I got it in both ears my Chelsea following Dad and Leeds following friends. Then when I started going to Elland Road I understood, that first time it takes your breath away 30k plus people all wanting the same as you, but if your mob rolled up or Man U the energy and feelings got turned up to 11, I've never been one to take part in violence at football but can understand why it happens with idiotic young men defending their 'turf' with heightened emotions and a number of cheap beers.
But if you were to sit-down in a pub and football wasn't talked about you would probably get on with the lad you were yelling abuse at. The pleasure in beating our closest rivals is only outweighed by the pain in loosing to them.
But like I said a nice 1 - 0 loss will do me fine concentrate on the league and this game can be played in the Premier League next season rather than the cup.
