    I can't remember exact details, but I mentioned Everton would get relegated if they received a points deduction, he bit, I didn't let go, he disappeared. I hasten to add, at no time did I threaten him nor did I ban him. I just stood my ground.

    1996 mate, still hurts <wah>

    I enjoy beating all the big clubs, not to the point in hating them, but I do enjoy giving your boys a game as much as I do Sunderland.

    With the success you lot have enjoyed since, I can totally understand your indifference to us, as I would feel, but, being the closest we've come to winning something in my life it did sting a bit.

    It's not a rivalry I completely get that.

    A draw would be best result all round for the neutrals, keeps things very interesting for a few more weeks at both the top and bottom of the table.

    Brilliant <laugh>

    Seems a bit petty mind. Feel for Abe as he must be feeling lost without him.

    Absolutely no idea how to call this one, could easily go either way. Obviously we want Spuds to beat them any score will do, by a few goals would be nice but doubt they'll be much in it.

    Looking as though Dyche is going to rely on Gray's pace to get behind Spurs back 3

    Just looked at the line ups and Everton really shouldn't be getting anything tonight as there's a clear gulf in class.

    However as Spurs are total **** in games like this 1-0 Everton it is.

    Nah two trips to Newcastle in 3 months doesn't appeal to me somehow haha. Only just finished the last one as I got caught speeding on the way home so did a course last week which added £85 to the total <doh><laugh>

    You're bound to be in Europe one way or the other. It's just a case of whether your visiting a Milan/Madrid or the arse end of Bulgaria!

    It's not weird at all, it's really quite simple.

    People who don't know will think it's about finishing second to Manchester twice in the 90's, or losing cup finals to them. They may even refer to Alex Ferguson calling us out for no obvious reason in his latter years. I can assure you it's nothing to do with that, we've finished runners up to other clubs in other competitions and we don't hate them.

    The reason is one thing. Terry Christian on Fantasy Football in the 90's. The singular most obnoxious and punchable football fan I've ever had the misfortune to witness and he's all yours. He was a magnifying lens through which the entire fanbase viewed Manchester Utd fans, obviously unfairly. I'd have 100 horse punchers over that guy. Mount his head on a spike outside Old Trafford and we're all good again as I couldn't give a solitary **** about your club otherwise to be honest.

    Said pretty much this to the Mrs, she's already planning her work holiday diary as she fancies the idea of a few European trips <laugh>

    I'm pretty torn to be honest. For Newcastle I really want Everton to get a result but even typing those words hurts.

    I'm viewing it as win-win as sadly they can't lose-lose. Draw would be best i guess. Maybe red cards and injuries though, that'd be fun.

    Dyche making sure his teams never give less than 100% but top clubs won't consider him because he's...?
