Should we stop being so happy when we win as well?

Its more than a game for football fans. For those who are more interested in foreign politicians then yes, it's just a game.

No. Because happiness isn't unhealthy.

This is one of the areas in live where it's OK to be a hypocrite. Celebrate the wins like they are important, but remember that it's really not all that important when we lose.

I’ve no problem with people getting angry, or frustrated, it shows that we still care.

Of course, some fans go OTT, but it’s far more of a concern if we become apathetic, which I have no doubt should the current malaise continue for much longer, may well be the case.

Today is a sad day. Truly a sad day.


As for the first time in my life I find my myself in agreement with. IT.

It's possible to not be angry and also not apathetic.

Anger is an Energy. Hate can be just as good a motivation as Love.

How's my mate Trumpy going on at the moment Turtle? You've been a bit quiet on him recently.

TBH at the moment if I didn't meet up with friends and family for a few beers before and a curry and a few beers after the game I think I might start picking my matches. This style of football coupled with greedy players and over exposed and stupid kick off times etc is sucking the life out of football.
