League One Thread - 2021/22 | Sunderland promoted

They are. But I always think the biggest are between two different cities/towns that are close by. Same-city/town derbies can have family and friend connections to either club, whereas Sunderland and Newcastle have been opposing each other since the English Civil War with both towns fighting for opposing sides in the 1600s. It’s a history of hate between the two places, ingrained in their cultures.

City and United is a bigger game, we hate each other, but we both live in and love Manchester. We’ve all got mates and family who support either side. Yes you get local bragging rights as the pride of your city/town in a same-city/town derby but I don’t think it’s the same level as a Sunderland-Newcastle situation.

Good argument but I still think its worse to have to face your bitter rivals in every day life. Especially in the time around the Derby.
By the way which sides were they on in the civil war?
 
Good to see Sunderland heading in the right direction. Should be looking at a couple of seasons of consolidation in the Championship that can then form the basis for a sustained push for promotion. They’re on their seventh manager in five years, today, and 6 caretakers, so a bit of stability at the helm wouldn’t go amiss, but that will call for fan patience. Anyway, those worries are for next season, so enjoy the summer.
