Don’t know about you all (don’t expect many to agree with me), but rather than spew on it, get pissed off, rant and rave, make excuses and be bitter about it, I have decided on a change of mindset to lighten my mood and reduce some of the stresses that supporting your team can bring.
We all know the Dippers are going to win the league and as hard as it is to accept, we have to begrudgingly admit they will have deserved it. Yes, they have had some unbelievable luck on their side. Yes, they seem to get pretty much all close-call decisions go their way. But they have been the best, most consistent team in the League this year by far, so they will have earned the title win.
So here’s the thing…
They may well end up with a record points total, but will they be the first team to reach 100 points? Nope.
Will it have been the best climax to a premier league season ever? Nope (we claim the top two places on that list, quite easily).
Will they get to experience that once in a lifetime, defining, magical moment? Nope (we have Agueroooo to thank for that).
Does it heap all the pressure right onto their shoulders for next season to see if they find it so easy to win back to back? Absolutely.
For all the thousands of absolute knobhead Dipper fans there are (who will be unbearable), I do also know a few genuinely decent ones...and I will try to just be happy for them instead. As much as I’d like us to always win everything, I know it is good for everyone to share the spoils out once in a while.
It will keep us fresh, keep us hungry, keep us on our toes and make us more determined than ever to come back stronger next year (after hopefully a Summer of splashing a not insignificant amount of the Sheikh’s cash).
And if all else fails, just remember this….if you think we are gonna find it painful putting up with that lot winning the League, just try to imagine how the Rag supporters will feel about it!! That is surely enough to give any blue a little wry smile :)
At least we are still up there, fighting, playing great football, winning trophies (touch wood that continues this season).
God Bless all us Blues….and let’s be grateful for what we’ve got and who we are.
