I guess the fact that league is gone has a huge implication, takes the edge off.

Fact is we are spoiled , I stayed to the end and was one of a handful applauding Sergio for another masterclass , yes the Palace goal was a sickener but streams of people leaving immediately after it with 5 mins+ on the clock would not be repeated in many grounds after a decent fightback.
Amen to thatAgreed. Today there were lots of new fans, certainly near me. No singing. Lots of photographs. Lots of big bags of merchandise. I'm the biggest optimist in the world but today a bit of my optimism died. I want noise, I want passion, I want lads and lasses that work all week and then want to be entertained by our boys in blue. But alas, I fear my time is coming to an end. Silence is spreading across the ground. Groans and moans if we don't score after 30 seconds. It's frightening and it's sucking the life out of the enjoyment in the game. I'll keep going and singing and shouting, but I'm becoming part of the dying breed. It's sad, very sad.
I get you blue.. its called ermmm errrr mmmm .....There’s probably a decent phd thesis in this somewhere to explain this fully , but I think what city fans have been through down the years has shaped our mentally into what it is today and leads to that sort of behaviour.
I’m struggling to think of a word to describe it. It’s not indifference, it’s not being blasé. Maybe someone else can put a word on it, and I wouldn’t call it being spoilt.
But think about it, is there another set of fans in world football who’ve experienced the highs and lows we’ve had over the last 20 years? Then throw in a load of tourists and new fans at the ground and it leads to this weird mix/atmosphere

One Bluemooner has referred to our support as jaded a few times and I reckon that pretty much sums us up.
