Who would want to be a Sunderland supporter this weekend? They are arguably there for the taking and it doesn’t help Newcastle United have found some goals.
Even new boss Sam Allardyce believes the pressure is on him in this massive derby. Granted the Magpies have only one win in the bag but that is one more than their hosts. Wins, not to mention big wins, boost confidence and Big Sam is shroud enough to know that.
Allardyce having lost his first match in charge last weekend and must be aware that none of the last 3 Sunderland bosses lost their first match against their arch rivals
Sky Reports: “Sunderland have won the last five encounters with Newcastle and Allardyce told the Sunderland Echo: “I've got to look after the reputation of Sunderland.
”The pressure's on me more than it's on Steve. We've won the last five, so I don't want to be the one who doesn't win it.
“But we'll wait and see on the players - only the players can make everyone smile next week. They just 'have to carry on what they have done five times before.
They have been struggling, but won the last five games against Newcastle. They don't need me to coach them this week! Let's hope for the same again.”
One thing is for sure this is a fixture I don't want to miss, the action, the passion and usually the goals leave nothing to the imagination.
Unfortunately for Big Sam the writing is on the wall, in my opinion that is and I would put money on it being by two goals. Newcastle fans would like that I'm sure.
