    I don’t think it’s a continuous rivalry as our Yorkshire neighbours but it is a rivalry this season at least as they are competing with us for promotion and are probably the fiercest imo although that’s a matter of opinion

    It's not an obsession. They are the only club from the top 6 that are regularly discussing us.

    Before a ball was kicked us and them were the two favourites for automatic promotion and despite neither being currently in the top 2 there is only a point between us.

    Fair points I suppose. Just seems to be an increase in last week or so of worrying what they think about us.

    They seem more worried than us.

    Newcastle and Palace too. Think they're wanting to get him back on loan.

    What would really freak them would be if Chien Lee went up there and emptied the loose change out of his back pocket and bought him. Never going to happen with the business model, but it would be highly entertaining.

    I have no worries about playing them as we're playing now. I hope they have the best unbeaten record in the league as long it's all draws!

    Sunderland fan mate told me they were a tad fortunate and we were the best team he's seen this season by a country mile....

    Apart from the great spell they had early on, we played really well. If I remember rightly all their goals came after decent spells by us.

    They had 4 shots on target and they all went in.

    Mate at work and all his family are season ticket holders at Sunderland. He says the consensus up there is that Kieffer is the best all-round striker they've seen in L1. You might not be far off, sadly....
