WilliamPS Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 This match isn’t even in the top ten most important games of the season. Sunderland are a midtable championship side, so yeah it’s their biggest game, but compared to Milan in the CL it’s nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing your local rivals is as big a game as they come, to most football fans. It's certainly one of the most emotive. Even when they were a PL team, it didn't make a huge difference to the overall season outcome, but fuck me, I wanted us to beat them so badly Edited December 5, 2023 by Klaus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) In the likely event we win, they'll almost certainly big up that they're the moral winners in not being owned by murderous regime tbh.

Not that they need to be ranked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if BBC or ITV have specific slots they need to use, sure BBC normally show an early Saturday game and its never going to be the Friday/Monday night ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn responded with something like "fair"... no Dan, since for like 7 of those seasons we've been in a different fucking league to these mackem cunts... wish he'd fired back Edited December 5, 2023 by Elric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they will - as if they (or anyone else) had a say in that. We know exactly how they’d have reacted under the same circumstances - and they know we know that, which is why that ‘defence’ is as hollow as the middle of a doughnut.

McDog Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I'll be honest, when I started following Newcastle during the glory days they never showed the ground before the game which is why I had no fucking idea what Blaydon Races was. I laughed in the early 2000's when the three relegated teams had funny team badges posted on the internet which included the Sunderland ship broken in half and sinking. All that to say since I do not live in nor grew up in the northeast of England you Geordies press on. I'll follow your lead because you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that to say since I do not live in nor grew up in the northeast of England you Geordies press on. I'll follow your lead because you know. All you will ever need to know about the mackems are these two things: That they had several seasons in a row finishing below 40 points in the PL, but they beat us half a dozen times in a row, and therefore those are their glory years. They will be telling tales of this sixty years hence to their great-great-grandchildren (they breed them early in Sunderland) round the camp fire Also, they have a thread going on rtg asking whether they would rather get promotion or beat the Mags in the FA Cup. It’s a landslide win for beating the mags on there They are utterly obsessed, which is what makes this stuff all the funnier - they believe we are too, but we do it for piss-taking. There is a genuine rage within that lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Think we should just fucking ghost them tbh. Rock up with Dummett and Ritchie et al. and be like, 'oh this is a big game for you is it? Sorry, we're just not that bothered. We've just had a crunch top of the table game against Liverpool not long after our crunch Champions League game against Milan, but it's sweet you guys made the effort for us.'

You see, we're just not that bothered Sunderland. No, no, it doesnt matter that you've beat us once again, it was only our fringe players you see. Yes, yes, we've been talking about this game for weeks, but what we're actually bothered about is Liverpool and Milan. Full strength please. I cant be chewed with another loss to them lot.

As much as we/everyone likes to talk-up the passion of this game, not sure if noise levels are going to be any more intimidating than Paris, Dortmund and Milan. Not to mention some of the noisier Premier League grounds the whole squad are used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there are any ‘options’ for us lesser mortals. I’ve seen three games there (well, two were at RP), in the wrong end, and one in our end. Would walk there to be in the ground.
