Sunderland and Newcastle United ended a barren run without a derby in January when they met in the FA Cup 3rd round.

It had been the best part of eight years since the two sides had met thanks to Sunderland's spectacular descent down the football leagues, but fate brought the fierce rivals back together when they were drawn alongside each other for the FA Cup third round.

Fans couldn't believe their luck as Newcastle's ball was drawn as the away side right after Sunderland. The fixture was set for 6th January giving Newcastle fans something to cling on to during a run of poor results over the Christmas period.

We are so excited to watch this video it's like Christmas all over again

In fact, Newcastle's results at that time were so bad that confidence in the derby had started to wane slightly. Fortunately, we didn't need to worry as Eddie Howe's boys turned on the style and brushed Sunderland aside with ease.

You'd think it wouldn't be a day worth remembering for Sunderland, but Copa90 are ruining their weekend with a mini-documentary called The Countdown To The Tyne Wear Derby - In With Sunderland.

So if Sunderland 'Til I Die isn't giving you enough giggles, you can get yourself a few more by watching 15 minutes of comedy on YouTube.

Let's all laugh at Sunderland

The fact that it's presented from the Sunderland point of view is just epic. We're writing this before it drops so that we can bring it to your attention as soon as it goes live, so we've not seen it and therefore can't give you any insight beyond the fact that we're pretty sure it's going to be hilarious.

Sunderland truly are the gift that keeps on giving.

Enjoy the show.
