I honestly think it will be a scrappy 1-1 draw

FAO of mags

How good/bad are you atm?

This

we are poor, tired they look like they are saving themselves for the Europa league, but we'll probably be out of that by Sunday.

We miss creativity of Ben arfa, and Cabeye was woeful on Sunday. Hopefully Toite will miss out, he's a liability at the best of times, but in a game like this where someone will be on top of him anytime he touches the ball, that split second he usaully holds onto it could be vital

But sundays last minute win was massive for us against you's, as it takes a bit of the pressure off and that's when we're at our worst (under pressure)

Very tight and low scoring game that could go either way. I'd take a draw now as it would keep a 5 point cusion between us and another relegation contender. My concern for us is that we are not scoring enough goals or creating enough chances. Plenty of the ball but little end product. Don't think fitness is an issue for us. Yes we are playing a lot of games but there is also no better fitness than match fitness. I am glad that Cattermole, Gardner and Fletcher miss out due to their battling and goalscoring threats. The lack of Collo, Ben Arfa, Santon and whoever else evens this out.

A lot depends on who starts strongest and first goal is vital.
 
Under MON I was either expecting us to bore our way to a draw or be beat comfortably by 3 goals. Now with PDC though I'm slightly more optimistic, in that first half against Chelsea we seemed to have a little bit extra of everything. After another full week with the new gaffer I expect us to be as good as we were against Chelsea in that first half and hopefully that little bit fitter.

All in all though I think it'll mirror last season's derby at the SDA. We'll take the lead and it'll be our first half. We'll get pegged back in the second though and they'll claim a deserved point. 1-1

it is to sunderland but not us, that's not being arrogant but the fulham win which the crowd knew, was massive .For me this has heaped all the pressure on you's to come and get something, i personally don't think a point IS a good result, 3 points are desperate for you .

it's between you and wigan to go down.

i think the game is a nailed on draw, we are playing decent but looking tired in the first half oddly, so you need to get right at us from the off because if we go in level i think we will beat you in the second half

and it looks like HBA is back for this so that's another plus for us

good luck, but not to much:lol:

Stoke?
 
Scum 0 The Lads 6

Johnson - 1
Larsson - 2
Titus - hat-trick

Di Canio to chin Pardew.
Cattermole to smash 10 cars up.
All the mags to shit themselves and run when the big hard Sunderland fans rock up at central station.

:cool:
 
Think it'll be scrappy but i honesty think we're gonna win. Probably 2-1. :-D Cabaye sent off.
 
2-0 home win, one Sunderland player sent off and pelantee given
 
Newcastle 3 - 0 Sunderland, We give away a penalty early, Ndiaye then gets him self sent off, they score two more after half time. :-(
 
Good to see the board is feeling positive as usual.:lol:

Christ, I'm one of PDC's biggest doubters on here but even I have faith that he'll have us fired up. Di Canio shouldn't need to fire up the players, the game itself should get them going.
 
All my hopes are pinned on Sess having a stormer.

All my hopes are pinned on Pardew suddenly having a massive heart-attack, a stroke and being hit by a bolt of lightning at the same time because short of that theirs precious little that can stop Newcastle from winning. They are not suffering from a lack of confidence. They are not suffering from a crisis in goal scoring. They are not defensively leaking goals. They are playing with a tactic and with a level of fitness that we are only just beginning to try and get ourselves. They have quality players of a calibre we simply don't have.
 
I can see Di Canio playing 5 in the middle (Colback, N'Diaye and either Vaughan or Larsson) Using AJ and Sess out wide. On that basis going for 1-1
 
We need to have both clubs in the top flight.

I'd be reasonably happy with a draw - but perhaps a few goals ....2-2

I'm sure he will but there's the slight problem of us having no goal scorers left.
 
Lets be honest, its 2 poor sides. They just seem to have something over us on the pitch when we face each other. Saying that, I am slightly more confident than normal. Hopefully paolo can have a good week with them in training and we come out fighting. If we start well, we have a chance. Still really don't see us winning if I am honest, so will go for a draw. Would take that now.

Do we fuck, I'd love you ***** do gan down.

Same here. They can go fuck themselves for me.
