Sam Allardyce: 'Wear-Tyne derby means everything to Sunderland'

Sam Allardyce says that this Sunday's Wear-Tyne derby "means everything" to Sunderland supporters.

New Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has claimed that he understands the importance of this weekend's Wear-Tyne derby against Newcastle United.

In just his second game in charge of the Black Cats, Allardyce and his players will take on their biggest rivals Newcastle in a bottom-of-the-table clash at the Stadium of Light.

"The feeling in the North-East runs passionately as we all know," Allardyce told BBC Radio 5 live.

"In the last few seasons they've been fighting around the relegation zone, but whenever this game has come around, they've produced a performance that you'd like to see every week. Winning these games means everything to the Sunderland fans."

Allardyce's first game in charge resulted in a 1-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.
