Hmmmmm.......... If ever there was one, this fixture has got big fat banana skin written all over it...... I'm staying shtum. 🙂
Grayson, Grayson ...
I think Barnsley and Millwall did also.
But AN is never going to let complacency creep in, however there are so many side issues this game throws up, including our players trying too hard.
Up to now AN seems to have got his pre match planning sorted, far better than SG ever did.
It could be a banana skin, alternatively we could trash them and invoke the curse for SG, or it could be a tedious 0-0.
I'm looking forwards to it with a positive head, but if it is a banana skin we learn and move on, I certainly won't be complaining.

Yes, you're right of course, the worst that will happen is we drop 3 points and it won't be the end of the world....... Going into it ( on current form ) would suggest it'll be a stroll in the park but I very much doubt it will be especially if they park the bus..... So I'm still staying shtum!! 🙂

Start of the game sat I think we should show are class and applaud and sing one simon grayson.
makes us look good, I'm sure he will applaud and it will wind the Sundy fans up no end. They all want him sacked and will be making their feelings known so for us to applaud and sing for him will piss them right off.

^^^^This^^^^ However, after we win the Sunderland fans will be saying that its all SG's fault for letting us win, SG still has a sod spot for us but they should be beating teams like Preston, etc, etc.

Good idea but you won't stop the boo boys.
Still embarrassed after our fans were booing Gerard. Didn't they also boo some Chelsea players like John Terry?

What's wrong with that?.............. I'm really, really embarrassed that you're embarrassed..Get a grip man ( or woman ).
There's only Simon Grayson chant would be really respectful to our new current manager and make him feel really wanted. Grayson is history - now let's support fully our current manager and put the past behind us. Warm applause for SG and cheers and loud applause for AN will be my contribution
Agree wholeheatrly.
Polite applause for Simon prior to the game then fully back our current manager and the players. I don't think the Leeds style sycophancy towards Simon is really required.
Then if we get the result we hope for, a bit of gentle ribbing at Simon is very likely and I don't think he would expect anything less.
The reality is you are right - however we have no idea how Neil's teams fare against struggling teams because, in the main, we have only played top half / fancied teams......
Thanks SG for one of my best days ever at Wembley. You left a hungry young squad worth millions after taking over a squad worth peanuts and heading for League 2. Will applause you onto the pitch then hope PNE smash Sunderland 5.0.

I tried to get Paddy Power and Sky Bet to give me odds on 2 more managers being sacked after defeats to us this season but they were having none of it. It was mostly with Saturday's game in mind!"
Sunderlands won't have the same fire in their bellies than the players SG ditched.
Sunderlands players don't have to prove anything to the PNE manager.
This will be the fixture the PNE players have been waiting for.
I expect a lot of players fighting for the 11 places on Saturday. It won't be a walk in the park, but I expect fireworks.

Why will it be the fixture our players have been looking for? Grayson had a very good relationship with the squad as far as I know, I imagine most of them like him a lot and I doubt many, if any, would wish him out of a job?

Childish. We rarely get top class players at Deepdale and when we do fans act like infants. Gerand and Terry must have been crushed.
Or some may feel that he thought they had achieved as much as they could, irritated by the fact he dumped them in quick sharp fashion.Whilst I’m sure they will have respect for Grayson I’m in absolutely no doubt they will have extra fire in the belly on Saturday.
To quote Simon last year “we don’t have the players to go away and win games 3-0 etc
