Looking forward to this. Hoping for a Sunderland win but probably Newcastle.

Up the Meerkats

Lively start, bet the atmosphere in there is amazing.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 12:49 pm**

Socks aside, I'm finding it difficult to tell which team is which at first glance.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 12:52 pm**

I think this is the first game I've got up at 4:30 am for this season. Atmosphere as expected, could do with Sunderland taking the lead to really ramp it up

My Mackem mate is gutted he hasn’t been able to get a ticket for this - first time ever he’s been unable to get a ticket for a home game that he’s wanted to attend

Instead he’s gone up to watch South Shields and is watching this game beforehand in their clubhouse

We were linked with Trai hume the Sunderland right back last season. He looks good so far.

Some 'proper' tackles going in

Anyone know how Jobe Bellingham has played this season? Imagine he will have a very inflated price due to the name.

It’s ridiculous especially when clubs insist on bringing out three kits a season. Their navy or green shirts would be much better for not just those watching but for the players and officials too.

He has done OK, seen Sunderland a few times this season on TV and he has never set the world alight, granted he is only 18 so potential to get better, but his form this season has shown he is a decent Championship player right now, with the obvious potential to progress higher in the game but not to the level of his brother, probably forge a career as a decent mid table Premier League player, if he is lucky with injuries.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:18 pm**

Cannot believe that wasn't a penalty to Newcastle

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:18 pm**

“6 of 1”!! How is that not a penalty? The defender put his arm across him, grabbed his shirt and then leant into him!!

Knowing VAR probably, for me the right call though, both players involved in pulling and grappling with each other. How good is it though watching a game knowing when a decision is made that is the final decision and no sitting and waiting for VAR to get involved.

3 big chances for Longstaff so far, fluffed them all.

Wasn’t a penalty because 1) it was outside the area and 2) wasn’t a foul

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:20 pm**

OG oh dear

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:20 pm**

This is a great game of football.

An absolute throwback to how football used to be with brilliant atmospheres, full-blooded challenges going in all over the park, and no VAR to ruin the game.

1-0 Toon as I type.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:20 pm**

0-1 Toon og.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:20 pm**

Own goal, I guess he had to try and stop it getting further across the goal.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:21 pm**

Half time scores in the other early kick offs:

Wimbledon 1-2 Ipswich
Coventry 3-1 Oxford
Maidstone 1-0 Stevenage
Millwall 0-2 Leicester

Just seen it again and yeah it was outside but definitely a foul. He linked arms with him and then pulled him over. Got absolutely none of the ball.

To be fair if he doesn't try and make a challenge to clear it then Isak is behind him for a tap in. Had to try and do something, unfortunately it went in rather than being cleared.

Isak did the exact same thing in return.

Ballard initiated the contact and made no connection with the ball though. If that was inside the box in a PL game, VAR gives that as a penalty.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:29 pm**

Trippier taking the **** with the corner

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:31 pm**

it's only 1-0 but the gap in quality between the PL and the Championship is there for all to see

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:32 pm**

Two of the most unlikeable players in the league at Newcastle. I don't think I've ever seen Almiron or Gordon get fouled and simply get up. Every time they go down in complete agony and roll about the floor only to get up 5 seconds later like nothing happened.

Yep started really brightly then got caught out a couple of times. Better than what weve got but another that is still young and developing.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:48 pm**

I know it's very hard to judge players on one half and you have to take the team he plays in into account but the first half did nothing to help Sunderland get 20-25 million for Clarke...

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:48 pm**

As already mentioned the gulf between a Premier league team and a Championship team is there for all to see. Sunderland have hardly been in the opposition's penalty box. Anonymous players running around unable to get in the game. Must be so very disappointing for Sunderland fans especially with the big build- up to the game. A stroll so far for Newcastle.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:53 pm**

0-2
Bit like us at the back.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:53 pm**

What a balls up

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:54 pm**

Playing like that against one of the best pressing teams in the world, absolute stupidity.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:54 pm**

game over

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:56 pm**

You just get the impression that Toon could step it up a couple more gears and still not break sweat.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:57 pm**

This lad not used to derby policing. Decent kid though TBH.

Couple of Sunderland players who have really impressed me (not Clarke, he’s been poor):

1. Dan Ballard - despite the OG, he looks an assured defender.
2. Dan Neil - absolutely holding his own physically against a monstrous Newcastle midfield and getting some good passes off.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:02 pm**

Dan Neil is the only Sunderland player I’d want in a Burnley shirt

Newcastle taking the p1ss now
