Speak for yourself. I'm absolutely brilliant at self-depreciation.

A draw would really f** k Poyet off so just one goal would do us, lads.

BT Commentators logic. Sunderland make loads of changes - their players have a point to prove, fighting for cup final spots etc. Saints make loads of changes - can't understand it, mistake, why have they done it etc.

Hmmm. At least lets get them back to our place. We can still win this.

Suck my balls, Wiziwig. It's on the telly!

Let's assume I know what package I'm on, shall we. Right now BT Sport is free on my Virgin box. I don't have a package that entitles me to BT Sport. Anyone with any Virgin package, check channel 549. They might still block it once the match starts but looking good for now. Especially as the delicious Helen Skelton is currently on screen.

BT Sport seems to be on for free on Virgin at the moment. Fingers crossed it lasts all day. Odd they haven't promoted the fact: they've been tweeting about the free Exeter/Bath Premiership match. The FA Cup is clearly of more interest.

My Dad's all time favourite player. Pretty much all I know about him and all I need to know. Just gives me a moment to remember my old man. RIP to a hero of the game.

I think one rugby match is. Not everything.

All a bit strange. Being that they're almost certainly down anyway, why not save a few quid and let ol' Curbs do it. Can't see he could be any worse and would more than likely get them in reasonable shape to come back up. Saints have got a lot to answer for with all these lower tier Prem clubs employing rent-a-foreigner managers. Taking bread off Gary Megson's table, the lot of em.

This. Anyone would think we had a marathon penalty shoot out defeat against Real Madrid on Tuesday, rather than a workaday run out against a fairly mediocre prem team. I reckon we can play Tuesday - Saturday.

I tried ignoring him but Dalek will never get bored. He actually thinks he's hilarious.

Here we go everyone. Three months of rib-tickling fun ahead of us where Dalek pretends he really thinks we need 45 points to stay up. Don't know about you lot but I am giggling already. Don't understand how people get upset with forum trolls when they can be as irresistibly hilarious as this. Oh my aching sides.

Probably the teams that have been chronically weakened following the January transfer window. Right, Delldays?

The difficult thing will be maintaining intensity. If we carry on in the cup, that will take our focus away from the league, although conversely if we get knocked out on Saturday it might deflate us for the final few months. Either way, we have little to strive for in the league. We will at least match Strachan's team - current team is better than that team - but I am not sure it will be by much. We will play so many teams who will need a win more than us. 8th/9th will do me and lets try and at least get to a Wembley semi.

What unusual random thing?

Can you just do me one of your s then? Just to close the discussion.

Not really. Not answering the question then.

Why not Newcastle to lose?

I like the idea that Strawlock thinks that someone somewhere has the absolute factual headcount of people at street celebrations/free civic events.

How is your opinion about the potential reaction in the city to us winning a cup "a fact"? Just your usual strawman, Strawlock. We win the cup, the city goes nuts.

Don't be an utter plank all your life Strawlock. If we won the FA Cup there would be a parade through the city and civic reception and the streets would be packed. It would be at least as big as 1976, if not bigger. We've won one major trophy in our entire history, and if anything we are more disposed to get on the streets to celenbrate than we did in the seventies. These days, people line the streets to watch a flipping torch carried down the road. The people of our city might just get involved if we won the cup and not sit at home pining after finishing sixth. You might, but you're a complete pr ick.

More muted? Seriously, it wouldn't. The city would go effing nuts if we won the cup. Don't pay attention to the bellends who have decided the cup is not worth bothering with. It would be immense and worth twenty "look, we finished ninth" memories.

He'll be even better in the Premier League as he'll get far more time and space on the ball than he does currently in the Championship.

But everyone rememnbers the teams that finish ninth through the ages. Trip off the tongue they do. If we get to a Wembley semi, I reckon I'd remember it. Don't understand why you wouldn't.
