Does anyone actually enjoy these games? I hate the build up, the nerves, the whole f*cking thing. If you enjoy derby games you're a psychopath haha

There's never been much riding on these derbys except the bragging rights and going into work Monday with a spring in your step.imagine one was promotion /relegation decider or Wembley cup final.

If you remember, the year that Swansea got promoted to the Premier League via the play offs there was a real possibility that the play off final at Wembley could have been between us and them.

The authorities must have been absolutely shitting themselves at the prospect of the two sets of fans travelling to and back from the game at the same time - the services on the M4 would probably have closed for the day and boarded themselves up.

I'm sure we would have seen a few dodgy refereeing decisions if it had looked like that was going to happen but we managed to let everyone off the hook by being shite in the home leg of the semi final against Reading.

Love the build up. It’s the actual game that makes me feel sick :lol:

It only enjoyable when you’ve won it when the whistle goes. That late Chopra winner best moment at new stadium IMO.

you need that question to come after the match today because every fan will say the same until the 1st encounter has prevailed. Cardiff fans will say its nervous for obvious reasons partly because its been a while since the last time the derby happened. So wait and see is my approach.
