Our managers not going to be up for it which will show during the game like it has during every derby in his tenure here. 1 f***ing win against them since he took charge.
That was a jammy free kick from Raylor which Mignolet should have saved but we should have beaten them in a few other games. Pardew just does not seem capable of getting our players prepared for it.
Went to the two 2-0 FA Cup Final defeats in the 90s and the 4-0 Charity Shield loss and hope they suffer a similar depressing fate. Even if they get hammered which they should they will be talking about it for years and the result tonight will lift them for the derby.
