Never Mind This Bold Talk

Sunderland are second from bottom - one win all season - and there for the taking. For Nobby Solano to suggest "we will go for the three points" is saying the obvious. God forbid ... who in our team is thinking anything else?

Nobby Solano: "I'm looking forward to it and it's important that we get three points. It (the derby occasion) is special for the fans but we just need to pick up points. We need to win this game because we cannot afford to drop many more points.

"We have to get points (against Sunderland) if we want to finish in the top four. We are quite far away from that at the moment. We need to win four or five games in a row and get back up there, but we need to win this one first."
