I kind of agree with the OP, and in fairness was probably as guilty as any of have stuffing knocked out of them when Zaha opened the scoring. It's not too much of a surprise as for pretty much most of this season (our highest finish for decades FFS!) our fan base has done nothing but get itself worked up into frenzy about absolutely everything. Running out of pies is a DISGRACE, having to queue for 30minutes to get away from the ground is a DISGRACE, the atmosphere is a DISGRACE, the fans who haven't been watching as long as me are a DISGRACE, players are a DISGRACE one week and HEROES the next, the manager is DISGRACE, and so on and so forth.
Sum up the some of the fanbase in three words this season for me it is MOAN, MOAN, MOAN. I realise that is not everyone but the mixture of negativity, and entitlement to success has been quite infuriating this season when there has been so much to enjoy. In two years we have gone from being a League One side to an established top half of the Championship with genuine aspirations of promotion to the Premiership. We get the pleasure of going to the best ground in the division by a country mile every other week, we get proper beer, decent pies and a comfy seat. All that and some of the most skilful players seen at the Albion in a very long time indeed. The team still has some growing to do, both technically and mentally, but we have had our first taste of the big time and I'm sure it won't be our last.
