Drawn at home to Mags in FA Cup


Back in the day when we played with 2 strikers up top, both of whom scored goals. What odds no Sunderland striker scores a league goal before the FA Cup 3rd round?
 
The pressure is all on them to win however ....

knowing our luck / history on such occasions we will draw with them 1- 1 at home and then lose about 6- 0 in the replay.

.. that would be Sunderland all over.

Bring them on.
 
Moan when we don’t get them moan when we do 😂
I want nothing to do with them in general, I don't think of them as the same football club we once had a 100+ year rivalry with. They are nothing but a franchise of the Saudi state now

However, their fans lap it up, and will never stop going on about it if they win. Which you have to expect will be the case.

So from my viewpoint, this is lose-lose. I just want to pretend they don't exist anymore.
 
Their fans will be super-confident, but deep down they will also be worried sick.
Cup upsets happen in the 3rd Round, let’s make this another one.
Cannot wait.
Bring it on.
Cup upsets tend to happen because teams higher up the ladder are complacent. That won’t happen in a derby.
