Still not entirely sure what rattling is but I've been assured I've been rattled on several key occasions. Always felt about the same so maybe someone's got me permanently rattled. But which clubs are to blame for our rattlings this season and which ones might have turned from rattlers to rattlees?
Arguably the first time we found ourselves enrattled was the away game at Wrex Ham United when they secured a draw against our ten (rattled) men. After failing to beat them by more than a two goal margin, and daring to celebrate that win, the Deadpool fan club were keen to point out how shaken we were. Given they have a new film coming out, it's less clear if they'll see us and be rattled in return. I still don't fully understand why I shouldn't enjoy beating Disney+'s favourite team. Always preferred Netflix me (from a Man City fan).
After that, Blackburn insisted to have become the perpetrators of rattling after a tough league game with a cup match on the horizon. Can't remember all the details, but it involved us heading to a semi-final at Wembley and currently they're sat in pole position for the non-play-off teams runners up trophy. Nice.
Middlesbrough. Definitely rattled us. I think. They said they did. They even sent a spy to infiltrate our camp but he admitted to being a Middlesbrough fan within five posts (which is a big number to count to in Middlesbrough). As Donald Trump once said, "When Middlesbrough sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us.". One of those problems was a loss at the Lane which sent us into a shame spiral of which we never recovered (with the small exception of promotion to the Premier League with games to spare and them never having drawn so much as level with us on points in spite of our being behind in games played till last night). With the play-offs guaranteed, they are four behind third placed Luton, and eight ahead of Coventry, making them without a doubt the most fourth placed team of all time. Success in the play-offs could stabilise them, but after a loss to Luton they must be wobbling if not entirely rattled.
Anyone remember any other teams who used this stupid word for us, a team who's maintained promotion form for a season and a half now?
