got a fancy on Sunderland today. I have thought pretty much all year that they have to win sometime. And thus far they have disappointed.
Fulham have several injuries (Helguson, Diop poss) and are suffering after the battles of the festive season. Sunderland are pretty much unaffected by injury and in anycase, the second string players are just as crap as the first string players.
Le Tallec, Whitehead and Stead were unlucky not to score. They should have had a second half penalty and the man that should have walked for the handball was Cahill. Arr its tough at the bottom when everything you do stinks. I think rather than being dispondant, they are going to be fearless. Its a cliche that clubs play better when theyre doomed (dooomed I tell ye Mr Mainwaring) but I think this is starting to show for the Maccams. Nothing to lose, everything to gain
Newcastle are in tatters at the moment. Boro are playing terribly too at the moment. Both teams woefully inconsistant. I cant see the "Souness oot" campaign will aid Newcastle's cause one jot, if the 'right' Boro team turn up, the Smoggies are capable of compounding the situation further.
