A spirit of David of Newcastle versus the prideful Goliath of Sydney (or Melbourne or anywhere else, take your pick).



Barcelona would be just another regional Spanish city but the people there chose their football team to represent their passion, independent spirit and aspirations. I see a lot of similarities between that Catalunyan spirit and the Novocastrian spirit, but there always seems to be some barrier to that independent spirit being fully realised.

Heres the problem though. You want us to not think about being the little guy but then pigeonhole us as the little guy David.

Personally I hate teams that love being the underdog/little guy etc. Be the best or **** off. Best advice.

Also, the Barca thing is a bit of a stretch, you know, General Franco and all that.

Having said that though. The more blokes like you involved the better we'll be. Hope the team gives you some hope this year.
