RRP: "The derby that isn't a f***ing derby" - The debate continues - Previewing Middlesbrough v Sunderland AFC!

So here we are again, waiting for a game one of us cares about more than the other and trying to explain what it is about Sunderland facing Boro that makes it less a derby and more an annoyance. Like Coventry with Parmos? What's the crack? *It's not a derby debate klaxon* Seriously it isn't. If Hartlepool got their arses in gear and left the monkeys alone we'd probably not have this debate at all. Right so it is a big game for other non-derby reasons but only because they're just about up there with us; how have Michael Carrick's men been getting along since we last faced one another? Boro players always take this more seriously than our own, so do we think Reg will have found a way to get our lads to kick that weird habit passed down from generation to generation? Bit of a weird game overall; live on ITV a few hours before Transfer Deadline Day ends... Are we looking forward to that sort of possible mayhem? Are the lads confident given our long history of not getting the result we want down their way and yet again: is this a must win? Are they all must wins? This was recorded just before the announcement of Wilson Isidor signing a permanent deal with SAFC, which we're all delighted about aye, and before more strange rumours surrounding Mike Dodds and Wycombe Wanderers but... we'll cover that after Boro in more detail.Gerrin Wilson marra! Falling in love with a loan player has rarely ended so well. Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
