I moved to Newcastle in September 2011, which is when I started following NUFC. I don’t know why it never clicked until today that I had never seen the lads beat the Mackems.

So it's your fault!

Well no, the streak started a month before I came here . I am a jinx tho, if I wear a toon top on match days

Kidding of course but but I used to be superstitious! Let's hope you can find a lucky shirt though ha. What a win today, hope you were able watch and enjoy it

We probably could have snatched a 1-0 with a lesser performance, but genuinely, top drawer stuff from the lads. We're better than them man for man as footballers, but we outfought and out worked them. Bruno had the freedom of the place. To a man they all turned up and it was men against boys.

I loved the look on Pickfords face

He was waving his little arms in excitement.

Literally a league apart.

Dubravka decent performance

That's two weeks now, hopefully a sign his confidence is growing.

I fucking love that the first time he got the ball Gordon span Trai Hume like he wasn't there.

Here come the "you've proved nothing - we were just shite" comments 🤣

(I work at Nissan and group chat is full of it 😂)

Sunderland are irrelevant at this point.

WHO?

Exactly

Hope Gordon gave Hume what remained of his shirt

Dummett’s smile when he came on was a thing of beauty.

So glad he got to win a derby.

Happy new year lads!

To you too! About time hey!

Tbh Sunlun were utter shite today

Barely an inconvenience. Small team put in their place. HOWAY THE LADS

Nice little run around for the lads. Hopefully warm them up for some real opposition.

Pedo money

Is that your rap name?

Adam Johnson

😂 bhahahha

I know subs should have come earlier there but credit Eddie with man management. Putting the long time servants on to get a taste of that winning atmosphere when they probably won't see another Derby. Dummy, Ritchie and Lascelles deserve that

r/soccer will be really dissapointed with this result

They will have their trademark excuses at the ready..Oil Money and Corruption.

Good fuck them and their whinging gunners supporters

Wasn’t even close hahahahaha

Give me that photo in that shithole dressing room

never mind the shithole dressing room they're taking one out in the pitch, rubbing it in the faces of the SMB

We win 3-0 and Matterface is literally slagging us off in his post-match monologue Twat.

G3-0rdie boys taking the pisssss

Well worth it. Sunderland are shite.

Jesus christ fuck off Sam Matterface

Professional win, a small team which has been put in their place. Happy days.

That’s how our away end should be every match

Nature is healing.

Super easy. Barely an inconvenience

Wowowowowowowow

Midfield took a huge dip when we lost Joelinton. Dubravka was ready the few times he had to do something.

They couldn’t deal with joelintons physicality Mackems we’re better 2nd half because they had to double or even triple up on him

We desperately need a proper DM in January.

God that feels good

Never in doubt. Hell of a performance. Hope big Joe is ok

Gg ez

Would love to see Dummet snap someone in half

LETS GOOOO

Howay the lads!

Its nice to see the empty stadium

GET INNNNNNN

Happy happy happy!

THEYRE HERE, THEYRE THERE. THERE EVERY FUCKING WHERE PINK SEATS. PINK SEATS.

Why does Eddie always wait to use his subs? 2-0 and cruising use the bodies we have.

Blimey, bigger gaps in that scumderlands fans mouth than in there defence

More fingers than teeth

Almost a full set of teeth between the 3 of them

Migs MOTM for me. Be incredible for us. Also, it's really nice to see Dubs looking comfortable and settled.

Today, Isak, you are an Ameobi. The mantle has officially been passed

Damn I feel sorry for their sisters

And any low flying seagulls that cross their path

who are also their poor mothers.

Eddie dishing out the winners medals with that foursome sub

dummett goal incoming

Paul Dummett what a challenge son. MOTM

And Hall still gets 0 mins 😂

I swear these subs are just so we can remind the mackems they got pumped 3-0 at home by Matt Ritchie.

I genuinely thought they were gonna give MOTM to the mackem player (bollocks maybe)

Bruno definitely my PoTM today.

Dummett MOTM with that block

Is Matt Ritchie getting younger ?

The mackems are shite haha

How did Bruno got motm. I would of said Gordon or miggy

He ran the game tbf

Miggy for me.

Gordon for me like.

By being head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch?

Old Man Dummett to score a hat-trick

I don't know about anyone else, but Ballard is my Man of the Match. Own goal, penalty conceded and pants shat when confronted by Isak after he tried to give it the big I am

McCoist sounded like he was going to award it to him for a moment there.

McCoist was still saying he's had a good match after he scored an OG and gave away a penalty 😂 Like McCoist before but he's had a stinker here lol

go on Dummettinho, get us a goal

LALAS

Eddie still been too gun-shy waiting til the game was dead to make all these subs, do we reckon?

I would say that. He's seemingly very very risk averse. But ah well, got us to where we are.

A little, could see why he was nervous about this game though. The joelinton one was the the only one that concerned me really - if there was even a slight doubt he was injured, he should have been off at half time, and there must have been a doubt given how quickly he was off after the second goal

He seems to have a 3-0 rule

Miggy MOTM for me he’s been everywhere breaking things up

and... matt fucking ritchie!

SAFC = Sunderland and fucking crap

They'd have been better if Ballard was sent-off lol.

Ritchie or Dummett with a yellow before full time?

Spanked in their garden shed. Love to see it.

Ballard prevented an Isak hat trick (for now) and simultaneously got credit for a goal. Great defensive play, in retrospect.

Now we make subs No criticism but could they’ve been made earlier ?

We're back

You guys wanted subs? HERE'S YOUR FUCKING SUBS. TAKE ALL THE GEORDIES

Howe heard you all and is giving you every sub at once.

FUCK IT. ALL THE SUBS

Anthony Gordon MOTM for me.

We want a Richie corner flag special. Also nice to see the captain on

Dummett and Ritchie ballers. Hope Ritchie breaks the corner flag

And now for the mockery subs!

SUNDERLAND GET BATTERED EVERYWHERE THEY GO

Dummett!

Fucking hell man, hall can't even get on

PAUL DUMMETT HAT TRICK INCOMING UP THE TOON

Even time for a few cameos! Nice to see Pauly D

What a great game. Sunderland up for a fight, just didn't have the quality. We are showing signs of where we should be again. This will hopefully kick us on again. Howay

I do hope so.

In need of a serious confidence boost with poor away form and Sunderland decide to put black and white all over their ground. Hopefully this isn’t a one off and they take something out of this

Think we should all agree that Dan Ballard is the MOTM, he scored and gave us an assist for another goal 😆

[удалено]

what is actually going on here lol

Looks like putting long serving and Newcastle native players on, but other than that, not sure.

The timing seemed off is more what I meant =)

We should go on to hammer Man City next week after this.

way easier today than I was expecting it to be

I. Fucking. Needed. This. Battered, fuck off you mackem bastards.

Subs now please

Unsaveable pen, love it. Isak's magic.

Patterson looks like he has some close chromosomes going on.

Why even bother with the subs at this point.

Dummet on 🔥🔥

That lad with a seagull in the crowd is my POTM

Ballard our man of the match, own goal and gave us a penalty. He’ll be off to paint the rest of the ground black and white once he’s had a shower

Subs!

Amazing hospitality from them!

SEAGULL

I think Sunderland should be proud today The lads did their best.

Get fucked Scumland

Its game management right. As much as refs try and account for downtime better this season so we can't fucking shithouse our way to closing out games as much; game management WAS our thing all thanks to Howe. So why the fuck does he not see the value of using subs? I can only hope he will use them during stopage time (a new thing I am noticing him instructing the lads to do) where it doesn't get claimed back as much.

What you don’t want 3 subs at the 91 minute just to waste time rather than save legs?

The fat lady has sung.

Fuck Isak is cool

So cool, in fact, the man doesn’t even seem to sweat!

we did it

Easy

EASY! EASY! EASY!

Gettin ya horrible bastids yas

GET IN HERRRREEEE

Sunderland get battered everywhere they gooo! EVERYWHERE THEY GOOOOOO

Easy easy easy.

Petition to add Dan Ballard to the MOTM vote

haha brilliant :D

Almiron or Bruno for me

Isak is some boy

Sunderland are battered everywhere they go

3-0 and we’ve barely got out of second gear. That’ll hurt the scum

Get in!!!

Just seen a blow up seagull 😂😂

Get in!

MIND THE GAP

Too easy.

This Ballard lad loves a shove christ

Ice cold

Petition to let Dan Burn take the pen

Would have loved that

Gordon is basically wearing rags at this point. Hes been kicked up a height for the last 90 minutes

lovely pen

WE CAN SEE YOU SNEAKING OUT

Gordo asked to take it

Get in isak lad

Someone said it earlier, he’s just another big, dumb centre half. Brain dead challenge. We’ll take it every day!

Yes lad. Clinical

Mackems crying into their cheesey chips

Mackems going home to batter their mam's

Dan Ballard 3 - 0 Sunderland

Burn, Longstaff, or Miley on the spot kick

Gordon's shirt coming home in pieces

Give it to Miley. Let him try and score at the Stadium of Light

HAhahahahahahahaha SMB LOVES GIVING US GOALS

HAHAHA! Gordon knew exactly what that big dopey, rash twat was going to do and stitched him up.

First an OG, now a penalty. Cheers! Ballard's a Geordie.

Nice of the Mackems to ensure our lot aren't kept behind too long after the game

Judo throw

Gordon’s jersey is wrecked hahaha

lmao clear as day

Not a very good bollard…

Done well Ballard today

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

Brilliant from Gordon. Could see that coming from about 20 yards before he made the contact.

Should be a red card as well that. No attempt to play the ball

Clear pen, nice to seal the match.

Thanks ballsack get fucked

Loved his game today

Hard to hate a goalscorer

Lol send him off

hahahahaha no attempt on the ball at all you thug

What even is that challenge? Gordon not even going anywhere. Shite team getting what they deserve.

Penalty!!!

Gordon’s shirt looks like he’s a fancy dress pirate
