Opposite for me. When City win I’m just relieved they haven’t lost. Bad mental health has distorted the ups and downs massively.

We can be playing, say, Bournemouth at home, and I’ll catastrophise all day, chuck a load of money on them and only really enjoy it once we’re three up.

The losses I do find easier to take the older I get. As a kid I’d have a paddy and go to bed. In my teens and twenties I’d have a few pints and forget about it. Now I can clock off, but I’m still in a quiet sulk.

Only time I really get that serotonin rush is when we beat a really good side, or United. That sort of chest out, air in the nostrils, taxi into town swagger, yeah, love that.

Yeah it’s part of the day when you go. Watching it in the house like at the minute it’s the only thing happening all day and the highlight of the week

nah. watching depor the moment they cacked themselves against Mallorca in the 2nd leg of the playoff final last season to the moment they got relegated this season has been uniformly terrible and has made me very sad. something truly catastrophic and unexpected like that is difficult to shake off.

update on the segunda final match scandal: 4 or 5 clubs including depor and numancia who got relegated are demanding that the league be expanded to 24 teams next season as Depor weren’t able to play their final match at the same time as everyone else (and still haven’t played).

meanwhile, Fuenlabrada, the team that broke numerous protocols in travelling to a coruña with infected and suspected infected players now have 13 players and staff infected, are quarantined in a hotel in a coruña and one of them has been hospitalized. worth noting that Javier Tebas’ son is Fuenla’s club secretary.

absolute shit show.

Nigel Quashie was just described as ‘the former West Brom and Wolves star’ on the local news.

Literally had no recollection of him ever playing for us. Apparently made 3 appearances on loan in 2009 :man_shrugging:

Think the word “local” was quite important there

Used to get very down about bad results as a kid (temper tantrum stuff), but this is very much how I am now. Best feeling in the world when it goes well, and when not I can just rationalise it as something to enjoy the process of, and not winning means there’s more new/rarer experiences of joy to look forward to in the future.

@anon67149139 @jont2001 In incredibly random Wigan news, in a pub in Hebden Bridge last weekend my mum met the mum of Tony Black. Remember him? (Maybe!)

realised I actually have this displayed in my room which is mental given that a year later I got kicked out of the team for a) being shit and b) always playing music on match day :smile:

Aw loads of my cousins played for BWD (all based in Waltham Chase)

I think we sold him just before we won Div 3, pretty sure I’ve got his signature on a programme from us playing Mansfield or Chesterfield or someone else equally shit at Springfield Park (0-0).

Shame for Atalanta. Had to win tonight but knew they wouldn’t. Just give it to Juve and put us all out of our misery.

Mine would be DiS Footy Newcomer of the Year Runner Up 2017.

I’ve still got the winner’s trophy for it though, as my pal Pete who was actually good never bothered turning up to the awards do, and wasn’t arsed enough to pick it up off me afterwards either.
