Nothing wrong with rivalry, but I'd say there's a time and a place, and at present it definitely isn't either for us. Newcastle lost against Arsenal. Yes it may not be the Arsenal of old, but still one of the most successful teams of recent years.
We lost against Burton Albion.
Personal opinion, I would much rather we just got our own shit in order (which I believe we are doing both on and off the pitch). Who knows if we get it right this season we could well have the chance to properly rekindle the rivalry next season.
