15 Matches Newcastle United Fans Want To Forget

3. Newcastle 0-3 Sunderland (2014)

Nine months on from the Tyne-Wear derby disaster of 2013 surely Newcastle would have the bit between their teeth and have their phasers set to revenge. Wishful thinking. For a second year running Sunderland skipped out of St James€™ Park and back to Wearside with three points and three goals under their arms. Only this time their victory was all the more comprehensive. Again it was a simple case of Sunderland being up for the occasion. Passion and pride are prerequisites for a derby contest and the Black Cats continue to exhibit that in abundance when they come face-to-face with their black and white neighbours. We€™ve failed to match their desire in each of the last three meetings, losing each of them, and continue to wilt under the psychological pressure of the occasion. It didn€™t take much for Sunderland to profit from our insecurity or an egregious lack of motivation. Nothing short of insulting.
