For several decades the fortunes of the Sky Blues meant absolutely everything to me – I lived and breathed CCFC. I’ve trained myself in recent years to take a step back, and days like today don’t really bother me too much, which is great because my weekend no longer depends on the performance of a bunch of footballers.
The downside is that the high points are also blunted – I was delighted at last week’s win over Stoke, but not ecstatic for days on end like I would have been in my youmger days.
If you’ve still got that fire in your belly, long may it last, and may the ups outweigh the downs because it’s been the other way around for far too long.
