Warnock may be a tubby moaning **** but he's right.

That was a terrible decision. The Man City player keeping the Palace guy onside was 3 yards from his face and missed it. And the stripe on the pitch was a dead giveaway

[Gibbo]

Benteke looks to be getting back to his good form.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Benteke looks to be getting back to his good form.

Too early to tell I reckon. He seemed to be lacking a bit of spark last season as well after his very good form in the season before that again.

[Chazza]

Coates starting now for Sunderland after their LB gets injured in the warm up.

[SK]

Samy Ameobi is the worst player i've seen since Shola Ameobi

Great tackle by Coates

[Chazza]

Someone is getting sent off.

Colback or Wickham I reckon.

[Chazza]

****ing ouch!

[Gibbo]

Taylor diving headbutting the post, you heard that.

[Chazza]

Sunderland should be winning this.

Had the better chances but can't finish.

[Bender]

Sunderland should be winning this.

Had the better chances but can't finish.

[Chazza]

Coates has looked half decent.

[Chazza]

Sunderland have only gone and bloody nicked it.

[RedReet]

Coates has looked half decent.

Played well. Hope he gets a bit of a run in the side now to see how he does.

I wonder who their normal LB cover is, if he'll come in or they'll keep the same line-up as today.

[Gibbo]

Van Aanolt isn't it? But he's injured too.
