I don´t care if you´ve won 5 on the trot, you´re in the Fizzy, you fool.

Let's admit it, we've both had crap starts to the new season. Personally I'd like to see both clubs turn it around - being separated from Sunderland by 2 divisions would be hilarious at first, but we'd all miss the derbies really!

Andy, if you are still posting on here end of season then let's compare then.

In other words how comfortably we survived and what a poor fight or failure you had against relegation to the third tier.

Like I said before the season started, I think we'll push for a top 10 finish, the first 2 games didn't change that belief and neither did Saturday, all it did was re-affirm the fact that the players need time to adjust and we could do with a few additions to give us different qualities and dimensions to sustain our levels throughout the season.

Our team is better than most pundits and fans believe tbh. I also think that we'll have one or two surprises before the window closes... This ain't the Prima donna era of Luque, Owen et el, this is the era of the TEAM with ambitious young players wanting to wear that shirt, big difference and a name on the back of the shirt won't give you a performance.

Now Sunlun....

I see Grayson as a decent fizzy pop manager for a smaller club(aye even smaller than them). By that I mean he did ok at his previous clubs before Preston, they did pretty well last season but he hardly has a proven resume in helping clubs get promoted and/or consistency has he?... Like our man Benitez ;D

With the amount of competition in the league I just don't see them getting anywhere near automatic promotion and I honestly think they'll struggle to scrape the play-offs.

The scum are gonna find out that the fizzy ain't as easy as it looks and our achievement of winning the league was no mean feat and is better than anything they've mustered in years.

It ain't the same league it was when Phillips, Ball and Bracewell did well in that other old **** hole of theirs, it's a different ball game now where a lot of clubs have been at the top and/or got a decent team pushing for promotion.

Mick's doing it at Ipswich, probably the most successful manager they've had in years...

McCarthy vs Benitez XD

Good luck for the season though Andy, when you're bored of watching that ****e, get the black and white top out your "closet" and support a team with hungry young players who want to play for their club, you'll soon see the difference mate ;-)

Then it will be back to crisis and doom and gloom. And you know I am right ..

Forest spelt with one R made 4 or 5 changes the Toon made ten and even that one player who kept his place is not guaranteed to play when Lejuene comes back.So a full reserve team played against 5 or 6 Forest regulars.Yes we do need better reserves but that game was not a good comparison.
