Not drawing the Mags in the cup

An objective, neutral, fan looking at the team bottom of the premiership with one of the worst starts to the season, playing the team top of the championship with ten wins from fourteen, scoring more than two a game would probably bet on the championship side at home. Depends where the game would be played I guess? I doubt there's much between us, Burnley, Hull, Boro, Norwich and the mags at the minute like. Maybe even throw Swansea into the mix. Confidence and organisation would probably play a big part, so we'd be screwed on that score.

I'd prefer it away. We'd get a crap crowd at home and we'd be hearing about it for the next 200 years.
 
It would have at least given us something exciting to look forward to.

They'd have probably been the favourites but we still have more than enough to beat a championship side. It might have been the boost we needed.

Do we?

The team is absolutely shocking

Defoe would rip them to shreds. You seen the clip of their defence?

I don't agree. Think our team is so bad at the minute, with a shite manager to boot

I would not have fancied us at all against them.
They are no great shakes, but they are full of confidence, whereas we are rock bottom.
Makes a massive difference.
 
Yeah probably for the best, while I still think we have a better team our confidence is rock bottom while they are riding high. I also doubt Moyes could motivate the players for it (or anything else for that matter.)

What is Moyes derby record like?

Confidence cannot be over estimated.
Our was decimated by the collapse against Palace, while the opposite happened with them and Norwich.

I honestly think if we had won there and they lost against Norwich the outlook at both clubs would be massively different.

Momentum, momentum momentum

How you think you have a better team is quite honestly beyond me :lol:

The team you have now consists of championship players and players who last year proved they couldnt cut it, but look a bit too good in the lower league. Our players are the ones that stayed up at your expense. Quite simple really :cool:

Kirchoff, Borini, Defoe, Kone, Pickford, Cattermole, PVA would all sail into your team.

iirc, chod. But then I dont think he's ever had a derby where he has managed a top flight team and the derby was with a lower league team.

McClaren relegated us long before the greatest day in your clubs history when you scraped survival again.

We've bought better players than you in the window since, and have a stronger team than you and handful of others in the premier league, but since we're spending a season in the championship our players automatically don't stack up apparently.

Deep down you all know with our squad and manager we would be above you in the premier league, I'm certain our team could manage more than 2 points in a very poor premier league, the standard at the bottom is atrocious.

I don't think you lot actually grasp how bad your team is, let me tell you its absolutely dire, and its not a stretch to say any team at the top end of the championship couldn't get a result against the mighty 2 point Sunderland.

You sound exactly like the boro fans last season and they were 'nailed on top 10'... they've only beat our reserves....
 
As shit as us?

Deluded as ever :lol:

:lol: Our best eleven would scud your lot man. Its just a shame we havent been able to field a team even close to it yet.

Perez, Shelvey and co looked dross last season. Because they are. Then youve added players like Gayle, Ritchie and Daryl f***ing Murphy, none of whom could cut it (and these are your best players) :lol:

Are you for real?

Defoe and kone are the only 2 outfield players that would get in their team yet they have at least 6 or 7 that would walk into ours.

Perez
Ritchie
Gayle
Shelvey
Colback
Diame
Yedlin

All would walk into our current starting 11 and most with our fully fit 11.

Just blinkered bollocks playing the uber as per.
 
The list of players HugeBlurt has just listed man.... even put Colback in there ahead of Ndong, Cattermole and Kirchoff, what a tit. He is so transparent, the gonk :lol:

A Mag I know reckons they're going to get close to 50k tonight against Preston, canny going that like.

Even at a 10er a ticket that is tremendous. Not surprising though, they are the first to get carried away.
