Not having a go at you Mike but I don't see why everyone wanted to avoid Chelsea. It's obvious that they are a pile of wank this season and even if we got them at Stamford Bridge I'd fully expect us to go there and get through. It could be a lot worse (Liverpool, Tottenham) and it could be a lot better (Bolton, Leicester) but I think we will progress if we have our heads screwed on.

 

Sunderland's form counts for nothing when Everton have a good day at Goodison. Wembley is on the horizon!

Your form counts for nothing when we play you, you always end up far more often than not thrashing us.

Should be an interesting game though, two teams whose recent form has picked up and two teams who like to have a few strong challenges. Still can't see us winning though, maybe it's because I can't remember our last win at your place. It was probably Micky Bridges scoring back in the mid-nineties. I can't think of any wins other than that one.

23,000 empty seats at the Stadium of Light yesterday v Arsenal.

 

Sunderland fans don't deserve to go any further.

Average Premier League crowds this season

Everton 33100

Sunderland 38461

Sunderland deserve far more than Everton based on that Especially when you consider how bleedin awful we've been since about 1956
