Re: Getting in the mood
I fucking would if I had it!. Later I'll be watching the semi win and the 1-0 from the title winning season (probably through blurred vision, if this beer keeps flowing like it is).davymcfc said:Stick jimmy Grimble on.

Re: Derby nerves
I am sure camel gob and evra came out with the same shite rughead is spouting about liverpool , if we are not their biggest why do they keep on saying it every few months? , baconface was the main culprit his annual "dippers are our main rivals" crap.. Derby nerves start on match day for me ,as for the game , if we dont concede in the first 20 minutes i am confident we will win the game , but shrek has a habit of nicking an early goal at our place and then we have to battle back for a draw . Personally much as i hate yoooonited , the bayern game is the must win match ,

What I don't like if the way they get their mates in the press to hype them up, every bloody Derby, all we hear about is Shreks overhead kick but never a mention of the time a team came to the swamp and put 6 past them

I am not a great believer in the agenda but I have been shocked by the amount of Pro United stories in the press today,
Classic from keown in the mail today, picked his Manchester xi, given his football genius his three man midfield consisted of yaya, carrick and fallaini. Just a good job he doesn't take up management when he would bench silva in place of those two rags.

Even if you have never been one for conspiracy theories and a press agenda, you would have to wonder about it when you read the papers today. The mail has (predictably) Shrek's wonder shin goal plastered all over it, headlines about how much Rapist's last minute goal must have hurt us, all sort of Scum favourable stats. And not one word about the 6-1 nor the fact that we have a much better record than them in the Derbies over recent years.
And then to add insult to injury, a ridiculous article saying the car washers at City are sad to see Barry leave because he's the only one who tipped and the other players are so tight they argue over the £25 valeting fee. Utterly pathetic.
They'd print articles about all the City players having unusually small testiles if they thought they wouldn't get sued over it. Just pathetic.

Re: Derby nerves
I hate derbies until they are over and won. Back in the day I used to dread a real humiliation even though it rarely happened. Nowadays, of course, there's more at stake in terms of the games' bearing on silverware. Our prospects of defeating the shite are much higher but these games are still unpredictable. Ultimately, because I love City and despise the rags, every derby is nerve-racking.
That said, tomorrow is slighly less pressured because the consequences of any particular result are unlikely to be immediate.
Der Bomber said:LIke a lot of the earlier posters, I am not scared by them anymore. But I HATE Derby matches. Hate them hate them hate them. I just can't bear the thought of losing to those vermin and of having to listen to their rabble afterwords.
Back in the day it was easier for me. You'd expect to get battered but then when you got something else it was the greatest thing ever. That 4-1 in the spring of '04 where Fowler netted about 4 minutes in was one of the greatest feelings I'd ever had up to that point.
In a strange way I almost miss those old days where there was nothing to lose and only upside. Nothing was worse as a "derby week" than the 30 April match in '12. I was such a wreck that I ALMOST did not watch that.

It's like they are whipping the Rag armchair fans into a frenzy, I guess it gets them buying the papers
