Yes we understand. But we also understand that the reason Sunderland fans go to so much trouble to declare that there is no rivalry, it isn't a derby, that Middlesbrough isn't in the North East or that playing Boro is no more important to them than playing Peterborough, is just their pathetic and desperate attempt to be a slightly bigger fish in a greatly reduced pool.The Boro game will always be insignificant in comparison to Newcastle just get over it
Being constantly overshadowed by another club is much less uncomfortable if you can convince yourself that that club is in another part of the country. The saddest part is that they think it hurts us. It hurts us as much as being insulted by Cambridge United fans hurts us.
