Many thanks for all your help. Best responses will hopefully go into the Millennium Magic programme.

i want to win EVERY game.
ok...saints is a derby game....but its not life or death.........so why give saints the pleasure of bigging them up?............years ago....yes.
now its just another 2 points.
it lost its gloss when we overkilled it..........before that it lost the shine when we went to summer rugby and lost boxing day and good friday as the 2 regular games.
now we have good friday and what?......anonymous wekend, and an artificial fixture to draw the crowds at MM weekend

The GF meant the world to me. I live in St Helens and have took stick for 10 years, the 75-0 being my lowest point. But I would take a GF win every day of the week for 2 75-0 losses a season.

Beating saints is better than sex

It means that on Monday morning I can walk into the school in Cirencester where I teach without being accosted by teenagers in every corridor, with their big grinning faces, chanting "St Helens" and attempting to mention the score in every conversation they have with me. You know you've made your mark in a school when the entire student population become St Helens supporters.
