The nerves are back... AND I LOVE IT!!!

Back in our premier league days I airways got the nervous pit in my stomach. Really unpleasant feeling on a match day which never subsided until kick off!

Been gone now for quite a few years. With the seemingly never ending decline of our club it just dwindled and each game was simply just another game of football to go to. Now don’t get me wrong, I still loved the match day experience, arguing with my Dad about this or that player etc. But I had no nerves before the games and the mid game , almost inevitable disappointment was all I got!!

Well It’s back!! The last few weeks have absolutely been exactly like it used to be. That nervous feeling and, sorry to be graphic, but seemingly needing to go to the loo every hour leading up to kick off!!!

Love it! Long may it continue

 

Totally feel this mate!

Not nerves for me as such, but the buzz, the excitement for sure.

Been a real struggle for 18 months everything just feels new again.

Long May we rise.

 

Maybe this night help calm the nerves quicker, I know it's a bit early but you never know

 

Absolutely tremendous hhhhaaawwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyy the lads

 

Brilliant that ! The hairs on the back of my neck...... think I got a little something in my eye at one point too

 

I'm nervous about tonight. Not in a I think we'll lose way, just hopeful of another good performance.

 

It does take you back to better times with the nerves in the pit of your stomach kicking in and the hairs on the back of your neck standing up - LOVE IT!!!

 

These days will come back mate. The new owners just ooze power, money, wealth, business prowess, and class imo

 

I totally agree. The whole atmosphere around the club feels different. Fans are optimistic, players are confident, some teams look beaten before the game kicks off. I can't wait for the next game as soon as one has just finished and long may it continue

 

Class that....
Hairs on end & goosepimples.
Tremendous stuff.

 

Haven't felt like this since the Charlton game at the start of our first League One season. Don't think I was even this nervous for the playoff final - more excited for the day out. Which sounds / seems ridiculous and is probably wrong, but is an indication of how nervous I am today.

Most of the teams around us play twice before we play again in the league - so this is huge to maintain momentum and put the pressure on them.

 

That Charlton game was a bit special in its way. I think we all expected to walk into a desolate deserted stadium, but we didn’t.

Ill never get how Gooch wasn’t stopped, he’s 2ft 1 they ****ed it ha

 

Not in doubt, as far as I'm concerned. Good times are coming back, and a team great enough to match the fans.

 

Huzzah

 

I was right in line when he hit this, new it was going in and the noise when it hit the back of the net was unbelievable

 

.... really nice sentimental memores Marcus....And, can I just highlight your mention of you arguing with your dad "about this and that" ...

Way back, sometimes I fell out with my family, and mates during match day craic,...but now, when I think back, I understand it was the passion that was the catalyst.....ain't life sweet when even the bad stuff comes back into our heads to remind us of stuff..

 

I always did wonder how far Carlos would have gone without that injury at the wrong time.

He was never the same, had he kept momentum, he was a danger wasn’t he. Cracking signing by Roy that, nobody had heard of him.

 

First game in a long time I have the anxiety. It's because they've built or hopes up last several games and this is usually the sternest test. Never thought I'd miss this feeling!

 

My brother has walked out of my parents house mid match due to arguing with me! Also seen him start arguing with something I say, then immediately change his mind when my Dad agreed! Crazy the way football affects people

 

pleased i am not alone like...get this week out of the way and bleeze the rest of it...
