Match Thread: Tyne/Wear Derby - Sunderland AFC v. Newcastle United

Charlie

v.

Saturday Otober 25th 12.45

Stadium of Shite Light

One of the best derbys in world football, perhaps not for footballing reasons, but the atmosphere is always cracking, and bragging rights can make or break a manager in the North East (as Ruud Gullit well knows).

This one should be one of the best in a long time. Sunderland probably have the best squad since Quinny was last togging out for them, and they can rightly claim that their club is in better nick than their neighbours up the road. Factoring in the JFK factor, and the likelihood that Barton will be making his entrance, this one has all the makings of a proper auld derby.

From a Newcastle perspective, whilst we are probably at our lowest ebb going into one of these derbies in a long long time, we have shown signs of late that the fight is back, and that the corner is being turned. Also, the return of Spiderman, Barton, and Shola's confidence, certainly won't do matters any harm, and Habib cleared to play caps off what looks like a good squad.

3 pts for the Toon, and we really can say that a corner has been turned. If we win by two clear goals, we actually go above the Mackems, possibly reaching the lofty heights of 12th. Psychologically, that will be massive, as it will be the first time we will have been out of the bottom 3 for quite some time.

Howay the lads!!!!

Barton to chop a few of Keane's boys and lead the Toon to victory.

Really have a feeling Joey is gonna nick a winner tomorrow. Belter from outside the box!

I will be keeping a keen eye over him during the next week or two for FF reasons. Back in the day, he was an absolute pts machine.

Come on Newcastle!

Charlie

TTBAWA!!!

Changing my prediction, Shola to bag a hatrick, and be cool as fcuk about it

COME ON THE FUCKIN TOON!!!!

Charlie

The away boys are doing us proud. Blaydon races being sung loud and clear.

Charlie

Fcuk.

Ball watching lads.

Charlie

Butty struggling with his niggle, Barton looking likely to come on soon.

Xavi6

Horrible start. Get Joey on.

Charlie

SHOLA

Cracking header, and another great assit for Geremi.

ha ha! sorry, stopped reading after this

game started off decent, ameobis goal has settled Newcastle a bit now.

Newcastle looking a lot better since the goal, martins looks out of it a wee bit, need to have him in the game a bit more, not sure about butt playing on carrying an injury tho.....

Martins doesn''t suit the knock it long tactics we are playing at the minute. He needs to be running with a ball at his feet, not trying knock downs with his back to goal.

Hopefully though if spiderman gets a run out, and Duff can get in to the game, he might get brought into it.

Aye, I reckon Barton will come on for Butty pretty soon. Butt doing his usual graft, but we need to keep and pass the ball better in midfield.

M5

not surprised that our goal came from a set piece, not too much happening for us. Changed a little after the goal, need to be awake after the break, think roy ll be spitting fire as we speak

M5

actually lol at Paul Merson earlier on soccer saturday, "this match is not on sky usually hence its not a big game" can anyone remember this fixture not being televised?

eirebhoy

Duff is actually showing signs of his old self at club level. At one point he got the ball in a tight situation. A few months ago he'd have taken the easy option and played the pass back. Instead he turned, dipped his shoulder and strolled by Whitehead and showed excellent control. Some encouraging signs.

Cocaine and Booze have a habit of fcuking with your brain.



Agree Eirebhoy about Duff, there is a lot more hunger and ambition in his play than last year. Great to see.

Listening to fivelive, it sounds like Sunderland "fans" are not covering themselves in glory.

Is that about the Joey Barton thing? Just saw him warming up, he pretty much has to do it in the technical area, and it was mentioned that one fan tried to get to him as he was warming up.

From what Shreeves said, one of them tried jumping the rails to take a lump out of Barton as he was warming up. Police had to ask Joey to warmup in the Newcastle technical area.

Charlie

Barton on.

Fcuk its noisey.

M5

mackems better side in the second half, simple as that....

Necronomicon

That was some free kick from Richardson.

mike65

Its all kicking off, fans on the pitch punches being thrown. The cops arrive eventually.

Agreed, our tactics were setup wrong playing a side of bruisers. The amount of times we hoofed it long to Oba expecting him to knock it down. :mad:

Have to say that I though Joey looked great when he came on. Passed it very well, and thats what we need in our midfield right now.

Its all getting nast down one of the corners, looks like the riot police are being brought in now.

Mushy

Some fun scenes there alright. Will Richard and Jamie be able to talk about the match at all? People will want to see the fans stuff.

He really did. I wouldnt be too annoyed though lads. As my mate said it had to happen eventually. West Brom next at home after them losing 3-0. Really really hope you hop off them. Good luck(Lets hope we beat these fuks tomorrow )
