When I woke on Friday I was positive, I had it in my mind that we were going to beat Reading and be 9 points clear of West ham who I thought might falter against Brighton. I even booked tickets for Peterborough as I didn't want to miss out on the promotion celebrations. What could possibly go wrong I asked myself, as we had a great goal difference, 6 points clear of a faltering West Ham. I will tell you what went wrong and these are all true!!!! We played well in parts but we lost. West Ham spanked Brighton. So they are only 3 points behind us with what looks like an easier run in, as I was hoping Leicester would have something to play for. Our goal difference is almost non-existent. The lads nerves must be pretty frayed, mine are, and to cap it all, i needed to replace my windscreen £400 down the pan, my girlfriend's puppy died and a relative was announced critically ill and not expected to recover. This has all happened since I woke up yesterday. What else can go wrong??? Please could someone help me recover from my pit of depression and cheer me up!!!!! Or give me a puppy so that I can cheer up my girlfriend.
Too true! Just hope thats what they do. Both away games won't be a walk in the park, but I expect to draw M'borough and beat P'borough. It would be nice to face Coventry like we did Walsall last year when it was a near certainty we would win and go up rather than we having to beat Coventry by 3 goals and WHU have to not win
Sorry to hear about your relative. After a weekend like that, things can only get better....I hope so anyway.
To the OP, you could still be celebrating virtual promotion on Tuesday if we spank Posh and Bristol City beat West Ham. At this stage every game has an exaggerated effect on how the table looks (and how us fans feel). After Tuesday we could be back to 6 points clear with a better GD and only 6 points left to play for!
Hi, hopefully posting and sharing your sorrows has helped you a bit. Don't link football with what is happening in your life they are both independent variables. As others have said life is not black and white and you need to remember all the good times while you're in a trough. Remain positive and if you need some up-lifting reading may I suggest The Alchemist or Veronika Decides to Die by Paolo Coelho.
