As usual I will be there. Pething101, are you going to TSOL?

SAFC are in pretty good form at the moment. Well someone has to end their good run I suppose.

Seriously I am not that optimisitc about this one. Our form has been dodgy lately especially last week with two early goals and Repka acting up again. Hope he is not starting today.

I have something to complain about after every visit to TSOL so expect some more complaining here when I get back.

The last time I swear McCarthy knew we only has one good winger in the form of Etherington so the player went for him, took him out the game in the first half, forcing Harewood to be played wide right and McAnuff (I think) out left. We all know how easily we crumble with no quality wide players.

Anyway here's hoping we get something out of the game today, even if it is only a draw.

Give 'em a shout for me Chris.

IMHO Sunderland are due a slip and I think we've got the players to make it happen today.

Williams is due to complete his transfer today so I hope the current midfield will be out to show that they should be selected ahead of the new kid.

Repka's mistake last week was the first for a while and after it he was rock solid by all accounts, I don't think he'll be in a hurry to repeat his error.

Rebrov should be starting and I expect nothing short of greatness from him today and with Teddy back in the squad, although unlikely to figure in today's game, Harewood might be wise to raise his game if he doesn't want to be benched next week. (I'd like to think that Zamora may be sparked into life too, but I'm not counting on it).

All in all I'd be happy with a draw, but I'm predicting that we'll nick all 3 points.

3-1 to The Hammers sounds about right.

COME ON YOU IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone, it's nice to see Teddys back. 70th minute sub with the winning goal?
