m42 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thought so. Kept out of here today cos I knew it would be full of bile mainly generated by glass half empty people. We lost a match. So what? My 90 mile journey home was melancholic but I woke up today fit & well & full of optimism. Middlesbrough had better watch out on Saturday cos we're completing the double on Saturday. Oh yes we will!! U Reds!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though my 70 mile trip home was grim and I woke up hoping last night had been just a big horrible dream. It wasn't and I did not awake full of optimism.

"We lost a match, so what?" How about we got humiliated at home by our local rivals? That is the biggest understatement I've seen on here in a long time!

In decline?? IN DECLINE? I've loved 90%+ of the football I've watched these last 18 months. There are 23 other clubs as desperate as we are for success. It's not our right to be top 6. In decline? 1980 to 1982 - that was decline. We're competing in a brilliant league. So we got stuffed. No doubt we'll get stuffed again but we'll win more than we lose. In decline ... Rubbish!

Wouldn't logic, therefore, suggest that if we were to win a playoff final you'd be quite matter-of-fact and relatively lacking in emotion. In football the lows are as low as the highs are high, no?

Rubbish! your easily pleasd then cos i dont count winning 9 out of 40 league games as anything other than decline. who said anythin about top 6? the only 1 talkin about that was johnson at the start of the seson. i just want effort and direction for the city. what we saw last nite was totaly unaceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's easy for me to say ,10,000 miles from the action so I don't have to endure defeat at first hand,but we're still competing in what ,perhaps is the world's most competitive league. CITY will win through in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've loved 90%+ of the football I've watched these last 18 months. I thought last night was bad enough to drive me to drink but clearly I underestimated how bad it was - apparently it's driving some people straight to class A drugs.

Wouldn't logic, therefore, suggest that if we were to win a playoff final you'd be quite matter-of-fact and relatively lacking in emotion. In football the lows are as low as the highs are high, no? No logic wouldn't suggest that. Emotion generated by disappointing events is counter productive. I was ecstatic after the Palace play off games in May 08, the Rotherham game in May 2007, when Grimsby dropped points in April 98, the Huddersfield game in April 1990, the promotions & Freight Rover in the 80's, the Coventry game in May 1977, the Portsmouth game in April 76, the Oldham game in April 65. Not forgetting the cup games against Leeds, Liverpool & Chelsea! Not that many occasions for ecstacy, I know, but retained in my old grey matter, that's for sure. Why would I be matter of fact about those games? I can't be happy because I don't want to be sad?? Sorry, can't subscribe to that. Would have posted this earlier but my 88 year old dad rang cos he was feeling happy too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
