Quote: Offside Monkey "Sounds like everyone's nervous. Just like a proper derby should be.'"
I'm always nervous before these games, equal parts anticipation and worry. After so many years I've seen periods when we were dominant and won nearly all the derby matches, periods when Saints were winning them all, total batterings given either way and, off course, the many "form book goes out the window" moments. This is one of the few occasions when Eddie Hemmings' usual cliches are generally correct. It is usually a cracker, they do very rarely lets us down, you do write St Helens off at your peril and so on and so forth. Bring it on!
