It hasn't upset me as much as I thought I would

[lancs blue]

I was very disappointed but I get where the OP is coming from. When I first saw the line-up I was worried and half-expecting the kind of performance we ended up with so I probably wasn't as gutted as I was when we went out to Spurs, for example.

It's going to gnaw away at me all summer.

Weird post! Pinnacle of club football and we blew it.

Saying "you don't care" is a coping mechanism. It's what the Rags and Dipper use for us.

I care, very much. Mainly because we were absolutely brilliant against Dortmund and P.S.G. and I really thought we had a good chance this year. We played four finals in those four matches, then were completely stifled in the real one.
But it does definitely help me to swallow this bitter pill that we are champions of our own league by a cool twelve points. And that that lot across the road have won — for the fourth season or is it the fifth? — sweet f.a.
I care also because I’m far from certain that we’ll be back in a CL final any time soon. Could be another three, four, five year wait.

And we will have several chances again, and to look at it as the pinacle and be all and end all of watching any club is what the rags and dippers do.

We lost, am I not happy about it? Yes, am I over it? Also yes.


It isn't a coping mechanism as I have seen shitter things happen to us over the years, just how I felt last night, less devasted than I thought I would be.

Strange thing is I somehow convinced myself before the game I wasnt really bothered, corrupt competition where clubs who have not been champions for years can win the champions league?, even win it after losing 5 or 6 games in the run up to the final? a competion where we never seem to get any luck at all?,
But deep down I really thought we would win it, were a better team than chelsea we just need to play our usual game we have been playing most of the season,
I think thats why it hurts so much now to lose & I didnt think it would, maybee it will feel so much better if we do win it in the future?

So from last night you've gone from "not arsed" to "less devastated" this morning.

Again talking or posting about a loss is a coping mechanism, keep posting about not being arsed ;)

 

[Sir peace frog]

Anyone else weirdly not arsed?


Out of all my 35 yrs as a blue and disapointments this weirdly ranks very low.

Probably a thread for anyone who can take disapointment

I'm actually the opposite, defeat usually is brushed off after an hour or so, woke up last night thinking about what if and this morning, strangely I couldn't get out of bed this morning and went back to sleep, and that is the complete opposite to my usual self, I'm a big boy will get over it, think I was expecting the win rather than hoping, I was so confident

 

[dave_blue12]

Feel much the same as the OP.

Saw the team selection and immediately readjusted my expectations.

I see the point of that the performance makes me less gutted than I thought I would be. Now if it had been a Spurs style last minute VAR sort of situation I’d probably still be floored.
