What is a coda? Answers.com has the explanation for coda as a Latin word meaning “tail,” refers not only to the conclusion of a musical composition but also to an ending in general. If we describe the Tyne-Wear derby as a musical composition, we have probably a mixed of rap music, heavy metal, and pop music.

The Tyne-Wear derby always beginning with some ‘Rap’ intro, everytime we are heading into the match. We will hear and read many people ’singing’ about the upcoming match. From the club executive, managers, newspapers and supporters.

When the game finally kick-off, the real composition is playing, the ‘Heavy Metal’ part of it. Where the derby atmosphere at the stadium is only can be levelled with a heavy metal concert, the pressure of the game banging the heads out, the adrenaline starts to flow and prepares the individual to deal with the stress; heart rate and force are increased, blood pressure rises, and blood flow to the skeletal and cardiac muscles.

Alright, I have posted the voices of Newcastle United fans yesterday, and I think it’s also interesting to know what the papers said about Saturday’s Tyne-Wear derby. But, one thing that’s been in most headlines today was the Barton’s tackle on macKems Etuhu.

Times online reveals that Joey has went into the tackle with his studs dangerously high which drew an angry response from Etuhu. But there was no foul awarded from the referee, Martin Atkinson. He does not notice the incident but flags it up in his match report.

The FA committee said they will be looking to clarify and review the incident. If Barton found guilty, he could be subject to a three-game ban.

For me, what he does yesterday was normal in a derby game, although I’m not able to say that Joey was really mean to doing it or not.

Keane’s reaction was a bit of surprise, he said that he’s not going to get bogged down by a tackle that was slightly high. According to him that happens in every games.

In fact we have one point from today’s match. A one point better than our previous away matches, but in general we are still far away from doing the best we can this season. Sunderland is not a decent opponent to get one point out of them, we should get three points today, that’s the better performance.

Big Sam said we have been doing well and get a deserved goal from our response after getting a goal behind. Well, to be honest that’s not what most of the Toon Army hope for from the Lads today.

Most of all wants three points out of them, and with this kind of performance, we are just lucky not to lose.
