Sbragia won`t watch derby clash

10 May 2009 10:32
Ricky Sbragia will sit in his local pub on Monday night waiting for a text he hopes will tell him Sunderland are almost safe. The Black Cats had the better of a goalless draw at Bolton to move five points clear of north-east rivals Newcastle and Middlesbrough, who meet at St James' Park on Monday. If that game ends all-square, one win from their final two games will be enough to keep Sunderland in the top flight for another season. "I am not going to watch it," revealed Sbragia. "I would prefer to be down at the pub rather than pulling my hair out watching it myself. "When Newcastle played Portsmouth a couple of weeks ago, I got a text from a friend at 10.20pm telling me it was a draw. Hopefully I will get the same text again."
