Itâs The Official CanariesSoccer Match Center for the ballgame featuring: Canaries @ Black Cats [video=youtube;fwl8oJWRYDo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwl8oJWRYDo[/video] Live from Estadio Da Luzâ¢. Wednesday February 1st sees Canaries make the long trip along InterState1 to face off against Sunderland Black Cats. This mid-divisional EPL matchup could decide the fate of several million dollarsâ worth of vital rewards at series-end. Last time out for Canaries was a One versus Two victory against Baggies in the FA Superbowl, in that matchup score-attempts were converted by talismanic G. Holt, and a late fumble-recovery by Team Canada international S. Jackson. Coach Lambert: âI thought Jed Steer's saves were world class. He was terrific. It is only one game but he has a great temperament and a great enthusiasm for the game as well which is important. He is a really level-headed lad, which is probably more important than anything - but his handling was brilliant. His two saves at the end were exceptional â The matchup @ Baggies saw Canariesâ freshman score-attempt-preventer J. Steer make his first senior-XI appearance. An assured performance by the highly-rated youngster may have persuaded franchise fans that there is no need to strengthen their endzone-protection [insert innuendo here] in this seriesâ mid-season draft; a relief after D. Rudd was sent to the med squad in December. please log in to view this image Black Cats currently sit P10 in the EPL divisional-standings, one position and two-points below Canaries in P9. Their recent surge in form has coincided with the introduction of veteran EPL Coach M. OâNeill, who has effectively turned around their fortunes in a short number of matchups. Key to their success has been midfield-linesman S. Larrson, whose cross-field pass-play has exploited many of the EPLâs best de-fenses. Coach OâNeill: " The goal from Fraizer gave us a big, big lift and we thought we could win it from that point but that would have been harsh on Middlesbrough. Overall I'm delighted with the team but we need to play for 90 minutesâ . Last time these two Franchises met, Black Cats were defeated Two versus One @ The DeliaDome, despite having considerable spells of pressure. The most interesting battle this time round will be the battle of the Coaches, with Coach Lambert taking much of his inspiration from his time spent with Coach OâNeill @ Glasgow Celtics. Whether their two soccer-philosophies will cancel each other out remains to be seen, but expect an exciting ballgame! This sure is going to be a great Soccer matchup, so fill up your Coca-Cola⢠tankards, get your hot-dog's and grab a seat for this smash-and-grab matchup, brought to you exclusively on Not606!

Top drawer as usual PC, nice to be matched with a friendly bunch! Good humour and banter with no trouble! I can go back to sleep
We'll wake you if we need you, Dave please log in to view this image First class again PC, had me hooting with laughter.
No mention of Mid-Season Draft-Picks S Kyriakos and W Bridge? They are top quality linebackers, but two new signings coming straight into the side could unsettle the defensive line?
Hopefully the Black Cats will destroy a few canaries - a nervy 6-0 win for the Black Cats....... Ha Ha - meant 1-0. Bart
We'll nick this one, 2-1. Good look you Brazilian looking, funny sounding people. I think all 3 promoted sides are staying up, is this a first if it happens?
Sorry this is off topic, but has anyone got Everton Man City on? Apparently, some guy has handcuffed himself to the goalpost!!!!
I think we'll edge it but I wouldn't take the voting by Sunderland fans as a sign of cockiness by us... I guess we're all just still being swept along by the O'Neill factor at the moment. Glad to see you lads back and doing so well.
