We still need 13 points to avoid relegation. I don't know where we are going to get those from. I'm worried.
I quite like (well very much like) this winning of games things and I'm worried that my expectations have been raised and whether we can continue this run. (but enjoying every moment of it)
I'm worried that some posters are not paying attention as we were again relegated to a lower division.
Villajk I am with you, we are all being led down the we are great street and over confidence can lead you to let down Boulevard.
We had everything going for us at Blackburn but this week we come up against a class side, i'm hoping for the best but fearing the worst.
I agree Robbo. Secretly I am dreading the game this weekend, as it is on live at a reasonable time over here in NZ (6am). I know I will get up to watch it but I just hope we live up to our changed expectation of getting a result.
I liked it more when I didn't expect to get anything out of games like this Saturday. ](*,)
That was the problem I endured when we were going for the title in 89/90. More than 92/93. We should have won the league in 89-90 but then blew it. We expected wins and to be able to grab the title in unsurpassed. So, to face up to deflated defeats/draws was awful. When you're used to losing another one just gets a disappointed shrug of the shoulders. But when you get close to something...Such as that day in 2000...I'm refusuing to get carried away because after Saturday we could all be back to saying Petrov is shit, Gabby is looking tired, Carew is a carthorse, Zat Knight is shit, and Mellberg is way past his best and is more likely to play for Jew Hate Us than Jooventus.
I promised myself I wouldn't post on the Worrieds anymore, but it's no good, I am worried we are all believing our own publicity, and are due a fall on Saturday.
I agree VillaVa. Lets hope were both wrong though..
Which leads me to a dilema. Do I set the alarm and wake up at 4.30 am and watch it live or do i record. The problem with recording is that there is a temptation to look for the result first but then if we lose i won't want to watch.
I'm worried that ROBBO is really considering not watching the match.

Didn't realise Cairns was an hour behind! So, its 12.45 am. The bar at the hotel as just closed. No-one around and no footie on the hotel teely in the room. So, do I just stay here and get bitten by mozzies? Try the old 2 hour sleep trick? Or just go to bed?
Well i did go to bed and record but i couldn't get to sleep worrying, finally dropped of but woke after 3 hours and just had to watch it.
Just as i thought it would finish and in the long run it may be for the better, if we had won then the expectations would be far ahead of our talent as it is MON will have seen our weaknesses against a bloody good side.
For what it's worth Gabby needs a rest, Gardner is not ready and the little fella is not up to the premiership. We have a good nucleous but really need more quality.
i'll be in NZ somewhere next saturday JD, what time is the Villa game on and what channel? Do any NZ channels have it on?
