Newcastle Sunderland

Really looking forward to this one.

One of my favourite derbies.

Have often thought it must to be great to come from a one city club where you, all your mates and colleagues and everyone in the main supports the same club....it must affect the mood and atmosphere to a degree.

The fact that these two meet that criteria and are only roughly the distance of Charlton to Chelsea yet are still both their own cities adds to it too.

Have always had a soft spot for Sunderland for obvious reasons and Newcastle because of Byker Grove.

Should be a good un

  • C'mon Sunderland!
  • PS I think Defoe should be in the England squad. One of the most underrated English strikers of the past decade or so,
  • Defoe scores just before half time.

    Good stuff, had him first goalscorer.
  • He had 2 decent chances before that. Decent save by Elliot for the initial shot but comes out to Defoe to slot it in the far corner.
  • 3 ex addicks in the game, Elliott and JonJo for United, Defoe for the Mackems. Good goal by Defoe after a great reaction save from Robbie.
  • Hang in there Mackems and the Nigels are bang in bother.
  • Colback is lucky not to be booked for a second time.
  • Sunderland left back is quality

    He seems to have been their best player this season. Newcastle are appaling.

    Yeah, he's made a few great saves.

    Thing is we had Defoe in the England squad for years and we managed nothing... Would be a case of try fail, try fail, try fail... Eventually you have to stop using the same old players

    So why have him in the squad ahead of some young hungry Striker who could actually make a difference for once.
  • Whenever I watch Sunderland on TV they always seem pretty decent, not sure how they've got themselves into this state.
  • Benitez needs to push Winjaldum further forward in behind the CF. He's wasted in the holding position.
  • Newcastle really are poor - see Shelvey taking up the Wilkins mantle of sideways passing - never rated him.
  • Newcastle don't appear to have any shape whatsoever. Alladyce has Sunderland lined up in solid banks and looking dangerous on the counter. Don't keep many clean sheets, but Newcastle are clueless....

    Cue an equalizer

    Yeah, if Winjaldum stays further up the pitch.

  • Sunderland sit too deep after going in front. You could see an equaliser coming really. I've watched a few Sunderland games this season and it's been their problem. They always fail to hold lead.
  • Dreadful foul throw from Sunderland that then gave possession to Newcastle for the build up to the equaliser. The Mackem player would have been slaughtered for that playing Sunday morning football, let alone Premiership!

    Pleased for Robbie that they got something.

    He way to good for Newcastle! Quality player
  • Isn't someone supposed to say......

    No premier-league scores ?

    Seperate threat mate... nae bother...
  • Will Robbie be offered a new contract ? Or has he signed a new one. Some of the saves he has made were top drawer.
  • edited March 2016
    Not sure about his contract situation but he's indeed been impressive this season, probably the best player in the entire Newcastle squad and I'm really pleased for him. Hopefully he'll go on to be Ireland's first choice goalkeeper. There are four in the recently named squad for the upcoming games and he's the only one that's been playing regularly in the top division. If I remember correctly, Randolph's made just a few appearances for West Ham, mostly in Cup competitions. (I feel slightly sorry for Henderson as he could've been selected had he been playing regularly for us.)

    He signed one in 2014, according to Wikipedia
