    A load of rubbish to follow.

    Got 0-0 written all over this.

    A chance for the ground staff to say a fond farewell to Matheus Martins, who for two years has stood in for their usual pitch roller while it's under gone essential maintenance.

    That's unfair. Maybe Cleverley will get them playing better this time.

    Do think that they will have to dust off that old copy of "I just can't get enough" on Saturday ?
    That is if they can remember where they left it !

    Extra policing will be required given the risk of fans without tickets trying to force their way in. Tout tickets are going for £750.
    So close to achieving that +1 goal difference for the season - are we going to blow it right at the end ?

    Let’s hope some idiots don’t ruin it by running on the pitch near the end of the match.

    He might look completely lost out there but Rajovic is trying very hard in his sub appearances I'll have you know.

    1-0 win. Six off the line, Bayo spoons it into Occupation Road. 91st minute pinball in the box before it flies in off a Sunderland defender. We finally get a home win and the fans' go home miffed how we didn't score but don't really care.

    For the second home game against Sunderland in a row? We really did let him go too soon.

    You know, that fitness coach we employed to oversee a rigorous pre-season last year. Not heard of him since.

    With Clevs being made permanent manager it’s only right that we lose this now.

    I would seriously consider playing a bunch of kids for these final two games. We could lose both games 10-0 and not go down or even close to it (although it would be pretty hard to take). Lewis is thankfully going back to Newcastle, Dennis (as much as he wants to stay) I cannot see it due to finances, not the mention the special gift of Kalu back for the new season. With Clevs at the helm, what's not to love?

    I'm baffled how there's less than 500 tickets available for this at £35/£38 a ticket

    I like how they've framed it as we want to protect Porteous for the Euros when he's one booking away from a 3 game ban

    It's just bad luck. Who could predict this would happen?

    Would it come into play next season?

    Anyway he will probably get booked now!

    Classic Ngakia - did wonder how fit he was when coming on with loads of strapping on like you see some rugby players have!

    Probably not risking Chakvetadze with the Euros in mind too.

    Hopefully Sema plays.

    There'll be 5000 empty seats regardless.

    Hopefully they cancel the season tickets for the persistent non-showers to finally give a few of the 10,000 on the season ticket waiting list a chance.

    It would be nice to Grieves given a go as he's been in the squad a lot this year
