I am both Confident and fearful in equal measures and so I am using the following logical arguement.
In my 41 years as a supporter they have won far more Derby's than we have.However,
They never beat us to win the Premiership.
They never beat us to send us down. Denis Law back heel.
They never beat us in a Semi Final. Francis Lee's free kick.
Now then when Robbie Fowler missed the penalty against the Smoggies it meant we didn't go in the Eufa Cup. It didn't mean we lost a Semi final or got Relegated - therefore Logic states that the next really vital Penalty goes in.
By the same token - if we lose to the Scum now in a couple of years we might beat them in the Final at Wembley or a semi Final in the Champions League - because that is where we are going long term.
My Heart says this is ours for the taking. My brain says its 50/50.
