It's been emotional these past two days. Never in my life have I been so confident of a result against them lot. But as I sat watching a dodgy feed of the game that old familiar feeling inevitably swept across me. "Oh ****. Here we go again". We all felt it. Didn't we? We finally have a squad that if they were wearing any other colours other than Sunderland would surly slaughter Newcastle. Unfortunately we are Sunderland. We want to beat them so much that defeat is almost unbearable. I'm sure the players felt it. I'm positive Bruce was aware of it and I'm certain it didn't help our performance. Yesterday has split our support down the middle. Some are at the end of their tether. Not because of Saturday, it's the years of utter, utter tripe we have had to suffer. Who can honestly blame them? For me however, I can see improvement going on. Obviously not in our derby record, that is shockingly bad. Improvement in league position, improvement in squad, improvement in our standing in the game. Most neutrals expected us to walk yesterdays match. That's a complete turn around from the days of Keegan and the very funny twelve point lead fiasco. IMO we are still a club very much on the up. Despite the odd blip. To the doubters I say give Bruce till Xmas. Then if we are anywhere near bottom seven. Crucify him. Until then. Let's try and back him and Quinny to the hilt After all, we all want the same thing at the end of the day.
He had a team available to him to beat the Mags handsomely. No injury excuses whatsoever! What pisses me off is his continuous inane team selections & apparent lack of tactical awareness & creativity. More galling was the fact that he had numerous players on the bench that he purposely brought in to strengthen the weakened team he fielded yesterday. As for the Egyptian Beckham I’m at a total loss why the lad was given a contract especially when he proved last year he didn’t have an end product and could have been easily chased without cost.
You just can't accept we are just as good as you boys and better in the head to heads. Stop listening to the pundits on tv etc and the penny might drop that we have some good players and will not be going down
I never ever go into these games assuming we will win and you shouldn't in fact these days there is nothing between the side and the fact only 1 point seperated us last season is evidence of this. We may well have lost Nolan I think Cabaye is better and we have options from the bench this season.
You're no where near as good as us it was 1 lucky free kick. As proved last week and this your team and Barton in pacticular are a bunch of mouthy cheating ****s who get people sent off.
I too never assume we will win a derby. We never do. That said, I was confident though. I'm convinced however we have a far better squad and will finish comfortably higher in the table come May.
You got beat again mate, and what makes it sweeter its one of your best squads against one of our worst
Yes, well done. I have the capability to masturbate. Once your balls drops and your voice breaks I'm sure you'll grow hairs in places that seem strange to you to. In the meantime stop fingering your arsehole.
That would make her a ****er. Not me. Make your mind up, pull your finger from under your nose and go play with your own kind.
Best you go to bed now , mummy is waiting for you View attachment 6780 keep it out of her hair its costing her a fortune at the hairdressers
I think I'll stay up thanks sweetheart. Frankly I took that as a compliment if anything, the fact that I can supposedly squirt across the English Channel is pretty ****ing immense in anyone's eyes.
