WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I wonder if they'll put extra litter on the pitch to mark the occasion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I hope you're right. Colo is very quick on his feet and yet he was still lucky to avoid a broken leg in this fixture last year. http://i.imgur.com/sQ7BA.jpg I had forgotten about that one, that would have broken the leg of most players and I still don't know how Coloccini came out of it in one piece.

Beren Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Fully expecting one of them to at least try to crock Ben Arfa tbh. Edit: their players. And you know who will end up on his arse looking daft. I hope you're right. Colo is very quick on his feet and yet he was still lucky to avoid a broken leg in this fixture last year. http://i.imgur.com/sQ7BA.jpg I thought he'd be out for the season when that happened. Can't believe he continued the game as I recall his foot being planted when that "tackle" came in. Not sure how feasible it would be to implement, but I think there are certain circumstances where - for a really bad/malicious tackle - the culprit should be suspended until the person they have deliberately injured is fit to play again.

Dave Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 As if the 5-1 wasn't a 'pivotal game that shook the North East' ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 As if the 5-1 wasn't a 'pivotal game that shook the North East' ffs. Certainly more so than the 4-1 when Sunderland were basically down anyway. The bit about them being heavy favourites before last season's 1-0 is pish too.

Darth Crooks Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Just trying to balance out the hype in order to big up the importance of it as a fixture. No probs with that. The 5-1 is a shoe-in mond of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I put a bet on a 1-1 draw, I wanted both Fletcher and Shola to score on there but I had to make that a separate bet, then I put a bet on them to win, the lady just looked at me and said "You want them to win?', I replied "No I don't, but I'm shit at betting so I'm betting on them to win".

Ketsbaia Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'm feeling the childhood Xmas Eve excitement coming tonight, although I'm still petrified for the game. I look forward to Sam Jacks whipping everyone into a frenzy but not the match, which will be very ugly. We know we've got the better players, we know we're better than them but.....football isn't always like that, is it? I trust our players on derby day and if their heads are screwed on, I think we'll be alright. Doesn't stop the spine-tingling goosebumps tonight though. Going to get up early, put the lucky NUFC boxers on, play 'Local Hero' on loop and calm the nerves down with a few beverages. TOON TOON! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 That tackle on Colo above is an absolute horror. It could so easily of ended his career. Bardsley is such a vile football player, I would have no problem if he was on the receiving end of a tackle like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webb wasn't going to send him off initially, it took the linesman to tell him it was a bad challenge which doesn't surprise me considering they missed the most blatant handball of the century.

madras Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Is it 2 wins in 40 years still for the mackems on home soil? Yes. theres a cross over period, they had a great run at home without defeat till '92 (i think) from about 59 or 60 but it coincided with a load of draws so also covers our good run at their place.

Ketsbaia Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Dunno if mentioned elsewhere, but Sky Sports confirmed it's the green kit on last night's Fantasy Football Club (where Ryan Taylor was a guest!).
