What does derby week consist of for you...

Seeing a few red friends burying their heads in their hands and admitting they expect the worst.

Me, Standing tall, agreeing with them, but for all the right reasons from my perspective.

I can't remember the last time they were dreading a derby so much. Usually they are cock sure, but not this time.

They are a bit quiet and submissive, at least the ones I know are.

I know some hard core reds, and they are, well, strangely, unusually, lacking in confidence, and don't really want to talk about football.

It's not like them at all, he he he.

Bring it on, as I'm loving being a blue at the moment, and let's shut them up for a while longer!
 
usually i lose a stone in weight with worry, but this time i am very confident. We will get something out of this game. I think them lot are shitting it more than us in the knowledge that if we beat them we virtually hand the title to Chelsea.
Also knowing that even if we get beat we can certainly rely on Chelski to do spuds later in the day. Also we can ,and will do spuds at home.
So even if results go against us we aint done yet. Them fuckers know we have arrived and we are here to stay.

I have just realised that my hands are shaking whilst typing and i am talking bollox so i am shitting it really!

fuck im gonna be sick

I think all the lads need is an atmosphere 2nd to none and everyone in the ground ,man for man ( inc the North and CB stands! ) to be on full voice and that will spur them on.

Look at spuds last night - they have not worked that hard all season and their crowd has not been as loud and as passionate. All we need is a bit of that.
Our contribution to the day cannot be underestimated.

Imagine - we win and then we got all afternoon on the piss watching Chelsea do spuds without a GAY scarf to be seen. Bliss

cmon City
 
I have about 6 pisses a minute, sweat my tits off with worry. Have 4 pints before the game, throw them up as the players come out of the tunnel and then want to punch everyone in the face when they score in the 100th min.

I fucking hate the red bastards!!!
 
I spend all the time before the game in a permanent state of red-hatred. Post box = HATE. Red bus = HATE. Woman in red dress = HATE. Cut myself shaving and see the blood = HATE.

This strange phenomena continues up to and including the match itself where it reaches a climax when I see the rag bastards take to the pitch in red (which, in case you've forgotten, red = HATE) and climaxes in a full-throttle venting of my spleen towards the hated enemy. Coarse hand gestures and vile swearwords are then the order of the day for a minimum of 90 minutes, and then, when the score board confirms a City win I retreat back to being the good old meek and mild KentBlue that I usually am. I smile beningly at old ladies in the street and help then cross the road with a cheery word and a tip of the hat. I laugh gaily as I skip nonchalantly along the road without a care in the world. Secure in the knowledge that we've done those venomous bastards once again and all is now well with the world.
 
Stomach spasms and a raised systolic blood pressure, usually! Bouts of optimism, hatred and depression in equal measures. Clinging on to positive omens and superstition (a major feature of the week!) e.g. if I can be nice to my wife or do some washing up, everything will be OK.
 
Having arguments with United mates, even the ones who aren't that into football.

Constantly refreshing Newsnow for derby info.

Stomach churning more and more before the day.

Trying everything at work to get the day of the match off.

It`s not just me then
 
Great banter and all friendships with rags are off for a week.. On facebook last night and they were all trying to get a rise from me,but it didn't happen!! I find laughing at them winds them up even more!

Quote from a rag last night who previously said he wasn't interested in us or any other club 'Good night blue nose,i hope you shit the bed'
 
Thinking about where i'm gonna put city flag and scarf in the pub i work in(especially as the boss i.e A Bollox is a rag) Also shitting myself for days and moving the couch out from the wall!!!
 
guys ffs get a grip blues....time for a bit of perspective here!!!!....look at the bigger picture...this is one game...ok a very important one but its one small step on the way to much bigger things ie; the adug investment alone could pay off their whole debt as has already been mentioned on another topic.
they now have fear too..of us!!!....when was that ever the case???

this is the painful exorcising of the ghosts of our own fears inbedded over the years watching their success against our own failures...win loose or draw isnt really so much to get paranoid over when measured against the future this club is about to experience......that is the real prize to come.

It's not actually a Yoonited dartboard, I printed off their venomous badge onto an A4 piece of paper (It did blind me, mind) then stuck it onto the board.

Ok here's my derby week;

Shitting myself for a week before hand
Avoid all rags at work in case they start something and i'm forced to chin them
Nerves shot by the morning of the game
Intense panic arriving at coms
Intense hatred as the scum walk out of the tunnel
Complete fear as whistle blows for kick off
90 (plus fergie time) mins of severe anxiety with extreme terror every time they get close to shooting
Euphoria if we score
Suicidal if they score
Orgasmic bliss if we win
Anger if we lose
Smugness and Pride in work on monday morning if we win
Avoid all rags in work on monday morning if we lose in case they start something and i'm forced to chin them again
Total exhaustion by the end of monday

God knows how i'm gonna cope if we start meeting them more than twice a season when we're in cup finals/champions league etc lol ;-)

This basically, although i have one rag m8 who is pretty clued up on football and i love winding him up constantly all that following week knowing that he can't answer for anything regarding them being battered. love it!.
 
Talking about it.
Thinking about it.
Reading about.
Sleeping badly.
Wearing various City kits/tops all week.
Winding the Delia's up.
Being totally optimistic until i get off the bus and then having a sense of impending doom.

Then spend the entire match convinced they will score if they are anywhere near our goal.
 
As a southerner and LIFE long supporter, it means stress getting up to Manchester with me now very aging Grandad (the Manchester influence) me uncle , me mam and me cousin!

Then staying in a respectable hotel and getting smashed but not too smashed...

The week has been fraught with worrying about Arsenal beating the spuds which they couldn't do for us, and now nail biting anticipation of arriving at COMs on saturday.

Generally stressful. If we lose I might disappear into the bottom of a bottle of gin.

Look forward to singing along and ranting at COMs with you all.
 
Trying to ensure that I am not leaving my house at the precise moment that the son of my next door neighbour is arriving with his scrawny brat dressed from head to toe in an infant replica Rag kit.
 
-drinking nightly to quell the anxiety
-singing mcfc songs nightly
-talking shit to every person i know who follows football, rag or not (soccer here in the US)
-happy to know that the game is televised and i will just be getting shitty all day
-i love derby week.
