Re: FA Cup > 29th Dec - 7th Jan

Just watched the O'Neill interview after the Liverpool game and he said Sunderland ran out of puff in the second half after a promising start. To be fair I don't think he was making excuses, Sunderland do have a small squad and it is a concern. The other issue to consider is that after the Bolton game, Sunderland play several teams in and around them in the prem, important games so I think you have a point with regards to O'Neill's priorities. I'll wait for further developments but right now it looks unlikely I will pull the trigger with Sunderland all things considered. I've noticed centre-forward James Constable will be suspended for Oxford Utd against Sheffield Utd, he isn't a prolific scorer this campaign but does seem to play a fair bit. I would ask Oxford fans (or anyone in the know) how important a miss will Constable be?

Im an Oxford fan and on Constable I'll say this - hes our captain so he'll obviously be missed. Hes also consistently one of our best players and goalscorers this season. Turning down a move to Swindon showed his loyalty to us, and he'll be missed in this game. I sometimes bet on my own team and often regret it, and I would have thought Sheffield will walk this.
