Sunderland may score, but I doubt they will win. That said, all bets are off in the Tyne/Wear derby.

Do other towns and cities have the police on the streets for home fans travelling to away games?
Newcastle city centre was being heavily controlled by hundreds of police officers at 11 am... most of the bars and pubs opened at 10.30/ 11 am to get the travelling fans well oiled before they set off... are the licensing magistrates in Newcastle completely stupid?

Nah they are just Northern good game though so far.

Sunderland 1 Newcastle 0...that's the current score. But I wasn't prepared to say it earlier.

Sunderland 2 Newcastle 1

Poyet will be remembered for this if nothing else. And then again, lying awake at night, the words 'Chris Hughton' may haunt him.

Didnt Di Canio win his first derby ?

 

[Archie_tect]

Yes but that was in Rome...

[dellzeqq]

you're absolutely right. I take back the thing about Poyet being remembered.

 

[Archie_tect]

How could I have forgotten...

Uh-oh...

I got some funny looks when I laughed out loud as they announced the final score in Morrisons down by Cullercoats.

It doesn't look like MotD 2's going to be a goal extravaganza tonight.

Torres gets the points for Chelsea!
