Unai has transformed the club and has also been working hard on changing the mindset of the supporters. He knows the importance of a 12th man and the positivity they can bring to the team.

It worked with me. I do not worry any more.

The squad, work ethic and the knowledge that Unai has about 10 contingency plans in place for all eventualities gives me confidence.

I worry that we’ll be playing all this great football and getting great results etc but not winning any silverware.

Yes, we need a trophy. However, remaining in a CL spot is more important than winning any of the domestic cups to the future prospects of the club. So, win a trophy, yes, that would be brilliant but CL spot as well would be utterly fantastic. Would anyone take 8th and win the League Cup?

I probably would. I'd definitely take 8th and FA Cup.

Obviously, I want The Quadruple, but I reckon I'd feel so much more relaxed if we'd won a trophy since John Major was Prime Minister and only twats owned mobile phones.

The only worry I have is that Carlos' much improved form is a false dawn.  I shouldn't feel that way as he's showed himself very capable of late but I do keep getting flashbacks of Ipswich and I start shuddering.

No. Time for the worried thread was during the 2010s when our reps based in Wellington, Islamabad and other far-flung places would fill a thread with hundreds of pages in the wee hours, while the rest of us, "in the west" were having nightmares about Ashley Westwood becoming the new Mark Kin-se-lla, complete with pointing finger and wondering could life ever be joyful under Messrs McLeish, Lambert, Garde et al.

I certainly get more tense during matches when we're doing well, as i'm thinking of what could be and i don't want it to slip. I also get more hysterical when things go a bit tits up, like one or two of the home games when we went 2-0 down back around January time. I also get more pissed off when we get bad injuries to good players during these periods. If we're a bit 9th - 16th i don't really get too arsed about it all, although still enjoy watching the games, if anything enjoy watching the games more as i'm less tense. But the wins are more enjoyable when your on a run and it's not just another 3 points to safety or respectability.

I have found that it doesn't matter anymore as to which underpants  I wear and the shirt and where I park my car and how I walk to the ground etc etc etc. What matters is that better teams  win more than they lose. I feel liberated from all the irrational monkeys on my shoulders and it never worked anyway.
