Not a million miles away until the Tyne/Wear derby, I'm moist at the thought of a fully fit Hatem Ben Arfa and Demba Ba running riot against Tightarse Bramble
In reality though I haven't a clue how the game might go, far too early to be making any proper predictions, cant wait though
Well I would like to think that with O'Neill in charge we will at least turn up, that in itself would be a vast improvement.
Winning's another matter entirely. But in all seriousness I think it will be very competitive - I really rate O'Neill as a manager.
Loving the idea of a banter thread. Loving the Newcastle lads joining in... Other than that I haven't a f**king clue who this Sunderland fella is? An old sub for some conference side?
The Derby at SJP will be harder than previous seasons. MON already looks as if he has organised the team and I'm sure if he buy's in January they will be good players coming in.
Havent seen a paper yet Syd but I'm sure Short will give MON money to spend on a striker. I dont see Bendtner getting you many goals, so think he will go for a striker.
