sunderland - League derbies are back

[elbee909]

Sunderland coming up is another example of refs being said off, it's the Saudis wanting them up you see. It can't be down to having good luck as only the mags have luck on their side!

He's absolutely fucked it there hasn't he?

How? He's basically saying we'll batter them if they don't improve?

I am, unfortunately, very happy for a lot of my mates. Absolute joy and emotion this weekend. The collective may not deserve it, but the individuals do. 

 

 

I’m happy for my 73 year old father whose supported them all his live and excepts this may be the last season he sees them in the premiership so he reading himself to a season ticket. He really does deserve it.

Good for him. I don't have the hatred because I have not lived in NE England. I do hope he isn't too upset when they get throttled twice a year.

It’s funny because he also watches all our matches and we will talk on the phone for ages about each others game every week. I now live in Leicester but came up to watch the game with him this weekend as he was watching it alone, on tv that is.  He knows we’re gonna hammer them and they’re probably going to come straight back down, just gonna enjoy the ride he says.

That's brilliant. I completely get it.  Don't trash me here NO but I wish him the best. Is it the worst thing in the world to have them lower table and two derbies a year?

It isn’t the worst thing. Especially not when the alternative is a Sheffield United side who’d once again contribute nothing to the league.

I feel he's jinxed it. That'll end up on one of their banners.

People can feel that way themselves bu as a generalisation it obviously isn't true, though I confess I don't get the sentiment at all, especially considering the last few years which like Keegan and latter Sir Bobby are the best experiences we've had whilst they've not been a factor whether in the same league or not.

 

We've got a bigger game tomorrow than any derby I can think of, one of a few this season alone that have been. When we've got nothing else (Ashley) or its competitive (2years around the Millennium) it is.

 

 

 

Agreed - it’s not THE fixture by a long chalk.  If I was asked to list my top 20 NUFC games in my lifetime, I’m not sure if Sunderland would feature in one of the matches on the list

Their result yesterday will feel eminently worse if we don’t get champions league. I feel quite relaxed about them coming up because when we’re face them we’re going to be even stronger. We also have a manager who will set us up perfectly for it rather than idiots like Pardew who played into their hands all the time.
