I'd put Sunderland's game down to a (very) bad day at the office against a team that really needs point.
Newcastle, who have lost 5 on the bounce and are in total meltdown, shouldn't be mocking their neighbours (who annoyingly for you) are doing rather well.
Earlier in this thread someone dismissed the derby.
EVERY Newcastle fan looked at the fixtures for the Sunderland game. If you didn't you are a lair.

Just my ramblings but:
Gave it lot of thought this morning while out for a run, we just need to see this season out, then there needs to be a big clear out over the summer with thoughts to re engineer a team next season in readiness for the season after which seems a long way away..
Next season 26/27 will be another season of mid table win and lose form while a new team is created.
Set it up around Osula and Elanga with maybe Barnes if he wants to stay.
Mid field with Miley, Ramsey, Bruno and Tonali if they want to stay and at the back, Hall if he wants to stay, with Thiaw again if he wants to stay.
Goal: Ramsdale but he needs to take a few lessons from Pickford about organising his defence.
Gordon wants out, Woltemade just doesn't fit any UK team plan and should go back to Europe, Thiaw, his mate, may want to go too. Botman is finished he is becoming injury prone and BDB is getting on but a good back up. Tino too just seems to be too injury prone. Schaar, not sure, age is against him. Joelinton just goes looking for a fight but may be worth a seat on the bench to bolster midfield, defence or even back in his old position of a forward if needed. Nick Pope looks to be worried about his shoulder injury. Who else? Wissa, just haven't seen enough of him to make judgement. Murphy (J) looks disillusioned when he comes on with no one there to cross to and no obvious plan to follow.
It's been a tough to watch season and I doubt if next (26/27) will be any better but with careful management and a few decent buys we could see a decent 27/28. Will Eddie still be there, maybe not. Not sure he want's to continue at SJP but it's up to him, not the crowd baying for blood. Or the backroom owners, support staff etc who I believe are hindering him.
And finally, those who booed the team at half time need to give their heads a wobble. The lads are lacking confidence, struggling to get a result, and you lot aren't helping. You're supposed to be supporters, f
king support them.
I'm not looking forward to next weeks game, away to Arsenal but maybe, just maybe the lads will surprise us.
Brick Top: It can get you in a lot of trouble, thinking, Skyesy, I shouldn't do so much of it.

Always a strange one for me people being critical of booing at the match, at the end of the day they are the people who have paid a lot of money to actually attend. They are not on the internet scrabbling around for links to dodgy streams to watch the match, then chucking their toys out of the pram "That's me done"etc etc. They go week in week out so if they want to boo let them.

To me proper supporters get behind their team during the game - if at the end the performance has been poor then by all means show your displeasure but booing your own team during the game isn't great IMO, not least because if anything it's likely to make things even worse on the pitch.

I m only listening to this one but sounds like we will be very lucky to get 3 points.
The better team in the first half, rode our luck in the second half, but Brighton haven’t threatened too much to be honest. Pope has been suspect, but redeemed himself with a very good save on 85 minutes. We fought, which has been lacking in recent times. Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
