Now it's imminent it turns out I genuinely don't feel like it's a derby anymore, I've been saying it but I wasn't sure how I'd feel on the day. It's a shame.

Whatever, it's still a club I've got nothing but dislike for so that'll do.

Felt the same after the game, it was disappointing seeing us get beat as it always is (especially when you concede a few) but little to none of that was because it was a 'local derby'.

I wouldn't go as far as to wish the bastards well and never will but they are pretty much entirely dead to me now.
 
Haven’t saw anything from Roger.
He doesn’t post on this part of the forum for obvious reasons. He mainly sticks to the Leeds and premier league boards.
 
Why it will do our squad more good than theirs?
Don't see how it does anything for them than take some pressure off Howe for a bit.
Because it will show our younger players the level they need to get to in order to compete at the highest level of the game in this Country against players who have been playing in Europe's most elite club tournament this season.
 
I started getting texts from extended family who are mags after it went 0-2. Gave em what for and called them out on the family group text about being owned by murderers. (Yeah dead hard me like )

Told me everything I needed to know about them and our team today.

1. they knew we were capable of getting back into it, and were spineless and said nowt until they felt safe. Just like their quiet fans in the north stand.
2. Family members shut up quickly when their ownership was brought up. Had no response when I said my conscience was clear, what about yours?

Got home to any angry Mrs who told me I’d upset half the family (her side) My response **** em, don’t start it, if you can’t take it back.

FTM, murderers!!
 
What was everyone’s opinion on their fans? Quietest away support I’ve heard in years at the SoL. Preston’s 17 fans made more noise! Completely silent until they scored

And what tbh absolute **** was that at full time? The photo in front of the fans? Embarrassing!


I could smell the dirty bastards down here from 180 miles away.

very poor, didn't really start till the scored
We were just gutless.
No hiding from the facts.
Clarke clueless
Jobe bottled it
Neil, and I stand by this,he is not what everyone thinks he is.
no mate we just played a better team, when you get beat sometimes you've just got to put your hand up and say the better team won
 
There were no half arsed attitudes today. We had a group of lads giving their best, but up against a better side. If you think today's result was due to a lack of effort then I think football isn't for you.

I’m glad you aren’t the manager because we’d be destined for absolute sh*te season after season. Don’t worry lads don’t bother putting a foot in, don’t close anyone down, take 10 minutes on the ball. At least you ran out on the pitch.
 
Go to bed Bob. You're pissed
Hes so boring, always quick to slag our players. Neil up against one of the best midfields in the country n he comes on and slags the lad - neil wasnt at his best today but feel he has to carry the side so often as ekwah n jobe are so inconsistent. Hopefully get a good cdm in jan.

The occasion was just too big for our lads today. They are a quality side when they are on it, they play at such a high tempo n havr so much physicality. It was always going to be hard if they were close to their best. The facts are theyve spent over 400 million on that team

Always crap losing to that lot but the boys will hopefully be better for playing in such s big game

Now the focus is solely on the league, need to kick on 2nd half of the season

Only disagreement there is Dan Neil. I thought he was our MOTM today, albeit in difficult circumstances
