Sunderland: 10 Things That Will Definitely Happen This Season
8. Eat, Sleep, Beat Newcastle, Repeat
A gloomy, typical start will be obliterated by the end of October with a sixth derby win in a row, because that's what Sunderland do. They turn up to face their old nemesis and win. Of course, the run will come to an end soon but until that day, every fan in red and white has the right to be boisterous about their chances. You'd think it would get less amusing each game that passes, but you'd be very much wrong. Watching the psychological torment etched onto geordie faces is a truly glorious sight. The tables will most certainly turn, and that could happen in October, but there's a sense of relative fearlessness around Wearside with regards to the derby, bring it on.
