We are definitely different. Deinitely more pessimistic.
For example on the Championship facebook pages ALL the Southampton, Leeds and Ipswich fans are all convinved they're going up automaticaly and won't be told otherwise. They're the best sides, have the best manager and have the best players and "just wait and see" what happens at the end of the season. It's constant.
We're 10 points above all of them and our fans aren't like that at all. I think it's something deeply ingrained into the mentaility of the city.
