Sadly, your view isn’t appreciated by some of the come day, go day so called ‘fan’ we have inherited.
Your balanced opinion, of which I share wholeheartedly, isn’t valued by a new generation of ‘fans’.
They want success, success and more success.They won’t tolerate top 4 mediocrity. LOL, as if top 4 is mediocre.
If not.
Sack Pep, he’s washed up.
Sell the players. Too old. Not good enough. Not world class. Not of our standard. Etc, etc, etc.
The world has gone bloody barmy.
I share your sentiment, let’s get right behind them, but we’re a dying breed.
Football/Society is changing.
And not for the better.
I’ll get lambasted I’m sure for being a ‘happy clapper’, a ‘Maine Roader’and you know what, I don’t mind one bit.
I still get the same buzz out of seeing that green grass, the same feeling as the first time I walked in the Kippax. The same feeling seeing that sky blue shirt.
Those new ‘fans’ won’t know that feeling, won’t know the euphoria of a 5-1 win against Charlton to get back into ‘the big time’
The hysteria of the 5-1 massacre against those lot.
But I will.
I’ve been there, seen it, bought the t-shirt and completed it in Istanbul.
They will never, ever, have the same feelings as me at winning a semi final in the FA Cup, being mentally, physically and emotionally drained just to get through to a FA Cup Final by beating our neighbours.
They won’t have the exhilaration of 93:20 when every single breath in my body had gone, literally gone, then crying, laughing and screaming because we had done it. We’d done it, and I was there with my best mate, my daughter and my son. Life was quite probably completed that day.
They come on here, slag us oldies off for living in the past, well I’m more than happy for the City past that I have experienced because it’s been part of my life. I didn’t need to share it on social media for likes, I lived it, loved it and bought the pink later to remember it.
Sorry for the drivel but reading some of the nonsense on here drives you to it.
Roll on Brighton.
