You know that feeling when you've spent some time in a dark room and then you open the door and experience harsh sunlight? Its disorientating and take time to adjust.
Well thats how I felt today listening to the stream with Macca co-commentating.
He was by no means lenient on us - he criticized Balotelli, and took the piss out of Yaya for wearing a snood, and intimated that he'd wanted to see an upset today......
.......but overall he was fair.
Fair. Its such an ordinary, straightforward word and yet I just wrote it in utter amazement!!!
I was actually beginning to become accustomed to Gale, Taylor et al consistently slagging us off throughout games. It was starting to feel normal to watch my team whilst having to tune out the constant pollution of biased hatred towards us.
Now Macca has reminded me of how it is for other supporters.
He has reminded me today of what is normal.
