Wolves equalized, no longer bottom.

Wolves equalized, no longer bottom.

Let's hope it stays that way.

[Audax]

All of the matches are tight, 3 visiting clubs winning, Spurs, Fulham and Wigan at the moment.

[Stuart]

Stoke equalise via pen.

#I gotta feelin#

[Clitherover]

Good news, Stoke equalized!!!

[Audax]

I held my tongue 5 minutes ago, but Aston Villa scored again, kind of unbelievable, Chelsea 1 3 Aston Villa at the Bridge. Aston Villa could have been drawn into the relegation fight at 20 points but they'll have 23.

[Clitherover]

Chelsea are so unpredictable this season.

[Devon Rover]

Good news, Stoke equalized!!!

It was excellent news but its now 2-2. Shame, but I hope Stoke lose some confidence ahead of Monday from this!

[Clitherover]

Stoke winning!!!

I think tonight is gonna be a good night indeed Jisty.

It was excellent news but its now 2-2. Shame, but I hope Stoke lose some confidence ahead of Monday from this!

Using BBC sport website as my source, slow to update.

Today I love football.

[StaffsRover]

It would be easy to take negatives from late equalisers for Norwich, Wigan and Swansea but I think today we should be saying this:

2 points gained on:

Wigan

Bolton

Wolves

Norwich

Swansea

3 points gained on:

QPR

Am I being Uber positive or isn't that pretty much it in a nutshell......Smile people there have been NO negatives today!!

[G Somerset Rover]

Good summary mate.

Still a long way to go but win on Monday and we can do this.

Get to the summer, Venkys sell up, Kean buggers off. Happy days.

I can dream can't I? Happy new year all.

[Audax]

4 draws in 7 games today, at least Arsenal defeated QPR.

So, the table will be interesting, Rovers defeat Stoke City and some of the other results go our way, they will be in a fair position which would be amazing.

---------

Have to add West Ham lost at Derby today. So the Championship as always is interesting.

I'd +1 this if I could.

Odd to see wigan bring on a player just to take a penalty, more like American football

Incredible finish to the game at Sunderland. Think he was just a tad offside though. Not good for us, could do with more teams languishing towards the bottom.

One comment from the commentators during the game made me feel sad, 'such a difference in atmosphere here at Sunderland compared to the end of the Bruce reign - before it was not a nice atmosphere, everyone making their feelings heard, now the place is full of optimism.' That's what a change in manager can do, something we seemingly have no chance of getting.

It was an offside. O´Neill still has his touch.

Sunderland are an irrelevance anyway. They're not going down, especially not with O'Neill in charge. Our "group" are Wolves, QPR, Bolton & Wigan. We'll be aiming to finish top of this pile and that's as high as we can realistically aim (16th).

The fact we've failed to beat any of those teams and lost to two of them obviously doesn't bode well.

I hear ya, sister.

I'm actually resigned to relegation - and the fact that there's nothing any of us can do about it - so much so, I actually laughed when Sunderland scored.

Cracking end to a match though as you say. Hope there is similar tomorrow at Ewood!

Just when I was thinking this league is dull as dishwater and I wouldn't mind some real football in the Championship we have a weekend like this one with 3 normal (ish) teams beating the big boys when they had no right.

For a team like us there isn't much enjoyment to be had, if it wasn't for what would certainly come with relegation for us the Championship wouldn't look too bad to me personally.

The PL has all manner of faults, but do I for a second want to go down to that league? Never.

Norwich and Swansea also. They are doing well now but so did Blackpool.

Got a funny feeling Norwich and Swansea will be fine this year... I always felt teams like Hull, Burnley and Blackpool would drop like a stone after a good start but I don't have that feeling with Norwich or Swansea. We'll see I suppose, but I think the bottom five now will be the bottom five come the end of the season, just in a different order.
