Cheer me up
« on: May 31, 2015, 02:22:08 AM »
I'm utterly fucking devastated. Can anyone think of any reasons to be cheerful?

Best I can come up with is that we didn't go down but with Benteke likely to leave I reckon relegation is more likely than winning a proper trophy. Plus the mooted takeover by a consortium that can't actually afford to buy us, and therefore wants, presumably, to saddle us with debts, fills me with dread.

If possible, someone, cheer me up. Please?

I am grasping for some hope as well. A couple of crumbs I cling to.

1.) Our manager is pretty open (arguably too open) about our problems. Thats a relief that the guy who is most important sees our crisis as well.

2.) We have some decent players who are committed to the club. Players like Delph & Grealish don't become bad after 3 games.

As for the rest, well its just awful isn't it? We came bottom of the survivors in the league. We can't dodge that. Last summer we spent a pittance on a rag tag band of hit & miss has beens or never beens. Some have done alright most haven't. Our trajectory has been downward for years and the last three games have been very sobering, causing me to take stock and realise where we are. It aint pretty.

I cooked a fantastic dinner tonight, immediately after the game. You'd have loved it. Next time, I'll invite you.

Another positive; met some brilliant Villa fans today. I'm so proud to support a team that attracts so many wonderful people.

There's no football to ruin your weekends for the next 10 weeks.

Cheered me up no end that has.

The disappointment really hit me after midnight. The complete lack of any performance. But I couldn't put my finger on what we could have done differently - Arsenal just outclassed us. Which is a shame as they haven't performed at Wembley until today.

Just imagine if we'd been humiliated today by Reading.
Thankfully Arsenal got lucky and beat them in the semi-final.

Why, do you think we could enter the Scottish Cup?

Judging by the crowd yesterday we have some fit female supporters.
