Imagine a few years ago when Newcastle were getting taken over by Saudi, and Sunderland were in League 1, that in a few years Sunderland would be above Newcastle and beating them in the prem.

Biggest Derby in the country arguably but all right

The Old Firm derby is the biggest in Britain. But for any of the derbies no one really cares about it apart from the fans of the two clubs involved.

He said biggest in the country. Not sure what Scotland has to do with that, especially since they hate being grouped in with England.

Your second sentence is also wrong. People over here absolutely do buy into the big derby matches, more than other neutral matches. And the media coverage plays to that.

Britain is an island, not a country.

Don't even know where to start here but if love you to go into Glasgow telling them how they're apart of England see how that goes for ya.

But also that's just wrong second sentence, watch any coverage of the PL, some people have a different #1 choice but Sunderland Newcastle is massive in England and arguably the biggest in the country, doesn't take much to learn that

 

[FreoRicci]

Sunderland winning the Derby AND being above Newcastle was not on anyone’s bingo sheet at any point this season. At all.
Expected to go straight down.

 

[Cruyff14]

What a strike from Rogers to put Villa in front, I need to get him into my SC team instead of Watkins who has been subbed off.

Nobody cares, stop talking about it.

 

[chef]

Quality goals from Rogers. Having a cracking season and Villa playing some nice to watch football.

Nice to see CHO in the goals too.

I never said Glasgow was part of England. I said it was the biggest derby in Britain. But having lived there most of my life I can tell you that no-one in England cares about it. Same as no-one in Manchester or London cares about the Tyne-Wear derby.

I must have missed the bantz on here between the Newcastle and Sunderland supporters.

Or you could just admit you're wrong because you're basically saying only world wide supported clubs can be big derbies which aint true.

Feel free to do some research before going off half cocked next time, just search up biggest UK derbies and you'll find that Derby near the top of every list. I've been watching quite alot of pl stuff in the build up and it's been talked about alot and unanimously rated 1-2.

People in Newcastle don't give a **** about London derbies or Merseyside derbies so they obviously don't count either

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What the hell was Vicario doing for that first goal? He wasn't much better for the second either.

The Tyne-Wear Derby was pretty dour, but an awesome result for Sunderland who continue to exceed expectations. Important points too given that they'll lose a few of their starting XI to AFCON so their depth will now be tested for the next month. Newcastle were gormless, they simply offered nothing at all and didn't look remotely threatening once.

You almost have to have them in title discussions. The only question mark is depth, especially given they're dealing with Europa as well. If they're in the same position in the New Year (three points off first), then the focus should be the league and should purely play depth in Europa. A full-strength Villa could easily win Europa, but if the opportunity for a League title presents, you take that without blinking.

I don't need to any research ha ha. I lived there for over 30 years. Sure, the derbies are big games but the heightened intensity is between the two set of fans. You're looking at it through the eyes of someone who follows the game from the other side of the world. I do too now. But it's not like that over there. Of course the media will talk it up.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Step too far for Palace, City will win the title. Clinical finishing, while we hit the post and hit the bar Foden and Haaland put it away.

26 games this season already for Palace's small squad, 3 more in the next 8 days, and whilst it's admirable for Glasner to say he wants to win everything, our squad can't sustain it.

Odd to call the title in December, but sure.

 

[Jaymin]

It must bring a tear to your eye Bradesmaen watching DCL scoring for fun.

 

[And_ROOS]

Feel for Palace, theres a risk they do what Bournemouth have currently and have form/injuries drop off and plummet down the table.

Wild how hot Bournemouth started the season and how poorly Villa started, and now over the last 11 games Villa are 10W 0D 1L and Bournemouth are 2W 5D 4L.
Massive swings.

It will be interesting to see how teams react to AFCON losses, Sunderland lose 6 with 4 of them being starters against Newcastle, Man U lose Mbeumo, Diallo and Mazraoui, Everton lose Ndiaye and Gueye, Palace lose Sarr.

Can see all those teams dropping points over the next few weeks but especially Man U and Sunderland.

Your example is again comparing English interest in a Scottish game in a different league. It's not at all the same as English interest in neutral games not featuring their own club. The big derbies, especially up north, do get eyes and attention.

I've lived over here most of the past 15 years and your perspective simply doesn't ring true. Of course it's the supporters of the two clubs that have the furious intensity and care for who wins. But the whole "nobody else gives a shit" thing is flat out incorrect. It only applies for the myopic view that a football supporter is only interested in their own club. It's flat out wrong as even a Darlington supporter tends to have an interest in the Premier League - no allegiance required.

Media coverage is tuned to interest of the nation. They don't care about appeasing one or two sets of supporters for a day. Sky sent Neville there for that reason, not so that Sunderland supporters felt seen. The derbies are big, and the Tyneside derby is a big one.

United looked to have turned a corner with Amorim and are becoming a decent side.

Cunha looks a smart buy.

Cracking finish from Semenyo. Shaw needs to go in the bin and replaced at LB.

The pass by Mount wasn’t great, but yes, Shaw needs replacing.

I guess atleast Mount got on his bike to try and defend, Shaw just stood their with his hands in the air.

Speaking of Mount, its nice to see him getting some continuity and finding a bit of his old form.

Yeah, that’s been really good to see. Mount is a good footballer.
