:18:25. > :18:32.Simple finish. Happy days for Middlesbrough.
:18:33. > :18:39.It was a big win for us. We got a good point last week. Home games are
:18:40. > :18:45.very important, your home form is massive in this league. That was a
:18:46. > :18:46.big win for us and gives us confidence going into the ndxt lot

:19:29. > :19:36.Well taken penalty to get b`ck into the game. No great enthusiasm. Back

:19:58. > :20:01.but even here Sanchez is given time to sort his feet out.
:20:02. > :20:08.Too easy. David Moyes is looking a haunted man. We have hard a lot of
:20:09. > :20:11.games and we have been here before maybe not in this situation but in

:20:18. > :20:20.get to not conceding goals. You will only ever be judged by your results.
:20:21. > :20:24.And this is what those results show - that Sunderland have equalled
:20:25. > :20:26.the worst start by any club in Premier League history.
:20:27. > :20:31.Is there any way out, Steve?
:20:32. > :20:39.They say you need ten wins to stay in the Premier League and the first
:20:40. > :20:43.one is proving very tough bx them. It could be a long winter on
:20:44. > :20:45.Wearside. A lot of managers have said over the last few years that
:20:46. > :20:50.there is something wrong at the club. The common denominator is that
:20:51. > :20:54.the owner has been there for seven years and they do not seem to have
:20:55. > :20:59.made any progress. They missed a trick in the summer on the back of a
:21:00. > :21:03.big finish and Sam Allardycd, using that momentum, big opportunhty to
:21:04. > :21:06.invest, which they did not take They seem to have gone so f`r
:21:07. > :21:08.backwards since the summer. That is what pain the fans as much `s
:21:09. > :21:14.anything. And also, by contrast In the Championship,
:21:15. > :21:16.Newcastle are looking unstoppable. It wasn't the 6-0 scoreline
:21:17. > :21:18.by which they beat Preston in the Cup, earlier in the week
:21:19. > :21:22.but a 2-1 win over the same opposition at Deepdale
:21:23. > :21:23.means the Magpies have now won seven in a row,
:21:24. > :21:36.starting with that comeback It was a very different gamd. Easy
:21:37. > :21:43.when you are lacking match fitness to slash at that. Good ball in. Good
:21:44. > :21:49.downward header. Always difficult when you head it downwards. 2-0 up.
:21:50. > :21:51.Preston got the goal that their pressure deserved.
:21:52. > :21:54.Even when Newcastle have bedn under pressure and have not been playing
:21:55. > :22:02.their best they have still lanaged to grind out results. Yes. Hs this a
:22:03. > :22:07.penalty? I would probably h`ve to see now. Digging it out. Thd ball
:22:08. > :22:12.comes back in. A good three points. And this is how the table looks -
:22:13. > :22:24.Newcastle already six points clear Any catching them? It looks unlikely
:22:25. > :22:26.at the moment. Huddersfield, small squad. It will be two from
