Let's not concede two like last time.

Anyway, I won't be able to watch this tomorrow as I have exams unfortunately so I'll be avoiding all footy related sites from noon till the early evening.

On vacation, so gonna miss this one as well.
2+ goals and a clean sheet will do me fine though.

I'm predicting two goals until we have a game that goes differently.

This is going to be a tougher game than Hull City. Bent and Jones can give us some trouble, and I don't expect the diamond to click just yet.

Crap, didnt know we had a game so soon. Well boys, lets get another 3 pts.

Methinks this will be a tough one. Sunderland have improved by leaps and bounds since they came up and are a bona fide Premier League team atm with a solid manager. Not only that, but we are going way up narf on a Tuesday night and it's their first home match. If we scrape a win I will be pleased.

would not be suprised to see Ivanovic deployed at RB for this one

as for the rest- I think you are spot on.

Looks like they are getting Mensah on loan from Lyon, certainly not in time for this game which is good news.

Bruce is quietly building a good squad, although they do need to upgrade on the defensive end.

Indeed. Hopefully another 2-1 but I can see a 1-1 draw happening as well.

I wish we had a name like "The Stadium of Light".

Deco to score 5 and fernb8 to fly to New Zealand to stab me.

I quite like having a stadium named for the site of one of the most iconic battles of the Middle Ages.

I was gonna say, Stamford Bridge is one of the best stadium names in the world. There is at least one more Stadium of Light in the world and it's a better venue.
