Head Honcho Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 Did anyone else get a sick sense of amusement when they found out we'd been beat yesterday? I left the house at 4.30 Saturday afternoon for a short meeting. I was in the bookies at 5.00 looking up at the screen to see if we'd held on for a 1-0 victory. The result came up and for some bizarre reason I wasn't that disappointed and I'm sure I cracked a smile. Was it because: I knew we were going to get beat anyway? I don't think we deserve to stay up? or because I stuck a bet on us to get relegated?!!! Obviously I don't want us to be relegated, but do we really deserve to stay up?

Fez of Mahrez Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 Not even amusement, I felt nothing when the goals went in. Tragic really. I used to live for our games but at the moment it's so hard to identify with the players, the club, the management and even a lot of fellow fans, I feel less of a connection. I'll still get a season ticket next year but right now, my passion for the club closely resembles that of most of the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a sense of the inevitable. Even when we're leading I never feel we can keep a clean sheet and yesterday you just knew Norwich would score - it was just a matter of how. I felt wretched - deep down disheartened and frustrated. Even my wife asked what was wrong and I didn't really speak for hours. Far from feeling amused I feel like I'm watching a close relative die and am utterly incapable of doing anything about it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to shed a tear everytime we lost a game especially in those kind of circumstances. Yesterday, I laughed and smiled. For the past 24 hours i've been planning life in League One, and because im looking forward to it, i'd be disappointed if we didn't get relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wils Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 I knew we were going to lose yesterday. I just cannot see us winning,we never made a stamp on the game yesterday and it was obvious they were going to get back into the game. Over time ive come to expect us not to win because were so negative and shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd look forward to life in Division 3 as I like to call it still and hope like WBA, Man City and Derby it is the start of a new generation.

chesterfox Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 F"""" me I feel suicidal - get a grip guys we do not want to go down - we do want to get rid and re-generate the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 At least if we go down we could have a clear out and start a fresh. Isn't that what we said when we were relegated from the Prem? Also look out for 'we'll win more games', 'we'll have proper players who only want to play for the shirt', 'we'll be a massive club in that league' etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandannieldanok Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 I wasn't amused, pratically tearful if anything. THe only time I have been satisfied after a City defeat was ironically Norwich at home last season, because I badly wanted CL out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
