Football should be about stress and pressure. You support teams for these sort of games.

Big crowds and a tense atmosphere. Highs and lows are far better than mediocrity.

Totally agree.
I love taking the missus up the Butts on a Saturday afternoon when there's no football on.

Nice drink, decent level sport, and nothing riding on the result.

The CBS however...

59. On Saturday we were row E, so quite near the pitch. I found myself being quite aggressive towards their players, doing the wanker sign and stuff.

Outside the ground this Luton supporter said something like "up the Hatters. Saw you crying at Wembley". I told him to fuck off. Most unlike me. Being so close to the pitch turned me into an animal!

I’m going to my 46th league game this season hopefully I’m 67 and I’m like that every away game

I'm fast approaching 72. (My missus is 75 with alzheimers). I'm her full time carer, so can never get to games. Also, living in Malvern doesn't help! Anyway, I've survived four, yes FOUR heart attacks, had a double bypass and had 5 stents inserted over the last 20 years, but I still watch CCFC when they're on Sky or listen in to the CWR commentary. I wear my City top with pride, (both home and away tops). I've even convinced a great neighbour of mine (who is a Man Utd nut!), to follow our progress! He now loves the City as his 2nd team!
My first game at HR was in 1964. That got me hooked! I've since been a steward at Highfield Rd and seen some great games over the decades.
While at BBC CWR, I got to interview Gordon Strachan and also had a good bollocking off Ron Atkinson!
Do I think we'll make the play offs and Premier League footie next season? I can only hope so. 34 years in the top flight was an amazing achievement. I'm no longer in the best of health, and pray I outlive my missus. (She'd never survive on her own). As for reaching the Premier League, that would be the dream! I could die a happy old man! Lots of love to you all!

I'm not that old but do notice my heart rate going up drastically if I'm watching or listening. Given how may medical incidents there seem to be these days I have started wondering whether there'll be a time when it's going to be best to not do it for my health and just check scores afterwards.

And this is despite me knowing it's just a game and it's not the end of the world. But I'm already feeling anxious and nervous about next weekend.

EIGHT BLOODY ONE!

(You'd need to have read or seen Ripping Yarns to get the relevance. Always makes me smile when I visualise Barnstoneworth United getting another pasting).

🤣🤣🤣
It would be lovely to give them a thumping, and just relax and enjoy the game.
