How do you prepare for a derby?

[Donald Twain]

How delightfully polite and refined of you sir!

Thank you my good man, care for a toot yourself?

I'm not nervous at all for this one. Honestly, I'm so confident we're gonna smash these this time. I hope my confidence isn't misplaced optimism.
I know the morning of the game I'll be following my regular routine, up around 6:30am, coffee on, cig, drink said coffee, another cig, maybe wake n' bake, more coffee, game on at 7:30am and immediately wake up the whole house by shouting and singing.
End of game will be entirely dependent upon the result but will most likely involve me walking around my house grinning from ear to ear and phoning my red mate to give him grief.
His prediction btw is 2-2; mine 4-0 blues.

i'm perfectly sound until the kick off, then the nerves kick in.

Waking up at 4:30am, driving to Downtown Portland to meet the rest of the Oregon Evertonians and watch the game at 5:30am. Should be a good crowd of us there! Listen to Everton songs all week on YouTube while getting showered and ready, proper up for it now.

3-0 to us this will be lads, they are crap and we are Everton!!!

Where you drinking in Portland?

The amount of giddy optimism here is crazy!

I've clearly got lost and wandered onto a different forum

Home derby I usually just get bog nervous.

Away derby I usually get angry drunk.

We go to a place called BeerMongers, he get bottled Chang in for his sins and everything, then gives it out for dirt cheap (as it should be because it's crap). Makes us feel a little more connected anyway!

Fairly calm atm. Will be shaking like a pooing dog come Sunday morn, though.

Usually wake to the sound of my own screams at about 5:15 in a pool of sweat and misery.

Sweet, nearly moved there a few months back to work for Google. Jibbed it off though because of cost of living, unreal, worse than when I was in LA.
