North London Derby day is a bastard of epic proportions.
Way worseOF ALL than v chelsea or west ham imo
I feel nervous from the minute our final match immediately before has ended.
I bounce between optimism and doom for the days preceding and then the night before I start to feel queasy
When I wake on the day of the match I find it hard to swallow, cant think about other things but hate thinking about the match
If I am at the game I can watch it ... if I am in a football pub I can watch but if I am at home I watch from behind my hands like its a horror film, and if its on the radio I can only listen for a score update and then have to turn it off.
If we draw ... I sign and forget about the stress, if we win I ****ING LUV IT, JUST LUV IT, but losing makes me wanna buy a cat to kick.
I am very chilled a vast majority of the time ... but after a loss I am like a hormonal 16 yr old... the world is against me, no one understands and it aint fair. I dont want my kids repeating my words of wisdom to them..."winning is not everything" will come out of my 11 yr old daughters mouth in a really kind way..."sorry you lost dad but there is always next time" will follow...I struggle to give her a weak smile while my insides are screaming..."NEXT ****ING TIME...**** NEXT TIME...NOW IS WOT ****ING MATTERS...ARE YOU ON A ****ING WIND UP???? IF YOU WANNA BE ****ING USEFUL GET ME A ****ING CAT!"
Thankfully I keep it all inside but its like swallowing your sick...
And to make this one worse it is on my ****ing 47th birthday .... OF ALL THE BASTARD LUCK
I really really really really hate NLD day...am I the only one?
