    Nothing like the feel good factor when approaching a two week break.
    Utd have three games during that time.
    We've got a massive chance of doing this.

    I would say pretty much as solidly as they did against Liverpool. Rather good, IMO. They looked like a couple of good CBs who knew what the other would do. However, I'm biased as I rate Maya much higher than many.

    Well I'll take the correct score prediction any day of the week. I wonder if he will get the hat trick in the next game? What game is next? :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Btw, a bit random, but who was it who said Gabby looks like Holder from the killing?

    I agree!

    The game pretty much started as I thought it would, with Sunderland flying, but we were too disciplined and held a good shape.
    I'm glad Sunderland changed to a back four, second half, as it released JWP from trawling the right touch line, where he was quite ineffective. Massive improvement when he went more central.
    I think Claude is one of the most tactically astute managers we have had for a while.
    Some stand out performances from Barry, Oriol and, given our concerns, Stephens against Defoe.
    I kept hearing the commentators talk about Barry's first going in off his arm, but I like to think O'Shea tugging him back by his right arm/shoulder just about turned him into the right position to deflect the ball goalwards. The commentators missed that, potential penalty.

    I've always felt he was an ok deputy, in the past 2 seasons he has matured into a good player. I'd be lying if I said I would have yoshida over fonte but as a long term player yoshida is better for the club.

    It's fine Sadio, you can score today. We won 4-0 - nothing can ruin this mood.

    Soooo we win away from home, score 4 goals for the first time this season and keep a clean sheet. One of our strikers scores twice and Jack Stephens looks calm and assured next to Maya at the back. We are 2 points from the top ten and 10 points clear of the bottom three...funny what difference 90 minutes make isn't it?

    Edit: Plus we've got Wembley to look forward to!...<badger>
    And I forgot to say that Dusan looked back to his best today.

    Who's moaning? Jay won't be here. He didn't play today, so threw his shin pads across the dugout. The other game he started to punch one of the chairs. He's clearly pissed off.
