Emmanuel Eboue made his return from injury today as Sunderland suffered a 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough in a derby 'friendly'.Eboue - who penned a short-term contract at Sunderland earlier this month - has missed the last fortnight of training after picking up a hamstring problem. But the ex-Arsenal defender was part of a relatively strong Sunderland line-up at the Stadium of Light, as Sam Allardyce's men faced neighbours Boro in a behind-closed-doors encounter. With Sunderland not in top flight action again until the visit of West Brom on Saturday week, Allardyce was eager to give some of his fringe players an opportunity to stay match-sharp. The likes of Jan Kirchhoff, Lee Cattermole, Billy Jones and Jeremain Lens - just back from injury - all featured for Sunderland, while strikers David Nugent and Jordan Rhodes were involved for Boro. But it was the Teessiders who finished on top in a 2-1 victory, with N'Doye netting the goal for Sunderland. Sunderland XI: Harper, Eboue, Jones, Beadling, T Robson, Kirchhoff, Cattermole, Toivonen, Honeyman, Lens, N'Doye.
Our reserves against a virtual 1st team - not a bad result imo - a non game for training - no problems
I cant see me keeping my calm for much longer . Im at work now with all the Smoggies thinking theyve just beat our first team and theyre better than us.
keeping calm for much longer hilarious Like you would have the balls to say anything Remember where you are plastic mackem boy, not where Boro lads want you to be.
The lad is born and bred Teesside, probably has a lot more mates around Stockton than you can dream of. He's also built like a brick ****house and does active UFC, he doesn't hide behind a computer either. PM him your number, I'm sure he would love to meet you big boy.. Probably at a Macdonalds like but that's what floats his boat.. I'm sure he will be along later you floor board loving Boro twat, how's the promotion push going by the way? Still a lot of empty seats like? Never caught on to this loyalty stuff for your team have you..
In Boro they put great big metal gates up to keep people out of allies. There's a bit of an eating out of bins culture and they're trying to stamp it out. Love the way they do the front of their houses up tough please log in to view this image In other words its a ****ing ****hole with a with a **** stadium built on barren land. So let them enjoy their friendly win against the reserves. They don't have much
What has the high unemployment and low wage areas of Boro have to do with football boooooooooo Like Sunderland hasnt got them eh not like you would know . Darlo,another plastic. No wonder your the most hated of all North East teams. Cant wait for you to be relegated I SUPPORT MY LOCAL TEAM
Enjoy your friendly win it may take your mind off ****ing up your promotion bid. Looks like your going to bottle it just like you bottled the play off final last year.
Or we could still stay up and you could still stay down. Which is equally as likely as what you have stated.
Leicester, Arsenal Stoke Everton Chelsea left to play You will be relegated by Stoke, Norwich beating you will be the decisive game. Chelsea, Everton and Watford will just see you off,no doubt Boro will seal promotion last game against Brighton at Fortress Riverside
