What are the potential positives though? We beat a bottom feeder? So what. We beat them last season. It was extremely underwhelming. On the other hand just say the stars align for them (like they have in these play off games tbf) we get a player sent off 1st half and they end up beating us it literally goes down in mackem folklore. In fact even if one of their cloggers put in a bad challenge that injured one of our key players he'd go down in mackem folklore himself. As I say I've been genuinely surprised with the amount of NUFC fans wanting them back. That's probably a sign in itself that the derby has lost its edge anyway from our perspective. We should always want the very worst for them, like they do for us, not wanting them getting £200m PL money. I'd rather they rotted away to nothing whilst we continue to do what we do.

Happy Birthday, mate. Hope we get the win

Into these PSR failing, toffee shagging, "alright la" nonces.

Despite being only a few months into my activity in this forum - I've come to quickly notice and cherish the "get into these cunts" remarks on every match day thread by your goodself.

All of the final day fixtures will be shown on TV from next season as part of the new deal.

Absolutely, he's played a full season with us barely missed a game and will also be playing a lot next season as well. Given he's been playing a higher level than this tournament for 2 years he has absolutely nothing to gain from this.

It’s my 50th birthday today, and my first time at St James’ Park. A win would be the perfect birthday gift. I think the lads will deliver.

If these lot had even half a brain they'd want us to win today and secure CL football considering how hard we found it to juggle last time round and the fatigue that damaged our PL performance.

We don't win today We do get champions league football Villa beat man u Forest last minute equaliser v Chelsea We draw Hows about that for a prediction

Offer them a chance for them to come up or us to miss out on Champions League and they're picking us missing out everyday of the week.

I’d love it if they could just make it easy on us today. No bullshit. No being 0-1 down after 15 mins. No Isak missing sitters before scoring the harder chance 😂. Just a proper stress free win.

Pepe le Piss will be hounded out and spat on before Xmas. Watch ye letterbox.

I'm moving to Turkey a week too late for this one. 😕 From next weekend I'll legally be allowed to watch all the games, including the 3pm Saturday slot, from about £7.50/month. Used to be about £2.50 when I was there ten years ago but everything's gone up. Great timing with the season ending 😂 Ridiculous that the UK has such rules in place and the cost is so high. My folks have just binned Sky Sports and their bill went from about £150/month down to £35/month.

Can’t be many clubs that manage to have their biggest game of the season on consecutive days.

An unbelievably likeable bloke

More fool them tbh

That sounds extremely shite

Had the unfortunate luck to see Onion’s post-match interview only this morning. Honestly, hope someone cuts that cunt in half next season.

I think it’s a hangover of a loser mentality, which is why your last paragraph is bang on, their entire existence is based on loser mentality. You’re worried about the potential negatives rather than focusing on the potential positives. Generally speaking, the more high stakes games we play in, the better we seem to get, there’s no argument to say that the derbies won’t be high stakes. We’ll approach them properly and we’ll win them both, and they’ll mean a lot more than the cup win did.

The Sunderland manager looked scared at the final whistle more than elated. I really don't blame him, the prospect of taking that into the PL after finishing 14 (16) points behind third, having never looked convincing against even the poorest teams in the division and not having one player who looks PL standard is quite scary and he knows exactly who the scapegoat will be.

Off up into the Welsh hills with me dog now. Can’t wait for this!

Have a pint in the Willow Pond on Hylton Road, thats a whole different species of Makem.
