.... Until the derby. Are you guys looking forward to it? I think it will be a very close affair and probably the first time in a long time that we've both been in such healthy shape.
I certainly don't expect the heartless performance of last season from my team, think you may be in for a battle.
To be honest mate, I try to put it out of my mind because it gives me a twist in my stomach just thinking about it..
Hell does anyone enjoy the derby? Ha. Got to be honest its the most gut wrenching 90 minutes of the year for me and enjoyment is the last thing on my mind.
I enjoy the day as the atmostphere is something special. Its also fun joining in the banter with my Mackem family.
We've been so poor in the recent derby games it's been embarrassing, I think both sets of fans know it will be a battle royale this time around Lets hope there are no fresh injuries this weekend or in the internationals to follow.
I just hope we can enjoy the post derby banter, seems a long, long time since we have. TBH the 5-1 did not hurt that much in a daft way, I was more embarressed than hurt, no more of that please.
This - there is no derby we need to think about until 4:45pm(ish) on Saturday - then we can start thinking about that...
No, we just totally freeze every time we see those black and white shirts. It baffles me. However, at least this year we know our manager doesn't actually want Newcastle to win the game. Say what you like if he didn't do it on purpose he was totally incompetent and I'm worried about what Colback might do, he is a geordie after all and from bitter experience we all now know you can't trust them, they are devious.
