ACS's View
2-2

​

 

Thought I'd put this up early as the banter will increase I'm sure over the next couple of weeks.

 

Play the way we did yesterday and it could be a 5-1 in reverse.

 

Too early to discuss, still just under 4 weeks away.

 

Tickets now available on Viagogo from ST holders who can't make it.
Good to see sensible pricing too for once.

Keep hoping Albert because I am sure the day will come when previous form will have some significance and even the law of averages comes into play, What I am forecasting is that the gap between the two teams at present is the biggest it will be for the rest of this season

 

Couldn't be much bigger than 19 points.

 

This.

I reckon the end gap will be about 10 points.

 

We will lose this one as pardew has the inability to get the team up for such occasions.

This is the weakest Sunderland team for years and this should be a walk in the park however guaranteed it will not end the way it should unless we approach it in the right way
Pardew out

 

Really, think Sunderland are going to improve like .

 

I'm not looking forward to this. Long way to go I know and a lot can happen, but for all the crap that was spoken about the problems of having too many French players I think this is one area where we suffer from a lack of British players. Derbies, by nature, are a very local affair that each have their own culture and personality. I think it has been hard for some of our foreign players to grasp what its about. Would so love them to discover in time for this one tho, and I'll keep hoping

 

You'd think that Pards would be able to explain to them how much it means to the fans.

Then again I don't think the players are as thick as Pards and will probably realise how important it is to us.

 

We have to want it more than the Mackems and it's not going to be easy game.
I still think they will be safe come end of season.

 

That's the point though. I don't think its something you explain. It's something you feel. And I think that is where we struggle with the lack of players who just get what its all about. However, as they settle I think they will start to get it and I'm hoping that starts this time!

 

Bang on the money for me. I'm hoping they have learnt a bit more about them. The last few the players have failed to get up for it or had way too much nervous energy and not shown their quality.

Sunderland have improved under Poyet for sure, certainly in the big games. We have to expect them to raise their game against us again.

 

Have to agree with you I cannot see Sunderland finishing 10 points above Newcastle

 

Arsenal supporters may disagree with you

 

It seems just about everybody disagrees with you.

 

What about the thousands of Geordies from South of the Tyne who are Sunderland fans? Do they not count?

 

What is a Georie? A Geordie who sold his soul to the dark side so loses the 'd'?
