Kevin Keegan will look to extend his side's unbeaten run to six games when Royston Keane brings his Labrador-lover's XI to civilisation on Sunday at 1.30pm.

The 139th Tyne-wear derby is live on Sky Sports

A victory for common sense would see us register our 51st success, while a stalemate would be the 46th such result.

43 travesties of justice have taken place so far, while we've bulged their net 208 times and been the victim of atrocious refereeing decisions etc. on 205 occasions.

Since we lost at SJP in November 2000, we've won five and drawn the other three of these fixtures.

And for the Newcastle boss it's a chance to extend his 100% record against the old enemy to five games, having steered his side to four previous victories as follows:

29.03.92 won 1-0 (h)
18.10.92 won 2-1 (a)
25.04.93 won 1-0 (h)
04.09.96 won 2-1 (a)

The Super Sunderland Side travel to the rural town of Newcastle to give the locals a taste of real football, pity many will have to watch the game played on a cow paddock but that's all the locals could afford,many of the locals are amazed at the talent on show from Sunderland and would expect the side to run out 5-0 winners,but after playing on the perfect pitch at the stadium of light many of it's players will have to adjust to the paddock and might let Newcastle in with a faint chance.

Well if were a rural town we should pay less tax than you big city sunderland thanks for that mate.

think newcastle will pip this game 2-1 .

I don't.

Anyone going by the way?

nope its about 250 miles from here like lol.
