It's days like this that make me glad I support the Albion

[Lord Bracknell]

Imagine it being different...

... we might be a club that regularly sacked its managers because they were rubbish. We would be mid-table mediocrities season after season, forever dreaming of ...er... maybe making the play-offs one year. We would be playing in front of crowds of 3,500, with special "Kids for a Pound" days from time to time. Peter Ward would be a hero because he was the last Albion player to get into double figures in a season. And even grown men would be admitting that they'd never seen an Albion hero who came anywhere close to matching him. And we'd think that reaching the quarter-final of the LDV trophy was an exciting achievement.

But it's not like that.

This is the Club that knows what the gutter feels like. But always dreams of the stars. It consumes us with passion. It hurts when things go wrong - not because they won't go right again, but because we want it right NOW.

And we know that it will be right again SOON.

Let last Tuesday tell the whole story.

We got angry when we gave away a penalty, but we walked away 3-1 winners.

Marvellous scenes. We'll see more of them.

The gutter and the stars isn't that a Fat boy Slim CD

(Afternoon all.)

Shit happens. We move on. They players will carry on regardless. They resurrected Passenger Taylor's career; if the worst happens, they'll do it again for some other very lucky manager.

The thing that gets me is Madeski's prolonged whinging. Thought then that this might preclude such an honourable man from starting a shopping list of other clubs' managers, but the cynic in me suspected otherwise. Didn't see this one coming though ...

Lord B has hit the nail fairly and squarely on the head

Well said and hear hear

 

[Soton Seagull]

I agree with the sentiment, but am too annoyed by the actuality at present. (Sulking!)

At this current time I would swap it all for a new ground and a decade of mediocrity.
