...........If only that was applied Bully, but sadly it ain't.
Think we've passed that test with flying colours frankly. Only Newcastle have screwed up their potential more than us in the last 100 years.
It's certainly in your head.It's in yer blood if you are a Blade.
Frustration born out of caring so much- that damned devotion the OP speaks ofI'm more thinking of the current Social Media outbursts here SBT........
That's so true Chips.It's certainly in your head.
You’ve nailed it there TT, for me at least,That's so true Chips.
From listening, and celebrating, every broadcast about football last year ( and before) I now feign indifference knowing, deep down, it's because its not going to be the good news we've heard in the recent past.
From elevated pride at every mention to 'hope they don't slag us off' - yet still listening
It's funny how it gets to us, how we react, and the superstitions we have GB. I can't leave the room while we're on TV- even when I'm bursting! Every time they say 'they look comfortable' etc etc I scream at them to shut up and spend more time looking at the clock than the action. To be fair the wife's as bad as me and we sort of ignore football news etc if we're like we are now.You’ve nailed it there TT, for me at least,
I pressed record and turned the match off with 10 minutes to go on Sunday. The Mrs thought it was because I was p‘d off because McBurnie had missed again but in actual fact I just couldn’t face hearing all the patronising comments or seeing the players and Wilder so down...and somehow just somehow, I also thought that maybe if I didn’t watch it we might just get a late goal. Definite self-blame and head in the sands syndrome.
Thats my problem I’m old school. I take it personal and I don’t get angry, I just hurt like f’ck and think that if I was there my dulcet tones could somehow spur us on.
Anyway, we’ve got an excellent bottle of plonk and it’s been on the side since August ready for us to celebrate our first win. Every match day I say ‘I hope we’re drinking that tonight’. Lets hope it doesn’t go out of date.
