Nearly Live! v Sunderland

So Howson is out for today, in comes Snoddy otherwise same team as last time.

On the bench Bunn replaces Nash, Martin drops off the bench and RVW comes onto the bench
 
First game Howson has missed. the return of Snoddy and RVW has created a headache. Would have thought R Bennett would have made way for Howson on the bench so I'm thinking he may have picked up an injury.

Now confirmed by NCFC

We can confirm that Jonny Howson has picked up an injury.
 
Sunderland

Mannone, Celustka, Bardsley, Brown, O'Shea (C), Cattermole, Ki, Larsson, Borini, Giaccherini, Altidore.

BREAKING NEWS - David Coleman dies at the age of 87

Sports broadcasting has today lost a legend after the death of former BBC commentator David Coleman OBE at the age of 87. His family has released this short statement: "We regret to announce the death of David Coleman OBE, after a short illness he died peacefully with his family at his bedside."
 
Former BBC commentator David Coleman has died at the age of 87.

Tony Hall, BBC Director-General said: "David Coleman was one of this country's greatest and most respected broadcasters. Generations grew up listening to his distinctive and knowledgeable commentary. Whether presenting, commentating or offering analysis, he set the standard for all today's sports broadcasters. Our thoughts are with his family and many friends."

Barbara Slater, the BBC's Director of Sport, added: "David Coleman was a giant in the sports broadcasting world, an iconic and hugely respected figure. From his famous football and athletic commentaries to his presentation of events and programmes such as the Olympics, the World Cup, Question of Sport and Grandstand, he was quite simply the master of his craft. David had many friends at BBC Sport and was admired by audiences in their millions. We send sincere condolences to his family."
 
I watched you as a kid David and remember you well.
