Should have been 4. This is whatever score Leicester want, Sunderland are just pointless at this level. If they survive again this year, there needs to be some sort of investigation! They're clearly not good enough for this level.

Business as usual for Sunderland. They are pants.

Norwich XI: Ruddy; Whittaker, Russell Martin ©, Bassong, Brady; Howson, Dorrans, Tettey, Johnson; Hoolahan; Grabban. What a rubbish lineup for this level.

Same old MP team really, very little punch.

They're still trying to live in their best era (late 90's), they haven't really moved with the times. Lots of repeated features, no real change, it's just very stale. Not sure if it's just my age, but I much prefer watching a Saturday morning football show like Fletch and Sav. Current, relevant, well structured. I don't care about music and bands, or comedians in the buildup to football. BT Sport have it spot on with their Saturday build up.

Still can't believe Leicester paid £7-8m for Mills a few seasons back.

Yeah, he was here at the back end of our L1 promotion season. We got him from Oldham, not a bad player, but never really stood out. He's not developed to any sort of level to be in a PL team though.

Will Cope and Jimmy Case, those were the days.

Sorry

Sadio is off, then.

Quite funny watching Utd's mini-meltdown on RedCafe, after the announcement that De Gea will not play tomorrow as the 'transfer window is still open'. So he's going then, basically. And LVG fell out with Valdes who has been pushed to one side.

I think you're reading too much into it, to be honest. We did a thoroughly professional and efficient job over 2 legs. We played away from home in Europe, at a decent standard, and won 2-0 - after over a decade of being out of it. I thought it showed another side of our game, whereby we can slip a few gears and still get the job done. We didn't need to play at full tilt in these games, and that shows how good a squad we have these days. If we'd lost, fair enough, but there's no need to start waving the stick at certain players for what was a job well done. Onto the next one.

Utter moronic management. What is the point of fielding a weakened team at this stage, when they are at Arsenal, which they are unlikely to win anyway? I'd be furious if i was a WHU fan, this is worse than those week teams MP put out. The media will try and spin it as it being good for West Ham, but this isn't shaping up to be a pretty season for them - in my opinion.

Efficient and professional. No need for fireworks at this stage, and seemingly we are good enough to get these sorts of results in Europe - away from home. Very impressive, really. Martina looks solid, although rarely tested. Stek looks a safe pair of hands, and Mane will just be a barrel of fun this year. On a final note, welcome back Jay Rodriguez. Great moment for him.

Director of Football, Les Ferdinand, added: “Oscar’s another good addition for us – and another player with good Championship experience. That's stretching it a bit, isn't it?

Nope, they're just being very careful with him.

Ouch, 2 new CB's it is...!

Given that he didn't really play for us, I don't think we need a replacement.

How the hell does he still get a chance to play in the CL, it's crazy. He doesn't deserve these clubs.

So basically, £7m isn't enough, offer a bit more and after we've sorted this game then he is yours.

2-3 wtf.

Well, yeah. It's still funny watching them get worked up though. MP has no room for error this year.

Turgid, predictable, slow, with the creative three doing feck all, the onus is all on our fullbacks who try too much and get caught up field, exactly the same as last season, if Poch don't try something different he is gone by xmas, I thought all our youngsters were creditable.

For some reason unknown to anyone, Spurs are playing 2 friendlies this week before they play at 12:45 on Saturday. Their first friendly was a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. They seem a little upset on their forums. I came across this post, and then thought it sounded so similar to our days under MP. ''Giving the ball away again, **** goalkeeping, nice strike. Lots of passing, no penetration or threat. We need more threat up front, poor Kane isolated far too much at times.'' ''Giving the ball away again, **** goalkeeping, nice strike. Lots of passing, no penetration or threat. We need more threat up front, poor Lambo isolated far too much at times.''
