I wish I did feel that way.
I had that resigned feeling when we got relegated, even though we were losing and drawing every game. I sort of cheered myself up with the notion that relegation would be the shock treatment we needed and we could wipe the slate clean, start over again, piss the league and build a strong Championship side.
Safe to say it didn't work out like that.
All I feel at matches now is a burning anger at these lazy, feckless playboys stealing a good wage for playing shit and not giving one.
I have nothing but contempt for them I'm sorry to say.
I never used to be the negative type and always gave the managers, players and board far more leniency than they probably deserved in the past, but something snapped in the second half of last season after too many capitulations to crap teams who weren't even trying particularly hard to win, just harder than us.
The problem is I've got a season ticket and I'll be damned if I pay £380 and not make full use of it, however miserable it makes me.
The away games are getting scaled back though. Wigan on Boxing Day for the piss-up, Southend and Blackpool if we get them on a weekend. But the football won't be the main part of those trips.
In the meantime, these arseholes need to be told in no uncertain terms that this is bang out of order.
