Are you worried?

[kipeye]

Am I the only one who worries about Villa more when we are doing well? I don't mean I'm happy in any way when we are doing badly and I post very little at these times as I can't stand whingers. I can't help the ambivalence when we are so good as everyone starts to notice and I'm waiting for them to turn when we have a bad result. I can't explain it but I guess it's PTSD after all these years.

I'm the same. When fans of other teams praise us, I say "it's going well now" and "we're waiting for it to go wrong" to try and cushion the mockery when it goes to shit.

Have at that, psychologists.

[Small Rodent]

Not really. But I've never been one to be hubristic and strut about when we are doing well.

[dave.woodhall]

I'm not worried at all. We're improving all the time.

[LeeB]

I'm worried that I'm not worried anymore. It makes me uncomfortable.

[kippaxvilla2]

I am worried when teams like Bayern continually appoint crap managers and are always linked with ours as a result.  I want to continue being glass half full but our history of the last 40 or so years has lead me to this mindset.

[Sexual Ealing]

I still worry at the start of each game but not any other time.

I'm certainly not worried about someone messaging me with a cry-laughing emoji after 'I see Villa are shit again'. At such a point I think I'll have noticed that too. And I only know a couple of people who might do that anyway, and it wouldn't hurt if they did.

I am of course deeply fearful of the gods.

We are in the best place we have been in since I was a teenager (1982 etc), but I still look at the table and think we are on 17 points, half way to safety!

[Gareth]

I’m certainly not worried but I am still in self-deprecation mode ie still not looking beyond getting to 40 points & believing every game that fans seem confident about will be a huge banana skin.

[DrGonzo]

We're playing great football and as long as that continues I couldn't care less

…… but I still look at the table and think we are on 17 points, half way to safety!

Ha ha, that’s me as well. It must be a regional character trait to have a hangdog, glass half empty outlook to life.

[garyellis]

We as supporters need to make the transition and get used to Villa being an established top football club consistently competing at the highest level. UTV

[Meanwood Villa]

Thinking about it a bit more, I'm not even worried about mockery from other fans, despite what I said before. Yet I do still have a fear of it all falling apart. So what an I worrying about? My future unhappiness? Being a football fan is weird.

[Meanwood Villa]

Or that might just be me!

I don’t worry about fans of other clubs, I worry about ours. I hate it when things start to go wrong and the atmosphere starts to turn. I don’t even want to think about going back there.
