now that they have made it more difficult for pubs to show overseas feeds will there be any pubs showing the game? especially in Washngton so I dont need to drive.
You're welcome fella. That's what happens when a manager suggests in their post match interview that it could be a legitimate sending off, then try to appeal.
Adam Johnson has claimed Sunderland are ready to take advantage of Newcastle selling their best player Yohan Cabaye. Alan Pardew's Magpies will try to avoid a third consecutive North-East derby defeat on Saturday lunchtime without Cabaye (sold to Paris Saint-Germain this week), top-scorer Loic Remy (suspended because of Tuesday's red card against Norwich) and captain Fabricio Coloccini (still injured). With the influential spine of their arch-rivals' side gone, Johnson reckons Sunderland can rise to the occasion again and claim another famous victory - to go alongside last season's 0-3 demolition at St James' Park, and last October's 2-1 home win. Johnson reckons the Wearsiders, who have lost only twice in 13 games, qualified for the League Cup Final and climbed out of the bottom three for the first time in five months with Wednesday's win over Stoke, can harness the "incredible passion" the home crowd will generate and turn it in their favour. He said: "We have watched Newcastle's games and we have to try and take advantage of what has happened to them. "We will go into the game knowing it is a big blow for Newcastle to lose not just their best player, but their two best players. The goals Remy has scored speak for themselves, but it is still a very tough place to go at St James' Park and we have just got to go for it. "If there is any way we can get a one percent or two percent advantage over the opposition then that must be good for us. "There will be a few of their players wanting to get one over us after what happened last year. There were a few angry players after the game ' but that's the derby for you. I'm so looking forward to it again. "Just the win made it so special. It is no different this year. If we can build on what we have done in the last couple of weeks and get a result there we will be happy and we are definitely going there to win. We have been very good away from home and have played very well. "Against them in head to heads we have had the upper hand, but they are doing very well in the league and are doing better than us, however, on derby day it is anybody's. We have shown in the last two derbies that we know how to win, but Newcastle are sitting a lot more comfortably in the league." Johnson has scored six goals in the last six games to give him eight for the season, and has been crucial to Gus Poyet's side giving themselves a chance of surviving despite having been bottom at Christmas. He says Sunderland's change in style under new boss Poyet following the September sacking of Paolo di Canio, with longer spells of possession, has helped him be more influential. He added: "It possibly suits the wingers more. Maybe that has been a factor. A lot of times in the past I had to run 70 yards with the ball to get into a dangerous position, but now I am a lot more fresh. "I'm in a bit of good form right now and I just hope it continues. That's what happens when things go for you, everything seems to go right, so I'm delighted, but more importantly it was another win for us and that is all that matters." A derby win would add to an incredible run recently - although Sunderland remain deep in relegation trouble, other clubs are hitting their own crisis periods. Johnson said: "We are through to a final, the next round of the FA Cup and we have won again in the league against Stoke, so everything is going great for us. The derby is one of those odd games though which is down to who wants it more? "These are the games you play for. It's great for the fans and the passion is intense. "The passion of the fans in the North-east is unbelievable and I think our win there kept a few people happy on our side of the fence for several months."
The match is being shown live on these foreign tv stations quite a few of these satellite systems have been hacked one way or another (card share for example) so a lot of the pubs will be showing the match if they have the correct cards or satellite system to show it ... IMHO would have thought a fair few in the Washington area will be showing the match.

would love to win, hoping for at least a point. no idea what to expect bar effort, passion and hopefully a wee bit of guile and quality from the lads
Will be magnanimous before, during or after the game regardless of the result? More chance of seeing over the Sports Direct Arena..
There hasn't been any problems watching games over this part of the world, even after they tightened up. Been on everywhere bar one game. This one will definitely be on tomorrow.
Phil Dowd referee! If the Mags could have hand picked there own choice, he would surely have been it..
Superstition keep predicting mags win and it usually w3orks ourt for the best hence had to come on here this morning just to predict the mags win if that makes sense
GUS POYET insists he will have no hesitation in handing new Sunderland signing Liam Bridcutt a baptism of fire in tomorrow’s Tyne-Wear derby. Bridcutt today completed his £2.5million move to the Stadium of Light after a month-long pursuit of the defensive midfielder, who worked under Poyet at Brighton. The 24-year-old is in the squad to face Newcastle United at St James’s Park tomorrow and Black Cats boss Poyet is prepared to include the Scotland international in his starting XI, with Lee Cattermole ruled out through injury, regardless of whether he joins Stoke City or not. Poyet said today: “Liam has one advantage compared with the rest of the squad, he knows us very well, knows how we play and understands the role perfectly. “The only thing that can go against him is bad form. “But if I go with Liam in the team, I’m very relaxed because I know what he can do. He knows the role and does it confidently. “When you consider the price for him and how much we wanted him, he’s British, he’s young and I think it was a bargain for us. “He is registered on time and he is in the squad for tomorrow. I’ve got no problems to play him.” Aside from Cattermole, Steven Fletcher is Poyet’s only other injury worry for tomorrow’s game, with the Scottish striker still struggling with an Achilles problem.
