So, with the genius of listeners, a biro and the back of a newspaper, this was compiled. Thanks to you all!
Derby Day A-Z
A- Avoid if you have a heart condition
B- Behind your hands, which is where you may be watching from
C- Chopra, who's played for both sides and who's popularity fluctuates wildly!
D- The Devotion both sets of fans display on derby day
E- End to end stuff, as it sometimes turns out to be
F-Football, obviously
G- Goals, double obviously
H-Happy days, hopefully for one side or the other
I- Inferiority complex, which some less-than-kind Newcastle fans have accused Sunderland fans of
J- Just a game! Chill out man!
K- Keegan, who is about as likely to return as we are to get Wogan's shift
L- Last minute goals, which can be cause for celebration or despair
M- Miracles, which some less-than-kind Sunderland fans have predicted Newcastle may need this time around
O- Over as in "I'll be glad when it's..."
P- Penalties, which have been a major factor in lots of Tyne- Wear (or Wear-Tyne) derbies.
Q- Queueing to get out ten minutes from the end if your team is losing
R- Relegation, something that must be on the minds of at least one of the teams
S- Stan Anderson, legendary player who played for both Newcastle and Sunderland sides in the 50's and 60's,
scoring significant numbers of goals for both
T- Tyne, of course
U- Unpredictable, form book out the window etc, etc...
V- Volleys of abuse the fans will fire at each other this afternoon
W- Wear, of course
X - eXcruciating, the pain of defeat
Y- whY worry? We're going to do it all again next season
Z- Zero, the nil-nil draw.... Nobody wants to see that...
For those of you who asked, the "Black n White Blues", the song I wrote live on air last year for the derby, is
sounding really dated (references to Big Sam etc...) so we couldn't really play it out, but thanks for asking. I
think I'll do an updated version for next derby day!
Thanks for listening!
