If they put this on TV the noise will be like nothing before. This is long overdue, on both sides, everyone will be absolutely bouncing. As an exile I have a few mags round here, as well as a few lads fans. We already have the whatsapp firing. We are canny mates really so talking about travelling together and having a big weekend together, apart from the game. I am all in on this. Just what we need in my opinion. Will also be Amads second debut
Perfect draw. This is as close to a free hit you’ll ever get for a derby game. It’s all on the mags. They have to win. Prem league status, all that money spent. If they win we’ll just shrug and say took you 10 attempts. Come back when you’ve gone 10 unbeaten and won 6 in a row. But if they don’t beat us in 90 mins…
That's the current run, in the present ... ... if you want to go back in time we can start with the 9-1
Interestingly the all competition record between us and them is Sunderland 53 wins, that lot 53 wins and 50 draws. Although they even managed to cheat the record books because one of the draws was the League Cup when we drew 2-2 twice with them then went through on penalties at their place. I count that as a Sunderland win so in my eyes the score is currently 54-53 to The Lads
We were missing pens for fun iirc around that time then Scotty stepped up and a lot of people questioned a LB taking a pen but he buried a fair few in that season tbf.
Most of them were class. The keepers got nowhere near them, they were tucked away into the inside of the side netting. And he was a very good full back as well.
