I'd play Joelinton first half then Miley second potentially. Have Joelinton in for the fight and to soak up some of their bullshit aggression then unleash the more technical player in Miley.

Long time since I've been in. Was a little bit rough and ready back in the day but should be fine today like. Don't recall there being many well positioned TVs like but I'm talking about 15year ago

Aye. I hope our fans don't be knobs like.

Miley don't like them! Fuck the Mackems! Fuck the mackems!

Get. Into. Them.

Interesting fact: this is the longest period the two sides have gone without playing each other in the league. Why? I hear you ask. Cause they're shit.

I mean we've barely had one for a decade so maybe that's why? They always seem to fail to recognise that after their 6 in a row during one of our worst times in recent history

CoPilot suggests the rivalry all stems from there like bur does say it wasn't a recognised city then and more a small port town. All seems a bit more desperate than I can imagine. Liek where was this rivalry for like 300years between

This is lush assuming you are correct of course. Absolutely ridiculous from them.

TBF we've only ever played across 8 days I think.

So basically, the Scots outflanked the garrison at Newcastle with a few fishing towns in tow and got a one off victory but Sunderland was and remained forever in Newcastles shadow, football aside?

I don't know the history of it tbf. Just recently learned it's cause we were the kings of coal and they were (as always) a shithole.

I read somewhere they're going down the civil war route

He is getting some unjust stick on here. He was a decent player in the wrong side. Everything he wanted to do our players were generally half a move behind. Wasn't ever gonna have the physicality though.

I reckon if we win it will crush these somewhat like. AFCoN and their big day out ruined. Likely to go out in the FA Cup too.

It's not what he's good at though

Thought he had a very average firs half but a great second. He needs to stop slowing it down and going outside and simply get at men around the outside with his acceleration. Had the full back on toast almost every time he did that last night. Goal, assist and one really unlucky one off the post - cannot really argue with that. Nearly cost us with his lack of tracking back (again) at the end of the first half though.

Speaking from a purely unbiased point of view, tonight I was pleased that Liverpool won the game when neither Salah or Isak were on the pitch in a very difficult away game. Speaks volumes really about the poisonous unprofessional attitude of the superstars that are Salah and Isak and it was emphasised by Robertsons interview, who demonstrated professionalism. But putting my biased hat on, I wish they were absolutely dicked and embarrassed by it. Wasn't to be.

Big week for us this and I feel like under Howe we screw our loaf in these circumstances. Heart says we go intense for the next two and get two wins. Head says we likely grab two draws but the performances are there.

Jacob Murphy man. The real GOAT.

Aye, that's fair. Like I say I can only go off my experiences (and likewise you with yours).

I'm not aware of the comments so perhaps a moot point but I think fans or pundits are always likely to say some irrational stuff when they're hurt by shit such as Isak or Salah. Let's face it most people on this site would have considered Isak one of the best 5 strikers in the world 9 months ago. Now most think he's shite.
