Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce says Premier League safety is far from a foregone conclusion for his side. Saturday was a great day for the Black Cats as they twice came from behind to secure a stunning 3-2 win over Chelsea at the Stadium of Light, while relegation rivals Newcastle and Norwich picked up just a point between them.The confluence of results means that another victory for Sunderland at home to Everton on Wednesday - live on Sky Sports - would guarantee their survival. Roberto Martinezs men are winding down what is seen in many quarters as a disappointing season and they never looked like crashing Leicesters title-winning party on Saturday, conceding an early goal and slipping to a 3-1 defeat. I hope there is not a feeling out there that this game is a foregone conclusion. It will be anything but. Sam Allardyce However, Allardyce says he will be wary of Everton and thinks criticism of their recent displays will spur them on.I hope there is not a feeling out there that this game is a foregone conclusion, said the Sunderland boss. It will be anything but. Wahbi Khazri was among the goal scorers when Sunderland beat Chelsea at the weekend Everton have been criticised for their performance against Leicester and I think that will get a reaction from their players and Roberto here on Wednesday.I think we will see Everton trying their best to spoil our evening.We must be in top form and be as committed as we were on Saturday, if we are to get the result we are looking for. Allardyce thinks Everton will provide stiff opposition on Wednesday Allardyce agreed that Saturdays victory had put his side in a good position but quickly returned to the need to avoid complacency.Everybody has been relaxing and enjoyed the day off yesterday, he said. Now we have to focus for Wednesdays big game against Everton.The outcome of Saturdays result means, if we can secure another victory, we are safe with one game to go.It is obviously going to be crucial to us that we give as good a performance as we gave on Saturday against Chelsea.

Cricket is, of course, the greatest sport in the world to watch. In several ways, though, it is a sport that well suits the non-watching spectator - an oxymoronic rather than moronic term.Cricket is a game that by its very structure lends itself to reductive analysis: ball by ball, over by over, innings by innings. In the same way, however, that music relies as much on the rests as on the notes themselves, the intervals between deliveries are just as much a part of the game. Steven Smith bringing up a short leg for Mitchell Starc; Joe Root giggling at second slip; Steven Finn trudging back to his mark after another dropped catch: plenty happens in the gaps.The same applies to watching the game - its just as much about the time between deliveries. When attending a match in person, the pauses yield opportunities to relax, to argue with ones companion, to make new acquaintances and to revive old ones - literally, if they have dropped off in the Hove sunshine. Those determined to introduce the squalid note of business into proceedings may even engage in a spot of mild networking. The ultra-purist may well be able to sit and watch three sessions without exchanging a word with anyone else, eyes soaking up every nuance of the on-field drama, but that is not the only option available to the genuine enthusiast.The power of the game is such that even when there isnt actually any cricket going on, being at the cricket can be an experience in itself. At a Middlesex T20 at Lords last year, with nearby lightning preventing any play, a family member struck up a friendship with two other families seated nearby, leading to an impromptu tri-generation, tri-nationality knockabout in the upper tier of the Tavern Stand. One of the fathers later emailed to say that his young son was telling everyone that it was the best day ever at Lords, which was a mild worry to him, as no cricket had actually been seen.Even when the weather permits play, for many followers of the game in the UK, non-watching is, unfortunately, a state of affairs inflicted by the lack of free-to-air coverage. As cricket is used by Sky and BT as another chip to lure more users to their broadband services, those who will not, or indeed cannot, pay for the luxury are forced to the radio, to the web, or in extremis, to the newspaper - though the reduced print coverage these days makes the latter a harder task. It is therefore fortunate that cricket shines when it comes to radio commentary. Its surprising how even many non-lovers of cricket will nevertheless admit to having Test Match Special on for background noise. The venerable programmes pplace in cricket culture seems secure; nevertheless, having become an institution, it has come in for the criticism that organisations viewed as part of the establishment, rightly or wrongly, will attract.dddddddddddd. Listeners are less captive than before, as well, and can vote with their ears: on the other side of the boundary, online offerings such as White Line Wireless and Guerilla Cricket provide valuable alternatives. It is perhaps, however, the BBCs online county coverage that performs the most undersung service, gently lifting listeners all over the world to the Quantocks, the Yorkshire seaside, the South Downs, and beyond. The multihued variety of crickets audio commentary is surely something to cherish.Even when there is access to moving pictures, the pauses between deliveries, overs, innings, make cricket an ideal sport for multitasking - for instance, attending to some domestic chore, perhaps, if one needs to convey the impression of work to any suspicious family member who looks in. Matching socks is a good option. Ironing is a possibility, but a high-risk one, as being mesmerised by R Ashwins guile can fry your hand as well as your brain. Reading is safer; extensive testing has revealed that books that themselves reflect crickets structure of discrete items - compilations such as Martin Smiths Not in My Day and Charlie Connellys Elk Stopped Play - are particularly well-suited to this application.With a little practice you can soon learn to identify the cadences of the bowlers delivery-stride, back-foot leap coming within range of the bowlers-end stump microphone, glancing up to the screen with split-second precision. Eyes perform their trigger movement, ball is delivered, batsman plays, fielder gathers, and its back to your book. This way you can spend most of the day nominally watching cricket without any feelings of guilt. After all, the chances are that youll have spent most of the time not looking at the screen, which means, after rounding, that you havent been watching it at all.In a game that is so obsessed with statistics, and that is increasingly becoming preoccupied with the need for instant entertainment, there is a danger that we focus so much on the measurable on-field activities that we forget the game provides a basis for so much more. Its value cannot be quantified in only sixes and fours, dots and wickets. The game can pervade the atmosphere and background in a way that may only be fully appreciated when the eyes are taken, counter-intuitively, off the game.Cricket: not a bad sport to watch, but an even better one to not.
