[Misc] How Are You Dealing With Another Defeat ?

[vagabond]

Counting my winnings after betting on a Leicester win, when we were 1-0 up, and a late goal bet placed 30 seconds before they scored.


Bad fan.

Not a bad fan, an observant one.

Having a manager who is devoid of any passion about he game, who appears to miss the reason for the very existence of the reason for the game I am extremely unhappy. **** sake man show some thing even a wistful sigh. He is made of the remains of the spitting image puppet of John Major.

I'm not sure some of these ex-players and now managers understand the passion supporters have, those that followed their team right through their lives actually understand the reason for their passion. He is lifeless, he might as well be talking about resurfacing the road outside my drive for the passion he shows. He ****ing winds me up.

A bit dazed to be honest. And wondering whether I'd prefer we were a bunch of ugly hoof ball merchants floating around mid table.

Those of us of certain age will remember the Dutch side of 1974 who will forever be the best side to not win a world cup final. We could end up behold the most attractive side to get relegated from the premier league!

Brazil '82 were my favourite losers.

 

[Weststander]

Pissed off with the whole crack at the EPL - 9 transfer windows and our first 11/squad is still relegation fodder, countless losses, very rare wins. Exemplified by that second 45 and final score. Outplayed, outfought, outpaced, deja vu ... EPL survival hopes on a knife edge.

If we somehow stay up, I think Bloom will make changes, so this is not repeated for a 5th season.

Do you disagree?

I would've expected slightly more disappointment in blowing another 3 points at home than the frustration felt at running out of milk.

But Potter's clearly a master of understatement.

And his Master's degree in Leadership and Emotional Intelligence is obviously coming in handy as a Premier League manager.

Well the yelling and screaming and crying some people are asking does not give 3 points so I'm not quite sure why people obsess about it.

He is in control of his emotions, especially in front of the hyenas in media. Call me old school but I think thats how grown men and leaders should behave.

well said. If he cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted a bit more would it eke out an extra 5-10% from the players? I doubt it

 

[Nibbler]

I can't get angry any more. It's pure frustration and a bit of sadness/upset that if we go down, then
I'll have a long time to reflect on chance after chance after chance messed up and missed opportunity after missed opportunity
bolloc*sed up to sort ourselves out.

Right now, I don't believe that I can mentally take a step backwards to the Championship.
That would be the end of the supporting line for me after 24 years. Call me a bad fan and all that (and you're right), but the
constant "if only" and "what might have been" would haunt me too much.

I am pretty down about this season too. But I think another exciting promotion race in the champ will re-kindle our sprits.

We are Albion supporters so you know you have to suck up the pain. The victories will taste that much sweeter when they come. It must be a bit boring supporting Man City.

Enough of the hyperbole already. No-one's asking for yelling, screaming and crying on here. And yes, it's good to be in control of one's emotions.

But some are not-unreasonably expecting more here than he's offered. And a phlegmatic, unemotional approach isn't needed or appreciated now.

We've lost another game from a winning position. Another 3 points dropped. Another failure.

Grown men and leaders will do what is necessary to correct continued failure, even at the expense of change and potential loss of face.

This even includes falling on one's sword here, albeit a metaphorical and managerial one. If it's not working, it's not working.

I've always been Potter-in since GP arrived and remain so, for now at least. It was a refreshing change from what we had before.

But no manager should ever have carte blanche when footballing philosophy is measured against hard results and found wanting.

 

[DavePage]

I’m still trying to work out the Alzate sub

a bit like a spiced ham sub with less spice I guess

 

[Machi]

Extremely sad...again. Before every game I keep hope that THIS TIME we will finally deliver result. Not only xG, not just a good performance but more than one goal and points. Every single time disappointment is bigger. At this point it's a first time this season I don't even want to watch highlights or MOTM. I always believed in Potter but now I don't know what to think anymore. I can't understand why Jahanbakhsh is getting chances, why so many players are constantly playing out of their positions or keep playing and failing so often. What was the point of bringing back Tau (not Premier League level at all). Same squad every week. No risk at all even if there are clear fatigue symptoms (Bissouma, MacAllister, Gross). Youngsters almost don't have any chances to show up in PL. Moder, Zequiri, Karbownik and Caicedo are melody of the future although I think at least Moder should get more chances as he is decent player already. Playing Alzate LWB ? Everyone see he completely doesn't "feel" this position and he is completely lost there. Why not to give a chance to Karbownik?

Very frustrated at the moment. I really hope we will avoid relegation, get rid of not necessary players who are earning crazy money (Alireza, Welbeck, Propper, Andone) buy a natural target man striker (Maupay is the best as a deep forward) and really learn from mistakes and have much better next season

we are just dumb ....i'm not sure there is a prem footballing brain in the set up let alone on the pitch ......money for old rope , tedious , last 5 minutes again :

 

[OSRGull]

I’m on my 3rd bottle of wine, going strong. Saw a video yesterday of Bridcutt talking to Fenners with Craig Noone walking on the set singing mysterious girl. When we didn’t have this expectation of doing so well.

It’s 3.something I’ve not been drinking...

But I’ve just woke up stilled pissed off....

Jebus help...

 

[*Gullsworth*]

I got up early to take the dog for a wazz. Still hugely disappointed. Really thought we could at least draw with Leicester but knew anything but a win and everyone's nerves are jangling and spouting we are certainly going down. We knew it was going to be like this ....it always is, why do we love our club so much?

 

[bluenitsuj]

I just shrug my soldiers and get on with my life. It is what it is

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Just opening a second bottle of Staropramen. I didn’t expect anything from this game and I’m frustrated that we lost, but nowhere as pissed of as I was after Palace and West Brom.

This. I couldn’t sleep after Palace, and West Brom was just farcical with the free kick and two missed pens. Last night was annoying and we should at least have drawn, but Leicester are at least a decent team.

 

[rebel51]

The more this has gone on the more philosophical I've become, don't let the ******** grind you down.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Watched the Bruno / Tyson documentary afterwards and took comfort that there are sports professionals in this world willing to fight
