can get not be a good thing right? Not for us, but your chances of getting a positive result
Brown and Coates? Or Coates dropped for Santi after shaky display last week? Glad Wes is back, maybe our best 1v1 defender to deal with Lukaku
My view is that we have to score in this game to even manage a draw. I think there might be a few goals if we end up chasing the game.
Cheers Tobes. Can you put that to Martinez and the team to ensure it please!!! Not like you need them is it?
Some interesting odds being offered around. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/betting/mcguvnor-betting-guide-west-brom-5663086 "Bet of the day Get on Sunderland at 4-1 to win at Everton." Also, just for fun ........ 08:00, 9 May 2015 By Derek McGovern "Despite slaughtering defender Mike Williamson on Saturday, interim boss John Carver was earlier this week given a stay of execution - he was told by fans 'if you stay we'll execute you.' Carver looks a man so out of his depth you half-expect him to turn up at his press conference wearing water wings. He told reporters earlier this week that he believes he's the best coach in the Premier League - he probably wasn't even the best coach in the room."

Horrible looking fixtures today. If we lose (quite likely) the four immediately above us all go into decent home games with a boost. By the way, why do Jake whatever and those BT lot hate us so much? He always slates us.
Three upfront, what almost everyone was asking for ....... looks like he's going for it and, let's face it, we need to.
We played well that day, but we also played well last week, hopefully we'll have more of the same today
They really want us to go down. Did Jake Humphries say we hadn't been short of luck this season?!?! Hope his beloved Norwich get tonked
Sunderland fans stuck on motorway and will miss kick off. How many times do we hear of delayed kick offs when other clubs have fans stuck in traffic ?
Unbelievable isn't it!! Half our fans stuck cos of a crash... Well let's start the game anyway. Bet if it was Man U or Chelsea they'd delay kick off
