The Derby...

Postby Beeks » Thu Oct 07, 2010 1:11 pm

I see tickets have gone on sale...too early to get excited about it?

Personally I can't wait...

Cant wait..

Looking forward to all the games tbh, but also it is difficult not to be looking for improvement during the next games leading up to the Derby.. players coming back and getting our attack sorted out. Would be great to be in top shape ready to meet the rags.

I think we'll do well against them if Adebayor and Ballotelli are both fit.

Personally I am more excited about the Arsenal game, they are a much better team than Utd now, plus their young squad could be a big rival for us in the next few years.

Will worry about the derby in November when its the next game; we need to get past the idea of them as our Cup final though.

What would be nice would be if we actually grew a pair and turned up and played unlike last April.

I think the majority have...but it's still a game we all look forward to on the fixture list...that 'Cup Final' tag was invented by the rags anyway...what set of fans doesn't look forward to the game with their closest rival...even more so now that we have achieved parity

Really hope that we are still above them in the league before the game, just for the extra spice. then sink them further down..

rag post of the day would be all time classic!

I'm really excited! First derby ever for me* and the first trip to Manchester this season as well! I queued for 20minutes to get through to box office right when they went on sale but at least I got tickets sorted! Can't wait!

*if only there's no problem this time

Let's hope it's better than last season. That was an extremely drab affair, both on and off the pitch.
Btw, does anyone actually enjoy the derby? I just feel sick before the game & have palpitations during the game.
