aussiemag Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 To me this is the fiercest derby in the Premier League, far more passion and hatred than Everton/Liverpool, Spurs/Arsenal, Man Utd/Man City. Living in Australia however the fixture is barely mentioned as a fierce match, or a big rivalry. Is it the same back in England? If so why is this? Is it because the two sides are not "top" sides in the league? or Is it because Sunderland are simply s****? I can not talk for England, but in Norway this game is pretty hyped in the studios before the match. Always talk about nasty challenges, rivalry etc. Last year they had a 5-10 min movie about the area, people and why it was such a fierce rivalry. Talked about the stance in wars, coal mining etc Loved it. Thats great. We will probably get something a little similar. But the headlines are hogged by the successful clubs. People here are more interested in Man Utd v Chelsea than a Newcastle/Sunderland derby. Fucking Australians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that ours is any fiercer than Forest/Derby, Southamton/Pompey, Sheff Utd/Wednesday or many others really. What I don't think any other derby has is a set of fans who have such a huge chip on their shoulder about their rivals' city and club as the one Sunderland supporters carry. This leads to their irrational rabid behaviour, regular pitch invasions etc which probably make this derby seem fiercer than it really is tbh.

Kanj Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Nil-Nil until Shola comes on who puts in 3. 1 bullet header, 1 left footed thunderbolt (ie: Spurs (H) last season) and a jumping powerbomb volley (ie: 5-1 from 2 seasons ago) That would be fucking mint.

But this derby get some attention, and newcastle nearly always is shown on TV. Yeh we get every match over here, Europe League as well. So Im not complaining. 8:30 pm kick off on Sunday .. so it is perfect. I live in Australia but have been brought up to genuinely hate Sunderland AFC. All my friends that are "Australian Rules Football" fans dont understand how you can hate another team so much. Our local derby is Fremantle v West Coast and there are no security separating the fans, thats how tame it nis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 In Canada it's not even shown on TV, what a joke Crap, I hadn't checked the schedules yet, I'm sure they will show it in full at some point on Sunday, on sportsnet world. I don't think I will be able to stay away from the result though, since it's a derby, if we get beat then I can chose not to have to watch it. It's a bye week for the Dolphins this week, so it's my only sporting event for the Sunday this week to look forward to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 With Colo and Taylor playing, I'll trust the team a lot more. They're so vital. I reckon Santon will keep Johnson very quiet too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
