Brilliant game today but the very best part was we didnt have to hold our breath for the expected onslaught and the nerves we have been so used to over the years. The quality of football being played was priceless. I never had any doubts that we would hold on and Mannone just lets me watch every opposition attack with smugness !
" one of the most humiliating defeats by Sunderland in our entire history, and the first time since 1923 that Newcastle have lost three successive league games to Sunderland "
