Carlos Cuellar has been left in no doubt as to how important Sunderland's derby date with Newcastle is to the fans.
Intensity
Cuellar added: "Some people think if you lose this game it's the end of the world. It's not, it just feels like it.
"I love the sensation of derbies. You are representing a mass of people and the players are very aware of their responsibilities.
"This is one of the easiest games of the season to prepare for because you look forward to it so much.
"But it's the kind of game that as a player, you sometimes have to hold back. Have that intensity but play with your head, not your heart."
