With Newcastle, Sunderland annnnnd Middlesbrough now in the top 3!

What the ferk has Sunderland done? Sunderland played well today against Fulham and earned a deserved draw, they got 3 points off us after a poor decision from the referee changed the game, and sit a point outside the playoffs. They are an average Championship team that might end up in the playoffs, you would think they had already got promoted.

I like Jeff but a bit over the top about Sunderland.

Rant over.

Well I can kinda see it, first season back in this league and they're doing well

Boro and Newcastle though, bringing fear to our respective leagues and making the North East intimidating again
Neither of us lose at home.
It would honestly be great for all three of us back in the PL.
I know it won't happen next because it's either us or Sunderland if it's gonna happen, but I think Newcastle will be glad to have an actual game they truly care about again.
 
I would like to see Sunderland and us in the Premier League, but Newcastle I would like to see in the tenth level of the league. I cannot abide them or the level of sportswashing from the Saudi takeover. A lot of Newcastle fan's response to that ownership has been embarassing.

4 points behind us and we gave them a 10 point start.
 
They are doing quite well for a newly promoted team.
I'm still baffled by our performance at their place but think we will finish above them.

It's a derby, plain amd simple. Therefore form often goes out the window and the home team are much more likely to win as the need to perform out of their boots in front of their home crowd is bigger.

Throw in a bit of bad luck for us; ie the penna they got, the one we didn't get (we deserved to lose, but think 1-nil or 2-1 would have been a fairer reflection) us performing under par which will happen from time to time and there you have it.
 
Forget that Jeff Stelling worked as Middlesbrough FC correspondent for BBC Tees early in his career in the late 70s.

I like Jeff, and he's great at promoting the North East as a whole, and often puts down the other pundits when they are talking derogatory of the area, we all heard his rant.

I just think today he got it wrong.
 
I don't know how you could not like Jeff. Just a consummately nice fella and does a load of good work for the prostrate cancer charity.
