The derby match beckons!!
9 November 2007
Well, it is Friday and the panic can commence!
Only three Premier League games tomorrow, but only one that matters! Need I say that it is Sunderland against Newcastle?
I have played in lots of derby matches and it cannot be denied that they are different and very, very special. You can live on a victory for months irrespective of league position or form or you can take endless "stick" until the next time.
Nobody will want to make a mistake which doesn't always augur well for a game that is good on the eye but usually there are one or two players who can rise above the tension and the occasion and actually get the ball down and play.
Who will that be?
We wait with baited breathe!
