Newcastle v Sunderland

Any interest in this? I usually enjoy it. Always a proper derby game.

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 2:38pm

A booking after 90 seconds, it should have been the second one :pac:

Soups123 · 21-12-2014 2:38pm

Yep more times than not these two throw out a great game

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 2:39pm

Another yellow, this could get messy.

Hopefully a yellow for Tiote (he's on 4 for the season), a Newcastle sending off and a Sunderland win. Good preparation for the United game on Stephen's day :pac:

SlickRic · 21-12-2014 2:43pm

How the hell is Tiote not booked yet?

I can't see Tiote getting through this without a card. A yellow is almost a given.

Yeah, he'll surely get done for persistent fouling at the very least. Commuted a few already.

Be careful what you wish for, only won 1 of 8 games Tiote has played in this season.

Need a keeper fit soon, young Jak doesn't inspire much confidence at all.

Crowd doing their best to get behind him but the sooner Krul is back fit the better

SlickRic · 21-12-2014 2:52pm

Still no booking.

Amazing.

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 2:53pm

Should have scored there, harder to miss.

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 2:54pm

Ha, he gets one when he doesn't foul.

The Backwards Man · 21-12-2014 2:55pm

Gets booked for the one challenge that wasn't a foul!

Still, improves the chances against Man U

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 2:56pm

What a ball from Larsson, great effort too.

Johner · 21-12-2014 2:57pm

Fletcher unlucky there.

Gits_bone · 21-12-2014 2:57pm

Anlwick is an awful keeper, mistakes a plenty if Sunderland played the right ball in.

kevinroche3333 · 21-12-2014 3:04pm

Ameobi a total liability so far

Mars Bar · 21-12-2014 3:38pm

Full force faceplant in to the post. That's got to hurt

Mars Bar · 21-12-2014 3:41pm

That is an unforgivable miss by Gomez

Awful, far too casual.

Mars Bar · 21-12-2014 3:50pm

Does Alnwick know how to actually catch a ball?

Oh, great save!

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 3:51pm

Good stop and effort. Has to be a goal in this soon.

5starpool · 21-12-2014 4:04pm

Entertaining enough, but a real lack of quality in finishing by both teams so far.

Mars Bar · 21-12-2014 4:05pm

Both teams are pooping their pants in front of goal

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 4:05pm

Awful effort from Johnson.

Richard Hillman · 21-12-2014 4:05pm

It's like watching one those championship matches they show on Sky.

Yep, entertaining and evenly matched.

5starpool · 21-12-2014 4:18pm

One went in!

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 4:18pm

Nice break, thought the chance had gone a couple of times there.

The Backwards Man · 21-12-2014 4:18pm

Foul a man right or don't foul him at all

Duff · 21-12-2014 4:18pm

I don't believe it.

Mars Bar · 21-12-2014 4:18pm

That's what might happen if you stay on your feet!

Will I Amnt · 21-12-2014 4:20pm

Too many twists and turns there from Larsson, he had Coloccini done on the first one.

5starpool · 21-12-2014 4:24pm

Horses all over Tyneside will be cowering in fear this evening!

Johner · 21-12-2014 4:26pm

Enjoyable end to the game, well done Poyet and Sunderland.

Unearthly · 21-12-2014 4:29pm

Sack Pardew again?

RasTa · 21-12-2014 4:43pm

Good photo

That_Guy · 21-12-2014 5:05pm

Jesus wept.

Corholio · 21-12-2014 5:14pm

Any reason Cisse didnt start? Newcastle looked well short up front.

Paully D · 21-12-2014 5:25pm

Couldn't see it happening pre-game but an unprecedented 4 in a row now

A well deserved victory and it could have been more if Wickham, Johnson and Gomez hadn't missed massive chances.

With Hull to come at home on Boxing Day hopefully this game can be the kick start of turning some of these draws into wins.

Very surprised to see how quiet this match thread was, but I guess it shows the apathy many Newcastle fans now hold towards Pardew and co.

Paully D · 22-12-2014 12:09am

I watched the game back in a bit more of a relaxing setting before sitting down to Match of the Day.

While I do think we were relatively comfortable throughout, the real turning point for me was Pardew bringing on Cisse for Tiote after about 70 minutes. Sissoko was controlling midfield from the start of the second half up until that point, but that change really turned the screw in midfield. Newcastle's shape just disintegrated with it.

A bit rich for Pardew calling the players naive in the post-match interview when really he made a huge tactically naive decision today. I guess he can say he went for the win, but that wasn't the type of game to get brave in. As someone on Twitter said, he could probably see the "Pardew's substitutions wins derby for Newcastle" headlines in tomorrows papers!

How did Coates play Paully? From reading online, he got very good reviews?

Very shakey start but settled down after a while. Perez turned him inside out in the box a few times and only for poor finishing could/should have been punished. I thought he did okay bordering on good, but he must get additional credit as he wasn't supposed to be playing at all until Reveilere was injured in the warm up. Probably not as good as a lot of match reports are saying IMO but they can't all be wrong I guess. :pac:

As far as I'm aware he was injured, so I'd say a run of games will help him. I'm a fan of him tbh, and although he is probably a small bit off what is needed at Liverpool, he could do really well for another club.

Will I Amnt · 22-12-2014 9:38am

I thought he was fairly composed considering he was on a yellow for 88 minutes in such a high intensity game, with Newcastle being the busier side for most of it.

I thought he had a shaky start too, but settled as the game went on.

Good last ditch tackle on Perez I think it was, especially as he was on a yellow.
