This thread did what it was meant to, daft but got people looking and posting. Today has been a tumbleweed day, with nothing to discuss football wise. Just thought id see if I could get a small fire going. Rivalry is good as long as we know where to draw the line.
By the anonymous personal abuse (as well as some public abuse on their board) I've received from some Mags, I feel my comments have had the desired effect.
I have to say, regarding my feelings towards the unwashed black and white hoard are as simple as this; (I have said the same a long while back).... I don't want them relegated from the prem. I just want them to finish CONSTANTLY 4th bottom, even better if it involves a do-or-die final day away victory. Want them to squirm. x
Snap again. I love the derbies, no game gives me the pre match buzz and butterflies like it. I genuinely missed it 2 seasons ago as I'm sure they have when we have gone down.
cbrad, sorry, but that is what football is about - the tension of a northeast derby is the ultimate! Hands up now! Which of us wants or wanted to score the winning goal away from home v the Toon. My hand is up! Oh. To do a Gary ****ing Rowell. Shall we go for 5 or take the piss? Lets take the piss. x
We will wind up with fencing in both our stadiums if any more trouble starts, or the supporters will be banned again, like 1996.
