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

I've never ever looked forward to the Euros as I am now. Just need football that isn't us and I can watch without anything riding on it or disappointment if we lose.


Like I said earlier in the thread. Is what it is, we'll be back there soon, hopefully with a world class striker leading the line and a couple of players having left the club.

Sun's shining and it's a Bank Holiday. Enjoy it Blues. We're the champions of England with another cup in the bag. Imagine losing a European final, and you've won fucking nowt!

The ending (to an otherwise fabulous campaign) reminded me a little of how awful it felt to finish with disappointment with nothing to help take the mind off for the summer. 1983 was bad enough but at least there was a cricket world cup at home to watch. 1987 was dire though as that year's tournament was in India/Pakistan in October and we lost the home test series to Pakistan for the first time in history. 2001 wasn't much better with a hammering from the Aussies and Yorkshire winning the championship.

Quite looking forward to the Euros now when I'd normally be a bit indifferent to it, but honestly it's such a good time to be a blue even if it wasn't happening.
 
I started this on the night of the shitshow that was our team selection and abject performance as I wasn't overy arsed, now 4 days later I acruaply feel pisssed off, with Pep mainly and the opportunity given up (not lost)


Still not gutted like but more angry about than I was on the night and day(s) after

It upset me. I’m still on football media blackout. Bluemoon is my only source of football news for the next month or so. The only good thing that came from Saturday was I followed my bad feeling about the game and chucked a good few quid on the chav wankers so it‘s paid for my rowing machine. I’m still vehemently pissed off though. I refuse to read anything about those stuffy cunts because I’ll get more wound up. We are a bigger club and better team than them. Fuck it I can feel myself getting angry again.

Summer is all about holidays, cricket and the Lions rugby. Fuck football, til August. Apart from any transfers to City of course, Kane or Grealish or Haaland would be a perfect cure.
 
I mainly just feel a bit bewildered by the feeling that yet again it feels self inflicted to some extent but in the scheme of things I can say I have felt much much worse after many defeats in the past. I'm not one of those who doesn't value the Champions League, I genuinely see it as a highlight in the season and live for the odd European away day. I think the fact it was all so affected by Covid made me always have in the back of my mind that it didn't quite sit right that we would win our first CL in those circumstances. My heart genuinely goes out to the people that made the trip, it probably feels devastating for them, but my overriding thought is that we will win it soon with 15-20k blues in the ground and a further 30k blues partying outside the ground.

I finished my 6 days in yesterday,monday.Thats the reason i couldn't go to Porto, a long story in itself.

So today,I'm on the piss now,its saturday for me now.

I'm fucking livid,furious what happened satdi,and today with drink will get worse for me I know,
only seen my nipper cry once in his life till satdi night,he'll get over it same as i will.
the lyon debacle last year was a disgrace,but saturday? wow,only City could do that
was it sterling last week saying " only city could beat city ",he was right and it came true
10 years I'v waited for saturday and that happened
a collective team nightmare,was it stage fright? whatever it was,it was unbelievable,to save one of the seasons worst team performances for a game of that magnitude

no point banging on about peps sterling/fern selection choice,its gone,over
 
Wish I was in the same boat as OP. Am still absolutely gutted with it all, maybe we went in over-confident, kept saying before the game anything can happen in a one off game but will admit I thought we were going to win. Wish I'd been louder in the ground and got behind them more than I did but it just felt so difficult.

It just seems such a long way back now, we're still a great side and I still trust Pep despite another crazy selection which set the tone for the whole game, but it was such a great chance this year having got there and playing a Chelsea side who we are just better than 9 times out of 10 if we play our full strength side.

Perspective needed of course, it's a massive achievement to get there and something that would have been been beyond our wildest dreams in years gone by, and the day in Porto before the game with my brothers and my dad is something I'll never forget and realise how lucky we are to have had that. But it still hurts a lot and will do for a few days yet I think.
 
I’ve stayed away from anything football media related. I’ve forgotten the game. No sense of anger or defeat. Can only sigh and wait to go through it all from August.

So many thoughts but it doesn’t change that City lost. Felt like a lack of belief. They may have been overwhelmed by the occasion. It happens. Well, we move on.

The champions of England,
with a lack of belief ?
that turned around a season going nowhere before xmas
why weren't chelsea overwhelmed by the occasion?

its gone,its over,
but by fuck that was outragious from our team saturday
 
Gutted on the night. Soon got over it due to the fact that I've got far more important shit going on and getting bogged down with ongoing disappointment due to a game of football doesn't work for me.
Appreciate we are all made different but part of me is glad I'm not somebody who wastes too much time sulking over a defeat.
Looking forward to all the highs and lows of next season.
