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.
Danny Fox was pretty good earlier this season on CWR, but my blood pressure was through the roof as it was like sitting next to another supporter, and you'd hear him say "Oh God..." when Rob was halfway through a sentence.
Without being able to see the game, I couldn't tell if we'd conceded, given away a penalty or just given the ball away

I just want to see us back in the top flight. I've supported CCFC since 1963. Seen them go up to the old First division under Jimmy Hill and watched most games for 34 years in the top flight until Strachan and co got us relegated! I'm now coming up to 73. Even if we only stay in the Premier League for a season, I don't care! WE GOT THERE! I can die a happy man!
