1201: "Are you gonna do some fledos predos?"
Liam, Liverpool, via text on 81111
You are 'avin a laugh. Fledos Predos. That is pushing it. I cannot do predictions, at least not correctly. Though I tell you what, it would take a brave man to bet against St Helens at the moment.
1200: "Come on Liverpool - think 5-0 is in order today."

I dunno, a couple of decent wins and all of a sudden Liverpool fans think they can dish out a thrashing to a club like Stoke.
1150: Sunderland have lost three of their last four games against Boro at the Stadium of Light. On the positive side, they did beat Boro 3-2 at home to guarantee their Premier League survival in April. Then again, they have lost three in a row at home since then. Mixed messages all over the shop.
1145 BST: As I left the house this morning I noticed that a mailshot had dropped through the letter box with "Countdown to Christmas" written all over it. I ask you - Christmas? It is the middle of September.
Having been woken in the middle of the night by noisy neighbours and while battling against a cold - though I don't like to talk about it - Yuletide messages did little to lift the spirits.
However, I imagine that quite few Premier League managers wouldn't mind Christmas coming early. Stoke boss Tony Pulis perhaps, as he contemplates his team's trip to Liverpool today.
What's more, I imagine Gianfranco Zola is pretty keen to kick off his West Ham career with three points, while opponents Newcastle will take anything they can get at the moment.
Sunderland and Middlesbrough fans will feel like it's Christmas if their team triumph in the Wear-Tees derby.
Blackburn v Fulham and Bolton v Arsenal (plenty of previous there) complete today's fixtures.
There might only be five of them but there is plenty to keep us going.
