We have never been in this position before. that's why there is anxiety. When I was growing up there was no internet and we got our news from the CET and Sports Argus or Leicester Mecury, depending where you live. Of course we had conversations about the team and players but not to the extent it is now. I bet the majority of guys (& gals) that can't hack it are guys like me, who had the internet drifting into our lives. My younger family members are cool about it all, they can drift off and not pay much attention, but the SBT crew are one blipp away from the funny farm.
Saying that, I feel rather cool about it all. If we fail and make a drastic nose dive I will still be here next season. Of course it would be hard to show our faces in public but we would get over it. I am enjoying each game as it comes, and NOT looking at the bigger picture because if team A wins all their games they get X number of points, but as we see team A slips up too.
The funny thing i have found, and I have never done it before, but i have visited other team's sites and do you know what, they are the same as us. It's like a clone shop and we are CCFC but Ipswich, Boro, Millwall, all of them have exactly the same characters are us, same conversations and I bet they are the same age.
I don't suffer from anxiety, I did many moons ago, but football I kid myself is not that important, but it is. We have 8 more games, I am not looking beyond this weekend but I am assessing each game and thinking what other teams will do. One thing I do recommend, if you don't do it already, is go on Youtube and watch the blogs of nutcases, very nice nutcases, go over every game. They spend hours of their lives analysing matches and as I commute between Brum and London 3 or 4 days a week the time flies by.
It's really nice to know there are nutcases and anxiety affected dudes in every team, we are not alone.
