So if we park the term ‘plucky’ to me what actually happened yesterday was so Premier league. A team below a sky 4 club in terms of quality giving it a good go but a depressingly familiar and inevitability about the result that will be repeated this season time and again and we have seen time and again.
Going there more in hope than expectation and after 10 mins its realistically game over. Not capitalising on the chances and then the sky 4 club being able to sort themselves out and winning.
Yesterday was no different to our first season back. Spuds away, Arsenal away, Manure away, Dippers at home. Brilliant and enjoyable as it was last season I think there does need to be an asterisk against some results against the sky wankfest clubs because of the unique nature of playing football in the pandemic empty stadiums.
So i am and will remain completely MEH about yesterday, Good performance or not , that was just routine predictable premier league fare yesterday in my humble. I really don’t take anything from a 3 nil defeat or look back fondly at my team being given a ‘didn’t they do well ‘ pat on the head in the sky studio. And I will go back to to my posts immediately after the play off final. I was not looking forward to the giving it a right go but losing games predictable nature of the league. I am consistent in this , I can’t be arsed with this league if we are just making up the numbers.
We are invested, we take more notice, we analyse more because it’s our team but if that was Burnley doing that yesterday i imagine most of us will be pretty scathing about them being a typical stereotype team happy to give it a go mid table team. And cold light of day that was all that was yesterday. My prerogative but I really don’t take much from yesterday. We lost .Sorry.
