Pete Sixsmith, whose seven-word instant verdicts enlighten these pages, saw this goalless draw at Leicester as a win we let go. A touch of sharpness in their box, a little more midfield creativity … that would have made the difference. As it is, we still struggle against newly promoted teams. Two nil-nil draws from visits to all three of them. But with Chelsea and Man City up next, it was a game we absolutely needed not to lose so let us take comfort in small mercies. Look out for Gus Poyet’s own verdct and Pete’s considered view ..

Time for cliches involving lightning, Sunderland took the special one’s unbeaten home record. Chelsea still unbeaten? Or should I be thinking in terms of airborne pigs?
