How Twitter is gearing up for season-defining clash at Sunderland

Published:

One team has it all to play for in the battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League while the other is stumbling over the finish line with just one win in their last nine league outings. So surely there can only be one outcome when Sunderland host Everton this evening?

Well, maybe. Fans from Wearside and beyond are certainly making their feelings known ahead of kick-off with a mixture of emotions and opinions clear for all to see on Twitter.

Sunderland can secure a tenth successive season in the top-flight with victory and in turn relegate their nearest rivals Newcastle so it’s pretty safe to say Sam Allardyce’s side won’t be lacking motivation.

The same can’t be said for an Everton team who look desperate for this campaign to be over and a manager who looks almost certain to face the chop in the summer.

Here’s how it’s all going down ahead of tonight’s game…

Nick’s early.

I’m sure she means ‘a kick in the footballs’.

Dear Sunderland, from Sunderland.

Okay, Nick seriously isn’t budging.

Is this bad? Probably if you’re a Toon Army fan. Then it’s REALLY bad.

This is a bit of a theme amongst Everton fans.

No room for sentiment here.

The soul-searching has already begun on Tyneside.

Erm, first we’ve heard about this?!
