Head-to-head
* Wolves are unbeaten in their last five home matches in this fixture (W2, D3) since a 1-0 defeat in February 1998.
* Sunderland have lost their last three matches against Wolves.
Wolves
* Wolves have lost eight of their last 10 league matches, earning only four points in that time.
* They have not kept a clean sheet in those 10 matches and conceded 22 goals.
* The club have never drawn a Premier League match in the month of December (W6, L8).
* Mick McCarthy won two, drew four and lost 31 of his 37 Premier League matches in charge of Sunderland between March 2003 and March 2006.
* Roger Johnson should make his 400th career start, and George Elokobi will bring up his century of league starts.
Sunderland
* Sunderland have only taken six points out of the last possible 24 (W1, D3, L4).
* The Black Cats have not had the same result in succession since they suffered back-to-back defeats in April. If that pattern continues on Saturday, they will not be beaten.
* They have only led at half-time in one of their 13 league matches this season, when they beat Stoke 4-0.
Talk, chat, enjoy. Also I have a bet on Wolves to win so I want them to win!

What a cheat O'Hara is, and the ref. must have seen it
As usual, Sunderland A.F.C. are cheated

Luckily I put Larson on the bench for my FF team. Thank god because he appeared to have a shocker lol

Hope O'Niel sorts out Larsson's diving as his top priority.

I know that Larsson's dive was in the 'Tom Daley' class, but did nobody else ( rhetorical question, 'cos it was clearly shown on MoD ) notice that Craddock did foul him 'cos he actually caught his foot
The same people who 'didn't see it' will be the same people that didn't see O'Hara's blatant 'hand ball' at the other end
Anyway, it's gone now, and we're used to being cheated by referees
. . . . no we're not - it'll probably always happen, but we'll never get used to it

He did catch him but it was hardly anything. If he wanted to stay up he could have.

Is that not what I said
