This is kinda like getting beaten by a League Two team...

Fucks sake man, I thought we'd fucking conceded there! Just Cisse offside again I take it...

Probably stick Ben Arfa on now...

You're kidding...not only is our main goalkeeper going off, but we use up a sub for it. Doesn't feel like this is going to be our day...

BBC just reported that in all our history, we've never come from behind to win a Tyne Wear Derby (at home presumably)...

I think we're going to see some reds today, and in all honesty, it'll probably be for us. Taylor I'd imagine, in some last gasp attempt to stop on of their players getting away from him.

Balls to that. They can't keep up at this intensity, but that high pressing is really working for them.

Apparently the Sunderland team just got off the bus to a wall of abuse. A lot of people seem to think there's going to be violence today, I'm not sure I see it myself.

I dunno, I doubt they'd need to. I'm not sure where the bite is going to come from for Sunderland. Only concern is Jonas at left back, but to be fair to the guy, he'll work hard. I'd be much more worried if I was them. Graham probably won't last 90 minutes, who would they bring on then?

It really does - this could be the strongest side we've put out all season.

How is that in any way appropriate? Yet it feels like this always happens.

Not tried a desktop like - I also can't speak for the laptops, this one is a netbook more than anything, tiny screen. Battery life though is 6 hours which I think is pretty good? I think it's just a supercharged netbook; it's noisy as hell mind. That game does look good actually, although I get the feeling it's spec requirements may be quite high? Might be a good test for the new machine I guess. Enemies look pretty awesome! Assuming about 60 hours gameplay?

I've heard of the second one but sure I'll give those a look. Would also agree on DA2 being easier; with that said, I was never one for the tactics anyway - more a hack 'em slash 'em gamer. Just play for the experience. Story was engaging too, which I think is crucial. I just bought this: http://www.dell.com/...ware-m14x-r2/pd Alienware M14x; £900 on that link, but I found a 15% off voucher by just googling for it. Saved me about £150. Most cost efficient 10 seconds I've ever spent. Also I customised it so it wasn't quite the standard one anyway, but about the same price. Really happy with it!

Really enjoyed re-watching that.

Bit windy today like. Feeling supremely confident myself, just cannot see what is effectively the remnant of their already shit team beating us.

I don't know if anyone reads this sort of thing, but an interview with Tim Krul here concerning the derby: http://www.guardian....stle-sunderland Also interesting to hear about his growing into the team etc. I quite like the Guardian interviews of players - they've done Cabaye and Saylor in the last year as well. It's good to get some deeper content.

Mate you're lucky - I want to sleep but fucking can't cos I have work to do. I swear I'm too old for this studying nonsense. Knowing my luck I'll probably sleep straight through the game...

I might've known it'd be something created by CT...

A new variant on cheesy chips perhaps? Cheesy beans?

I'm bored out of my skull due to having to complete two 4000 word essays for my course this weekend. Also, I have to go to sodding London for work tomorrow evening, so my entire weekend will have been spent working on reports or at work in London. Just felt like complaining about it.

Yes, sadly it seems he may be quite the player as well. I didn't think it would lead to the 'psychological trauma' that Martinez was going on about. Although Carver shook him up a bit I'd wager. With that said, Milwall outdid themselves today and made me despise them more than Wigan. I've watched some of the scenes now - absolute bunch of tossers. In fairness it's probably not their usual fans but even still, it's often their club.

Just noticed this myself. We could feasibly end up looking like we had a fairly poor season instead of a catastrophic one at this rate. I think Swansea are about as high as we could get though, doubt we'd get any further than that. Will be interested in Stoke's game tomorrow as well.

That's not embarrassing, that's superb.

Could be I guess. Wigan through anyway - and in Europe I guess. If Wigan win a trophy before we do I don't know what I'll do...
