State of Sunderland

Fabulous article from The Guardian. While obstensibly a match report, it gives you the depth of despair evident in Sunderland's play, and evidently in Sunderland proper.

Liverpool come on Wednesday and as one pessimist said: "We'll lose that too and, what's worse, Crouch'll score."

Hope for those of you with Morientes, Garcia, or god-forbid Crouch on your teams this week and who need a pick-me-up after Saturday.
