I'd really hate it if they went down. Not having the derby games to look forward to would make next year so much less interesting.

WTF

 

Id rather have 2 derby games to really add some excitement into our season than have 2 meaningless games against Derby.

 

The massive rush for tickets this morning suggests I'm not alone.

Aye but surely you would be disappointed rather than "really hating it".... If they go down its party time! I wouldn't give a f*** if they got relegated for the next 5 seasons and went bust and not longer existed. c***s.

 

I would genuinely hate it. Football is about these games and local rivalries etc and losing our only rival (probably forever as they're not coming back up) would leave a massive gap in our footballing lives.

 

I admit I don't take the rivalry as seriously as most btw, only when it matters.

i think you are in a minority jack, a very small minority.

 

Probably, for now at least. If they go down and stay down you'll realise I'm right  :yuno:

i'm old enough to have spent a few seasons with them in a division below us. I liked it.

 

Can't stand the derbies nor all the shit that goes on around them, the policing, daft kick off times etc.

Seldom decent games, and as has been stated earlier always feels like we have a lot more to lose than them with the way the media go on about their occasional victories and mackems still celebrating narrow flukey wins 20 years later.

Much prefer the occasion when we're playing against one of the big clubs or a big European night.

mackem at work was spitting feathers because in the daft hypothetical scenario he dreamt up, where I was a PL chairman, I didn't immediately say O'Neill rather than Pardew if I had to appoint a manager.

 

Was also appalled when I said that winning trophies for fun in Scotland then the League Cup down here was something Alex pissing McLeish also did.

 

It's a cracking riposte that one. Brought it up to a mackem I know when he was prattling on about O'Neyull's track record.

 

And Souness. :yao:

Quite looking forward to the run in to the end of the season now. Should be interesting now that Agent Graham enters the frame...

"It was a horrible experience and what happened at Sunderland has motivated us all season."

 

"It was something myself and a lot of the players won't forget. When the final whistle went, we didn't really know what the score at City was.

 

"But then we heard the Sunderland fans cheering.

 

"They didn't have the best of seasons so for them to be cheering like that was sad."

 

For United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, it brought the painful memories back of 20 years past when the club faltered at Liverpool to hand the title to Leeds.

 

"The young players came out that day and the Liverpool fans were asking for their autographs, Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Neville, and they were tearing them up, tearing their autographs up."

 

"I said to Giggs and the boys 'remember this day'.

 

"Those Sunderland fans were cheering for City.

 

"We won't forget that, I'm telling you."

 

Destroy em! #karmaisabitch  :iamatwat:

Actually, he can add an FA Cup win to his League Cup...ironically beating Sunderland in the final.

Daily Star has a two page spread pointing out all the problems at sunderland. Turn over a page and its a page on how everything is looking up at Newcastle  :lol:

 

Magedia again  :frantic:

I don't really want them to go down, but a decent relegation scare wouldn't go amiss.

 

They're probably the worst side in the league and certainly the least attractive but they won't go down.

I still think that in the dogfight of a messy relegation battle they'd be better suited for survival than us, and I find it hard to believe that two clubs seperated by only 2 points, and still having to play each other, can have supporters with such polarised levels of optimism.

I think we should all calm down to be honest.  They may have a harder run-in but were only two points above them.  It could very easily be us.

it's why the fulham game, seemingly forgotten, is as big as those around it. 3 poiunts from that and we are safe and able to relax for the derby. don't really want to go into that game "needing" points.

I hope the players aren't as complacent as some on here.
