I feel the same way mate, your your concerns are the same as mine, but I have been through the mill so many times that I have conditioned myself to hope for the best. Why? Because I really cant control what happen's. So sad was I when we lost the cup final in 67, to the Spud's, I even considered supporting another team, glad I didn't and to be honest could never do it. **** me it turned around big time some 5 years later, we were in Europe, beating Real, You Know that **** Spanish team, now managed by. The Special One. Then a few years later, I had to go to Hereford to watch my team play, herded like cattle from the train station to the ground won 2-0, was pleased to bit's no matter what the opposition. Take the good times Bro' and remember the hard one's fondly because fan's will never die. It's hard but it's worth it. For Chelsea F.C. KTBFFH.
Been through it with them since 1968, my first year in the UK.
Starting to think we might be a tad spoiled these days !!!!!!
