A question for those who remember the bad old days ... which is more nerve wracking, relegation last days or title deciders?

[Eric Hitchmough]

That is the crux of it. If our opponents weren't so insufferable, while losing the title would be a bitter pill to swallow, to lose it to this classless bunch of self righteous dicks would be unbearable. If the worst happens get smashed and avoid all TV and social media except here for the summer.

Nail on the head. If it wasn’t the Scouse vermin, or before that the Rags, it wouldn’t be anywhere near as bad.

That being said, I did cry like a baby when we went down at Stoke and Ipswich.

The difference is that the season (and the nerves) now goes on much longer. What I mean by that is previously we’d be striving for 40 points. By and large, we’d get them by mid April. Now every single game we play is a must win, even a draw is almost a disaster. Title run-in’s are so much more intense.

Dry your eyes mate

In one single moment, your whole life can turn round
I stand there for a minute, staring straight into the ground
Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
The world feels like it's caved in, proper sorry frown

We are going to win 5-0 proper batter them, it will be come in the first 30 mins!

Are you my dad? ;)
Before every game his preduction, “we’ll batter them 5-0”

Title decider’s are much worse, especially when if we lose, the trophy goes to Scum or Scummer !

This one maybe because we know if we lose, them cunts match our domestic treble and more like go on and win the quadruple, an unthinkable scenario.


Previous ones that have gone to the wire can only the QPR game got me jittery, and only when they equalised,.

Found last day promotion deciders more nerve racking than title deciders tbf as lose them then another year battling to get up/at risk of adminiatration/losing players etc, lose today and we can look back proud of a decent season knowing we gave our all and will be right there again next year on all fronts

This is worse than anything I can remember.

Relegation.

 

[the plasterer]

Think most of the time, we were resigned to being relegated so as gut wrenching as it was, think deep down we all knew we were gone, now, it's the thought of failure of not winning the league, me personally, I'm more stressed now than ever before with this title chase, been some journey that's for sure

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Relegation was without doubt worse, let's be honest we never knew if we'd return even back in the Luton days.

As it stands at the top although nothing ever lasts forever apart from the media wankfest IF we fuck up a cup/tittle we'll still be competing and winning them the next few seasons.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I think I’d go slightly more nerve wracking for relegation.

Mostly because even if our destiny was in our hands, we probably didn’t have the team or ability to fulfil that destiny.

So far, we have tended to win our title battles, so I am less scarred from that and even if the worst happens and we don’t win the league, 3 out of 5 isn’t bad and we will be challenging again next season in all likelihood.

Tough one
