@Capt_Fishpaste Im still not 100% sure what position he was playing yesterday, the lad was everywhere and it looked like Getruda was RB, love Hume, what a brilliant signing he was
I watched Xkaka yesterday as I was interested to see how one player can have so much influence, he literally does not stop talking to the players and dictating everything, heโs like a conducter, never loses the ball either, my lad plays CDM and it was so great to get to see him
Since Sunderland last played Newcastle in the Premier League, the Black Cats have dropped to League 1 and back. The supporters have seen it all, lost a play-off final in the third tier, experienced heartbreak and may have often thought a return to the big time was beyond the realms of possibility. Now, they are the beacon of hope for any side in the country wanting to get to the top-flight and stay up, the example to English football. And on Sunday afternoon, another major dream turned into reality.
Defeating the 'visitors' 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, it was a true showcase of how far the club have come. Eddie Howe's side have spent big, play in the Champions League, but it was still far from enough.
Rรฉgis Le Bris' team of warriors on the pitch resemble the electric atmosphere created in the Prem's newest fortress stadium. The fans deserve the likes of maestro leader Granit Xhaka belting out orders, flying into tackles and playing Prem level midfielders off the park, after years of suffering in the lower leagues. Cross after cross was cleared out by the likes of big Dan Ballard, the only player in the squad from the FA Cup defeat. Relentless run after run was made down the flanks to steer out of danger and maintain the slender lead. It was a proper derby victory, capped off with a melee to defend keeper Robin Roefs. There was no way the side were letting the lead slip.
#SAFC supporters deserve this victory more than any other. Make that 10 unbeaten Prem results versus Newcastle in a row ๐ด๐
