Just had a look at the build up thread and it seems the geordies are doing abit of infighting and are not as confident as they would like us to think. Now in this situation i'd normally be pleased that doubt is spreading through their ranks while we seem full of optimism (not just for the derby i mean in general)...However this is not an unfamiliar feeling infact the last time i had such ideas was in the week leading up to the 31st of october last year this is pessimism born out of optimism and its the curse of all in red and white lets just hope the worm has finally turned and we can enjoy being top cats and some good derby wins this season
