Also, what's with the whole Newcastle/Man U love in on here? Aren't you two established (if not fierce) rivals? All seems very strange.
It's a gentlemen's rivalry. You wouldn't understand.
edit: I'll try to explain, however. With Newcastle at least two seasons away from mounting a serious title challenge, the clubs are competing at different levels. Our rivalry with ManU was about who would be champions, not bad blood. In the unlikely event that the Red Devils slip down to contending for the Europa League places, or the more likely case in which Newcastle is once again capable of putting in a dark horse run in the Premier League, the relationship will get more heated.
You might say that we're enjoying being on good terms and looking forward to hating each other.
