Boumsong "I Don't Want To See Derby War"

Last updated : 20 October 2005 By Footy Mad - Editor
Jean-Alain Boumsong: "You don't have to forget it is a football match. Of course, there will be a lot of passion. The passion will be good, everything will be great, but it's still a game - not war!
"I realise Sunday will be that kind of game and I'm looking forward to playing, first of all because it is a derby, we're playing at home and we need points. We are all really looking forward to playing that game and I'm absolutely sure we'll go on the pitch with a real fighting spirit and real quality.
"I've seen a little bit of Sunderland on the television. I've seen them play well in some games and I know they are quite a good team. They can surprise a team if they are not ready to face them properly. Of course I don't know everything about them - that's the fun part of the thing - so you have to be ready, concentrate on the game and work hard."
