Crying over the Villa

[pauliewalnuts]

There will be no need for tears this time.

I really mean this, too, but the fact that we have looked dead and buried and actually getting worse for months now means the club have inflicted, at least in this sense, an "easy" relegation on us - no last day trauma, no bad luck, no freak result killing us off.

They killed us off in January. Anyone who doesn't make use of that four months warning is a moron.

I didn't cry as such, but when the rallying roar went around Wembley in the second half of last year's semi final, it was quite emotional.

[Dave P]

I definitely had tears in my ears after Dion scored that penalty in 2000.

Me too!

[Jean Quereue-Quereue]

The last time I cried about life's distractions was after hearing the Bootleg Beatles play Hey Jude the day after doing too many naughty things at Glastonbury.  Even if I was equally Merse-like on matematically-sure day I wouldn't blub as we've had more than enough preparation for the fateful day.

Yep, I bet Blues and Albion fans are secretly gutted too. There's few things funnier than seeing either of those succumb to last day drama and tumble back from whence they came. Their lot don't get that joy with us though - it's been death by a thousand cuts.

I felt like crying during the FA Cup final 2015...

It'll actually feel like a blessed relief when we go down. They'll be no tears from me, but there might be if we don't bounce straight back up next season.

I agree.  I will be upset and angry, but there will also be an element of almost relief in there as well.

As for crying, never cried because of what has happened on the pitch, but was another one who welled up during Abide With Me at the Cup Final last season thinking of people no longer with us who would have loved to be there.

I can't wait for next season.

 We've won 22 home games in the last 5 years. Having a season ticket over that time has been fucking crap. I'm looking forward to actually going to the match wondering whether we'll win rather than knowing we won't.

Never cried at a game but I sobbed for a long time on the night of 3/3/03 when a middle aged man died of a heart attack in my arms in Aston Park.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I know I have in the past. Not done it for a while. A defeat used to piss me off for a week. Now it's a few minutes

[Phil from the upper holte]

None of those fuckers are worth getting upset over. Not one

Someone seemed to have collapsed on the hill up to Aston Pwrk after the game today, was being attended to by paramedics, anyone know what happened?

[appyarryampton]

A tear definitely rolled down my cheek during 'Abide with me' at Wembley.
I now know I was not the only one!

[Lizz]

I cried at the last home game of the season 3 years ago, against Chelsea. That was more to do with Stilyan Petrov and personal family shit than anything else.
