Sunderland (A) Build up.

[Yozza]

Any chance this might get called off due to the weather?

No.

It's the winter. It's the UK. It rains. We're used to it.

[Muddled]

I think Chazza meant with regards to the wind and crowd safety in and out of the stadium.

There are gale force winds forecast this morning in Sunderland and during the game.

I know I was being facetious....

Still can't see them postponing it though

[frank the tank]

Borini
Coutinho Gerrard
Moreno Lucas Henderson Markovic
Sakho Skrtel Can
Mignolet

Rumoured lined-up. Surely Borini doesn't get in ahead of Balotelli ffs

If that is the personnel today, then i wouldnt be surprised to actually see the team set up with Markovic further up the pitch, and Henderson right wing back with Gerrard in midfield sitting.

Not saying that i would like that.....i hate gerrard and lucas together in midfield and henderson at RWB is ****in horrible too.......

Pretty sure it's Manquillo and not Moreno. At least that's what the guy who's been posting the team news here said.

Sunderland is always one of the coldest places on earth, throw in the gale force wind and rain and it makes the game a total lottery. Definitely a day for long range shots, shame we don't have anyone capable these days.
