cp40 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Despite them being in total disarray, us looking like we're in quite decent shape and our players being so much better than theirs, I will gladly sign up to the "happy with a point" brigade. so would I tbh. doesnt stop thier predicament today being funny.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thankfully we don't have Benfica three days before this like last year so should be in a lot better shape Aye we were knacked but the scoreline flattered them. We'd have won if Cisse's onside goal had stood. I think their third was offside. But there's no excuse for letting Johnson shoot on his left - how often has he done that to us? Cut inside, shoot, score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The way we played yesterday we should win this comfortably. But with a derby you just never know. Hopefully we don't get anyone sent off this time - they are there for the taking! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Just don't get anyone stupidly sent off or allow that fucker Johnson to have free shots and I think we'll win. Centre back is obviously a concern though despite Dummetts good performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Getting a head of ourselves again I think Yup. People confidently predicting a win last year and we got dicked. I will take a point as I always would in a derby tbh You'd take a point for every derby? Yup. You don't get beat. Obvs I'd like to win it, but I absolutely hate derby day. I'm a bag if nerves now and it's a week away. For me, our league position is paramount. A point in a derby is fine. It's their cup final, not ours Aye i'd take a point away from home, however would be criminal to accept a point at home to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Have to admit I'd find a draw disappointing. Only one team has failed to beat them so far this season and our players should be motivated after their humiliation last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Altidore getting dogs abuse on Twitter from the mackems at the moment. Let's hope his mam isn't on twitter, or it could be Darren Bent all over again. It's all academic anyway, as the offending tweeters are all, of course.......(drum roll)....Mags! Good chance some are mags highlighting it will only alert the Mag wums to his account anyway Could they be Mags pretending to be Sunderland fans Mags one and all ;D http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/sunderland-fans-who-are-tweeting-altidore-shit.825342/page-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A disgrace is probably a bit of an exaggeration But honestly, if we approach it right and let the football do the talking we should be bringing back all 3 points. Should.

alexf Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yeah I don't agree with the "take a draw for every derby because it means you don't lose" If that was the case then you would miss out on all those great days like the 5:1. Sure occasionally you have to take the good with the bad and you may once in a while get a horrible day like last season but surely it's worth it for the joy of when we beat them. Plus if you look at recent history, I'm always far more confident we will beat them than they will beat us and would see a draw as minimum for home games and see it as a decent result for away games against them. Last year we were just a mess and they caught us on a day where we seemed to be hungover from being dumped out of Europe. Our lot weren't up for it, Sunderland were with their new manager giving them a boost and not to mention we had a perfect goal ruled out to make it 1-1 and they basically scored with each shot they had. The chances of lots of factors like that all conspiring against us again are slim in my opinion. Also think were a stronger side this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If it wasnt a derby match, with all the added pressures that go with it, i would expect us to beat this lot comfortably every match. I expect us to win but it will be a close contest and i hope the referee gets the big decisions right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
