IT absolutely kills me the week leading up to it and then I struggle to watch both home and away games cos my nerves are shot.
That sentence describes my attitude towards the Derby perfectly. I haven't been able to watch/listen to the games for at least five years, which is odd cause when the Mags had the upper hand years ago I watched all those games, funny game is football, but nothing else comes close to the Wear/Tyne matches.
I have had my disagreements with Sombrero over the years but he is definitely not a post 1992 plakka mag. He watched the pre keegan 1992 rubbish of the 1970's so I will defend him on the plakka mag allegation.
