The Cat and the Canary are soon to meet Each in their own seaworthy boat, For either or both it would be quite a feat If in May, they were still well afloat, And not just for them, but for the bottom ten Or so, the picture is the same, Any result seems possible, when Any two of them meet in a game, Cats seem to win every game in the Cup With notable victories there, But their league form is hard to dress up To more than just average fare, Canaries the same, have been both hot and cold With some ´cold´ more arctic in fact, But each tÃme they hit some storm winds they´ve been bold In the next game, and so they´ve bounced back, And in these quick-fire times of sacking folk Chris Hughton is still at the wheel, Universally acknowledged as ´a good bloke´ Even on Wearside he may appeal, And after a time with P. Di Canio The Cats said enough is enough, And waved farewell to that fiery cameo Hoping Poyet can do his stuff, So what to expect this coming Saturday When predator hosts the wee bird, Although the moggy likes stalking its prey In flight, the canary is assured, Can fleet-footed Redmond adjust his sat nav When preparing his feet to shoot, Who knows what sort of day we might have If Hooper can cash in, to boot, But I think a stalemate would seem on the cards On the long road, which ends in May, And for both, a point, would edge them forwards To the next encounter on their way.

Great stuff RBF, I too would take a draw right now but I'm hoping for a win, I don't want to see the Black Cats in trouble, I'd just prefer it if they got their points elsewhere!
Excellent appraisal RBF, but as RM2 says, we really need to pick up wins (though it won't be easy against the teams around or below us. Whoever plays will have to work hard and not gift 'the cats' any goals though.
Although they may have got a lift from their recent Cup exploits, they might find they´re in danger of doing a Wigan or a Birmingham and sacrificing their league place for a good Cup run, 3 points would warm greatly up there.
