I met a 'few ' mackems on sat night on the lash, and I got the same response off all of them,
Question ' what game do u first look for when the fixtures come out ?'
answer....... ooooo ear wee its ooer derby game!
question ' arent you gutted that there is no derby, us and the smogs will have more of a derby this season which isn't even a derby..... where u can look forward to , arsenal, manure, chelski, bindippers!
answer......... dinnit matter mayt u gont sent down...
Best game of the season in football terms means nowt then......
they are so chuffed more than ever that we went down and haven't a single thought on exactly what they are loosing out on, ( re derby games ) and how severley spanked they are going get this season....
Personally I would love it if all three north east teams were up there fighting for honours, instead of being the shear dissapointment that all 3 of us are..... they ( the mackems ) either don't see this or are so small minded and petty that the joy of us going down is like an fa cup win.
U can talk football all day long but when a person ( or region ) is soooooo happy at our demise and take pride in the misfortune of us , all I now hope is that they go the same way as we did, go on blow your budget on prima donna's and prove u never even learnt from our mistakes. but Bruce might just change things...
