geesh no bias on this article is there????

  • It is a bit rediculous...

Gonna change this to NOT be a propaganda piece for Newcastle United. "We'll meet again" is going for a start, irrelevant.

To the Mag desi;

Look, we appreciate you support NUFC and as such are going to be bias in your reporting, but FFS this is an encyclopedia not a forum for your opinions. The Sunderland groundsman reactions, chants after derbies etc etc are utterly irrelevant.

You are not doing much to dispel the widely held opinion that Newcastle fans are uneducated, egotistical and absolutely unable to look at anything impartially.

ok mate that opinion there is a stereotype and also an encyclopedia is meant to have detail in it, the piece about "We'll meet again" is a merely a little piece of detail, and also sign ur posts Crabman123 22:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 4-1 a notable victory?

Is the most recent game (the 4-1 in 2006) really a 'notable derby'? Out of all the derbys, it was hardly amazing or particularly memorable, out of all of the derby games that have been played.

Sure, Newcastle scored 4, but against statistically the worst side ever in the premiership. So 4 is nothing special.

Personally, I nominate that section for deletion. Loonitreefrog 23:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

It was more memorable than half of the ones already listed in the article. And if we're going by your defintion of "memorable" or "notable" I'd certainly say it is greater than Newcastle 1-2 Sunderland (November, 2000) and Newcastle 3-2 Sunderland from the same season. Why are you picking out this one in particular?
Personally, I do not nominate this section for deletion. Mark272 23:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
also right it was Shearers last ever proffessional game of football, being the match where an England legend went out i believe it makes this quite notable, also the 2-1 loss to the mackems was also quite notable as it was Gullits last match in charge and it shows the very plight we were in when he was here, Crabman out Crabman123 15:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


You make a sound point, I suppose. It was Shearer's last game. Forget it, then. Loonitreefrog 16:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crossing the divide

Can anyone find details on players playing for both Newcastle United and Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby as a section like on the North London derby section. Kingjamie 13:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


Very glaring omission from the players who have played for both Newcastle United and Sunderland was Bobby Moncur - a huge part of Newcastle United's last trophy success (the old Fairs Cup) who went on to play for Sunderland after he left Newcastle. 296 appearances for Newcastle and 86 for Sunderland —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.210.176.14 (talk) 16:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unique?

Tyne-Wear is not the only inter city rivalry, so can't be described as 'unique'. Dan Kerins 09:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of History of the Tyne-Wear Derby

The article "History of the Tyne-Wear Derby" was deleted. I'm keeping a temporary copy at Talk:Tyne-Wear derby/History of the Tyne-Wear Derby, just in case there's anything useful there to merge here. Nabla 21:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

No one used it, deleted. - Nabla 16:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
