Anyway lads, I am in no way writing Sunderland off in the next derby game, and I'm not predicting. I hate derby days, despite us being the better team in the last 3 and unlucky not to win all 3, I'm not sure of our victory and to be honest, even though I expect us to go all out for the win, I'd be happy as long as we didn't lose. I'm sure both Newcastle and Sunderland fans at the moment would take a good season at the top and getting a draw in each derby as long as we don't lose them!
I'll be honest marra, I have absolutely no recollection of you losing 4-0 to Arsenal, which is a pity.
I'm sure your right. Might be another at Wembley yet The only time I was ever confident of a derby win was the Ricco Rocket game, but I think both sets knew we were winning that one, which was unusual.
Theres many thing I CAN predict about derby day: - no matter how early the kickoff i'll still be half cut by the time the game starts - i'll be stood there with a room ratio of 1:20 mags (for some reason all my mates are black n whites) - abuse will be thrown by both corners however the result is one thing ive no idea of and by the nature of the game probz never will.
I'm not really frightened of your strikers, but I'm already having a nightmares about Larsson getting a free kick around 20 yards away. You can tell already he's going to score one on the day.
Part of me cant wait for the derby and part of me is nervous as hell. Thats just the way it goes. I just hope some ****e SPl game isnt on at the same time because they always take precedence up here.
I will genuinely cry if we lose this one mate, it'll kill me. I'd take a 1-1 right now (as long as we score second!)
If we win I'll brag to all my mag mates for the rest of the season. If we lose I'll go into "two games dont make a season" mode. The hypocracy of a football fan. I love it
Well you'll be happy to know that Krul and Taylor fumbled Bendtner's head for 1 - 0, Bendtner scored their third and from an offside position blocked our defender (not unlike NFL) for their second!
Sunderland will eventaully win one derby day, and when they win, they'll claim they're better than us, and also claim that all the recent ones we have won are in in the past... "give us a history lesson will you". lol. I would take losing to Sunderland if it meant a top 7 finish this season.
