09:32 AM ET 11.28 | By early Saturday evening some Sunderland fans were running sweepstakes, with wagers placed on the day and hour of Steve Bruce's predicted sacking. Others preferred to debate the succession and ponder the respective merits of, among others, Mark Hughes, Martin O'Neill, David Moyes and Steve McClaren. By 5.30pm Sunday bookmakers had suspended betting on Bruce's dismissal. For the moment, at least, he remains in charge at the Stadium of Light, but although he maintains resignation is not an option ??? and having signed a lucrative new long???term contract in February there has never been much likelihood of Sunderland's manager waving a white flag ??? even he concedes that his relationship with the Wearside public has possibly fractured beyond repair.

Have the Toff's awoken from their annual early season slumber? Or, are they just getting the results that they should against the bottom of the table? Everton creeps up to ninth with a win against Bolton this weekend.
Nothing seems automatic with Everton.... so I'll just enjoy the additional three points!

On topic: Keep yer grubby hands off of Moyes, Sunderland! If (more like when) Moyes leaves, it's going to be up.... not lateral.

I put Everton ahead of Sunderland but only because the job Moyes has done.

The rumor switched their order. The Mods must think GB makes for a better rumor.

They're trying to split up our post count! I'm not sure they need any help with that.... it's been pretty slow lately.
