What does it mean to you to beat Saints ?
Does it make your year ? Does it makes you dance for joy, reach for a kebab, make love to the ... ?
And what's it like losing to the old enemy ?
Do you kick the cat, reach for a stack of kebabs ?
We want to hear from you in 10 to a maximum of 50 words on just what it means to you beating and losing to your fiercest rivals.
The best responses will appear in a feature on derbies planned for the match programme for Millennium Magic which, of course, features Wigan-St Helens derby on Saturday February 12.
So let rip, but no swear words, please.
Look forward to reading them.
Good luck!

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

It means Billinge is an even nicer place to be. Wigan fans with big smiles on their faces, Saints fans head bowed trying to avoid any contact at all.

Well, I'm sure Madge being the coach would take the philosophical route that it counts for no more points than Celtic or Catalan. But, waking up Monday feeling secure in the knowledge that the daily banter with Saints fans you meet will be much sweeter.

There is no better derby in Super League!!!
Whatever league standings are before the derby is irrelevant - the build up always feels like a Grand Final and everyone steps up.
Winning means everything but loosing is heartbreaking

Although still a very pleasurable experience it doesn't mean as much as when i has St Helens fans to gloat to. Living down here i just enjoy seeing Wigan win irrespective of the team we are playing.

Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

[quote="Doogal McQuire.":2tzw9wtk]The perception with everyone from outside the Rugby League Community is that Wigan are still the biggest name in British rugby league.
It is a hard pill to swallow but unbelievably true.[/quote:2tzw9wtk]:2538.png |

It means I can walk to my house with my head held high and give a nice wave to the neighbours.
