You and a billion others, good on them.
No chance they are staying up though.
Often happens in the first game, I mean even Derby drew there's last season (IMG:

They have such a terrible squad. They're going to rely heavily on Geovanni to create anything, if he gets injured.. God help them. There is a long history of teams doing well when they first get promoted, but that'll soon change.

Well I'd never wish Hull the same fate (I personally hope they at least survive a season... Sunderland finally did it... keep in mind Sunderland had the lowest point record ever in the Top flight a few years ago, though Derby even had less). Hull seem to have an all around stronger team than Derby, but I'll shut up now and say something mid way through the season. Geovanni is not bad...
Sunderland are too big for the Championship, they're a big club with a board willing to invest money, there was never any doubt they were going to be safe last season for me.
I'm not sure why Man City released Geovanni, he only seemed to play the first half of the season for them - which coicidentally they did very well - then seemed to stop playing him for some reason. (IMG:
