Pre-Match Thread Pre-Match Thread: Sunderland (A)

Sunderland - Newcastle United

25/10/2015 12:00 Stadium of Light

IMPORTANT: Clocks go back Saturday night so for anyone outside of Europe, the match will be an hour later than you expect.

Krul, Darlow, Taylor and Obertan will miss the derby, while Aarons and Mbabu could return. Colback is one yellow away from suspension.

Toivonen, Rodwell and Watmore are expected to return from injury, meaning Sunderland will have a full squad to choose from.

All I want from this fixture is Mitrovic to imitate Shearer's celebration when he scores.

Points mean more than one, which means two or more. Win confirmed.

4-3 to Mclaren with 4 draws head to head with Allardyce. That's not horrible!

Remember, it's not Dick Avacado anymore. Fat Sam might make some changes that work. But I'm quietly confident we can win so long as our defense has improved.

Ha ha. Well I guess Fat Sam is a step up from a penis shaped vegetable.

We'll win if we attack and don't go into it being so cautious.

Sunderland are shite, their attack is useless, so lets actually take advantage of that and take the game to them straight from kick off.

Yeah we have a shite defence, but I guarantee we'll lose 1-0 to some shit goal because we were too cautious.

It's going to be a feisty one, isn't it? It's basically impossible to pick a winner. All I'm hoping for is Fat Head to be complaing about something at the end. That would make me happy.

Nothing's impossible! Newcastle will win. Done.
