i get ya I just feel we’re in a bit of a fade position really as I expect an to have blew the league away if he was in charge a few games more never mind a full season.

we’ve got a great manager and a great set of young up and coming players with more to come imo so we’ll excited

Agree with this mate. You can look at the fact we finished 5th but without the ****e patch in the middle that team would have got automatic, imo with AN in charge for the whole season it would have won the title with time to spare.

I think the fact we are building a team of young hungry players means its too hard to call if we are going to be looking over our shoulders at the relegation spots or pushing for promotion. Chuck AN who seems different to what we have had so far and no one could blame our fans for being optimistic.

I don't know what it is but after following the lads for 60 yrs, 30 yrs a season ticket holder I just can't get excited about this coming season. I have not even watched a friendly yet.
The only thing I can put down to is the time in the 3rd division has sucked the enthusiasm out of me.

I feel the same way, mate. Although I did watch the friendly against ? , the one after the one in Portugal, and kept nodding off. I’m hoping that when the season proper gets under way that I’ll get some interest back.

The thing is, football is totally pointless.

If it stopped tomorrow, forever, life would just carry on as normal.

If you arrive at a point, in your life, when that thought becomes predominant then there may be no going back.

Old age and imminent death, Covid, climate change, NHS breakdown, cost of living/dying can suddenly seem much more important than footie ...

... in my case I've always considered going to the match as a diversion from real life, not part of it.

It's a day out driving to somewhere I'd never otherwise visit, meeting up with mates I'd never see otherwise and singing out loud in public.

If those three things no longer apply I can see your dilemma ...

I agree mate. At my age I’ve reached the stage where I no longer look forward but take one day at a time. I still watch Sunderland regularly via stream and other matches if they have a particular interest to me, but it is something I do automatically; like washing and brushing my teeth. Im hoping that my enthusiasm will rekindle when the serious stuff starts. I think a dropping off of enjoyment is in a large part due to watching on a screen and not experiencing the atmosphere the supporters generate. Another factor is that I can’t appreciate the finer points of a game because I don’t understand modern football. I started watching when it was a simple game and success depended solely on players skill, and tactics and formations were never mentioned.
