Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te mutunga, he rongo pai mō te kapa Sunderland me Newcastle United <unk> te āhua nei ka ngaro te āhua o te kapa i te whakataetae. Na, ehara i te mea he whakamarie? I te ahiahi o te Rātapu, ka whai wāhi ngā rōpū tautoko e rua ki te whakamutu i te pono pouri o to rātau tūnga o nāianei. I roto i ngā tukinga e ono whakamutunga <unk> 12 i te katoa <unk> kua kohia e te tokorua nei e ono ngā tohu, ehara i te mea nui. I roto i taua wā anō <unk> 18 haora o te whutupaoro, kāore i iti iho <unk> e whā ngā wā i eke ai rātau ki te kapa, e 22 ngā wā i eke ai rātau ki te kapa. Ehara i te mea miharo kua tapaina e rātou tēnei hei "The Desperation Derby". Tērā pea he pai ake te kupu "The Donkey Derby". Ka tuku tohutohu a John Carver ki ana kaitākaro i te wā o te whakangungu i te Paraire i mua i te tukinga o te Rātapu. I whakamātauria e Carver ōna kaitākaro o Newcastle i te wā o te huihuinga i St James'Park. Ka mahana a Dick Advocaat i a ia e whakarite ana i tana kapa Sunderland mō te tukinga nui o te Rātapu. Ko Sunderland te kapa o waho o te whenua, ā, ki te kore e taea e te kaiwhakahaere hou, e Dick Advocaat, te huri i te mea he mea pouri ki te toru o raro, ka hoki mai rātau ki te whakataetae i te marama o Akuhata. E kore e taea e Newcastle, engari kei reira tonu te raruraru. Kua oti te mahi i Tyneside. Ko te whakahau a te Magpie ko te oranga me te iti ake, he whakaaetanga pouri mo te koretake kua uru ki tetahi roopu e hiahia nui ana ki te whakahou, i runga i te kounga me te tuakiri. Ka taea hoki te kī te taua o te taha Sunderland nei kua riro noa e wha nga wa katoa tau. Mehemea ehara i te mea mo te hītori me te kaha o te whakataetae, ka whai mana katoa tēnei o Te Kuri me te Peke ki Te Raiona Whero. Heoi, tērā pea he whakahaweatanga tērā ki ngā kapa pā. Engari, i waenganui i te pouri katoa, he nui tonu te tūponotanga, ahakoa he rerekē ngā take. Mo te Sunderland, ko te oranga anake. Me wareware ki ta rātau tono mō te rekoata e rima ngā wikitōria i te hoariri. Kia wareware, ahakoa, ki te whakamanamana. Kei te whawhai a Carver ki te whakarite i tōna heke mai hei kaiwhakahaere o Newcastle i tua atu i te mutunga o tēnei tau. I ataata katoa a Advocaat i a ia e ngana ana ki te whakahaere i a Sunderland i te Pirimia Pirimia...
Ka haere a Newcastle ki te Stadium of Light ki te whakatau i a Sunderland i te Ratapu. Ko te tukinga e kiia ana ko te 'The Desperation Derby' me nga taha e rua e whawhai ana. Kei te whawhai a John Carver ki te whakarite i tōna heke mai hei kaiwhakahaere i tua atu i te tau. Kua mutu te whakaaro a Carver mo te whiwhi i te mahi i runga i te kaupapa pumau. Kei te kaha a Dick Advocaat ki te whakarite kia noho tonu a Sunderland ki te Pirimia Pirimia.
