His recent bite success ratio is definitely relegation form.

Careful with the pragmatism, sir. Fitzhugh Fella will be adding you to his little black 'happy clapper' notebook as we speak

Pragmatism + optimism + open mindedness + benefit of the doubt = "happy clapper" ? Someone's been reading The Gnuardia for too many years me thinks... #doolally Pat on the back for getting me to bite though

I'm guessing you probably said something similar in previous Septembers too...

Hugely frustrating yet again. It was a textbook away performance for the first 70 minutes then... bang... all the decent work goes to waste. We're still on par with last season but.... The last five league games this season: W1 D1 L3 (4 points) The last five league games this time last season: W1 D0 L4 (3 points) The next five league games last season: W4 D1 L0 (13 points) Are we about to turn the same corner or stumble along on the same path? Our next 5 league games: Burnley (A) Leicester (H) Swansea (A) West Ham (H) Sunderland (A) A pivotal 5 - 6 weeks beckons...

Sunderland 2 (defoe 2nd pen) Liverpool 2

2-0 game over

Penalty to Everton

Long on for Clasie

Cock, cock and thrice cock 1-0

WBA 3 Hull 1 Sunderland 1 Liverpool 2 (Mane)

WBA 2 Hull 1

WBA 1 Hull 1

This is all set up nicely for a stonking match winning half hour cameo from Boufal in the second half

Tempting fate I know, but this is a decent 'away team' first half display from us thus far

That's a goal if JRod gets that on target

Sunderland 1 (Defoe pen) Liverpool 1

WBA 0 Hull 1 (Snodgrass)

Sunderland 0 Liverpool 1 (Sturridge)

Miralles coming on....
