Since when was football a choice? You can try and win both. Naturally. But I reckon we ask ourselves this question with hindsight in mind. Which would you rather have focused on and won? etc..

Again, you go into the first game trying your best and then worry about the next. Dont know why there should be a choice to 'focus on'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Fulham (A), Saints (H), Stoke (H) as their next 3 games before us. Got to be looking to get at least 4 points as bare minimum from those after their Villa defeat and others, WHU aside (LOL), more or less matching the Christmas form. EDIT: judging by RTG n all they're struggling to shift tickets for the semi v Man United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not worried at all, we're in a good position, Sunderland are the ones desperate for every single point, all the pressure on them. Even if they somehow manage to beat us they're still going down Agree with your first points, but I reckon if they beat us they will stay up, as it will give them the boost they need, just like we gave them last season - had we beat them, im sure they would be in the Championship now.

Cajun Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I fully expect them to get at least a drawer, Pardew doesn't have the mentality for this game. Complete role reversal, I was always nervous but they always lost their bottle so deep down knew we would probably win. Not any more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Absolutely all of Pardews awful qualities seem to come to the fore in these games. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we ballsed it up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd have sympathy if they weren't on RTG claiming they've never, ever done anything wrong and they're being punished for our actions. Must've forgot the pitch invasions every single fucking time they score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Aye one of my mates is moaning on about it, having already moaned on that we're charging them too much for tickets. I've told him simply "don't go then" but I doubt he'll consider that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go quiet when you point that out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Will the buses go straight to the stadium? Seems like a better idea than a police escort walking them up from Central where nuggets from either side can act like Bertie big bollocks behind a police corden.

Benwell Lad Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 While I sympathise with decent fans who are inconvenienced, this has been coming. They've boasted about turning some gay bar over in Newcastle and it's become some badge of honour for them to flood social media with tales about "running at mags" and generally behaving like complete tossers all the way from Sunderland to Newcastle as well as smashing up trains on their way to Middlesbrough or wherever they're playing. They also seem unable to comprehend that unlike the deserted industrial wasteland they call home, Newcastle is a modern bustling city which will also be crowded with people not attending the football match on a Saturday lunchtime.

Its their god given right to whinge about the constant persecution of their species though. Was the SOL derby not the same thing or did they decide against it?

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The way one of my mackem mates is going on is incredible. "if it wasn't for your c***s of fans we wouldn't have to do it" Told him it's just a bus and he'll get over it - "I won't. It's the principal" Told him he can still go out at silly o'clock and drink - "Wey they will have us on the c***s at 9am" As I'm in a group message, a lass I know responded with - "I can see to Joe Bloggs who has no interest why it's a good idea. Saves money and numbers of policing. Just a bit of a pain for fans" To which he responded - "No it's got nothing to do with that. Some c*** punches a horse and I get punished for it. Also wouldn't be much of an issue if they get it as well. But those c***s, despite causing the problem can do whatever they want coming here" Honestly, I've never known so much outcry over getting a bus. f***ing deal with it. Already happens in other derbies. Surprised it's taken this long for Northumbria Police to implement it tbh. As for us not getting the same, it'll probably change next season.

triggs Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have never lived in the area and have only been to Newcastle games a few times so could anyone tell me how long roughly it would take to get from Sunderland to Newcastle in a bus? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
