Taylor I actually think as a team we are far better, not that they have shown it. Newcastle battled last year and got promotion and have a far better team spirit. Sunderland at this present time have a bunch of mercenaries that will hopefully learn about the passion of derby football.
Unfortunately this year Newcastle have shown them how to go on, hopefully next year, if you are still in the premiership

, we will have the oppourtunity to get our revenge. I am truly thankful that you didn't do the double as the s***e drifting from the Tyne would have been unbeareable.
Both teams are poor though, and I fear that one or both could still be drawn into a relegation dog fight.
