You have to enjoy these times. It's going to get twitchier and twitchier as the games go by but this is what you want.
Enjoying the games, become increasingly more stressed with every that passes after the last game. Rinse and repeat until the end of the season.
For the Majority of us its a new experience, during October/November time even when we went t a goal down I knew we would win.
I have flipped between all the options this season but I'm back in the relaxed camp for a bit

I enjoy the match days and the winning feeling. But as soon as that passes, I start to look at other teams. watch their games etc. That stresses me out. I currently can't think of much else to be honest.
A mixture of enjoying it and stressed.
It's a great experience to be battling it our for a prize and not one I've experienced often watching City.

Absolutely fucking loving it since Onyeka's arrival, although like everyone I was pretty damned stressed between November and February
Too stressed because of the importance of it to enjoy it properly. Which is silly I know.
As someone who has never seen us above the Championship I am finding it very stressful.
Would help if we could just pump someone 3-0. The squeaky bum time at the end of games is excruciating.
This is where I am at. It is a monumental period in our modern history.
Absolutely enjoying it. I don't think it will realistically get much better than this for us.
I was lucky enough to enjoy about 15 years of us in the Premier League. Hopefully you will get your chance too!
Other than goals and moments of high skill, I only ever enjoy football in retrospect.
We have to be at least four goals up with no more than 15 minutes to play for me to genuinely relax and start enjoying a game.
In fact, whilst I look forward to and am excited by the prospect of games, I actively dislike most of the process of actually experiencing a game of football that I am emotionally engaged with.
With this season, it's the hope that kills you. After the Norwich game, I kind of reconciled myself to the idea that we were going to blow it and relaxed; now we've sodding gone and won a load of games and I'm tense again.

Loving it but also stressed, I wish we could play every two days now, this is massive for us all and the history of the club and the fans. I am so desperate for us to get it over the line.
Exactly this. Loving it after the win on Saturday then a strange sense of deflation watching bits of Boro and then Ipswich over the last two nights.
But consoling myself with the thought that they must have been gutted with our own injury time winner.
I try never to let football ruin the football but this season is going close . Very stressful but loving it at the same time.
More stress = more happiness/relief when we do it.
Half want it over with, half realise this is as good as it gets until we’re Champions League or back down here with a silly squad pissing the league.

It will come as no surprise that I’ve been relaxed at worst since about September. Thank you Opta 🩵
absolutely loving it, just want it to be the game that if we win it we’re up hopefully with a couple of games to spare
It's a shame we can't have 2 votes, loving it and stressed. To be honest I'm fairly calm now but I had a horrible 9 days between Oxford and Boro.
Yep I was fully supporting them since 1964/65 so I enjoyed all the L1/Premier league years
Absolutely loving it.
Would have settled for a place in the playoffs before the season started even though I thought we would have a good season. Whatever happens now we will be in the playoffs at least.
Stressful to me is being around the edge of the playoffs and hoping for the best and looking at the results for about 6 other clubs that are after the same place in the table.

I’m more concerned if we go up. VAR/Play acting. Points tally and the general atmosphere if we have a dip in form…
Really enjoying it, but I can’t see Ipswich and Boro dropping many points (except to each other) and that’s stressing me out.
I think people really need to try and enjoy the current circumstances.
We (and many other teams, Leicester for example) are well aware how quickly things can turn for the worse.
We are competing at a decent level, as a "proper" club again, however the rest of the season pans out.
And its highly likely that the current journey is going to be far better than the actual destination (getting spanked every week in the Premier League)

Still confident we'll achieve promotion, but getting less and less relaxed as the games are going by, as well as becoming more fixated with how our rivals are getting on
I watched the extra time in the Bristol City v Port Vale match last night and you may get your wish this weekend. They were abysmal.
