It's getting dark around Hillsborough again....
Right…we seem to have taken a step back this last week or two…a step back to dark and murky times…
This feelgood factor around the club didn’t last long did it?
We get a pasting a couple of times and that's it is it?
We have arguments about contracts and who should and who shouldn't play and that's ya lot is it?
I know, I know….we’ve had plenty to moan about, on AND off the pitch…but ya know what?
This is footy….We’re footy fans…we’re WEDNESDAY fans.
Bollox to it all.
I go to football to get away from myther…change from the humdrum stuff that goes on the rest of the time…a chance to unwind…I fully intend to do that tomorrow at Bristol.
I know the defence is in disarray and the current captain aint playing well, the previous captain has tummelled out with the club, the manager stirs things up on the radio and the chairman has said stuff online that’s irritated a load of fans…
I know I got angry because Purse and Laws didn’t acknowledge the fans…I know I keep missing huge parts of games and it’s costing me a fookin fortune and YES, YES, I FOOKIN KNOW I’m shit at finding my way to places…
I say it again….
Bollox to it all!
This is a massive game now….we need to end this slump…we need to shake ourselves out of this shitty aura that’s surrounding us.
I fully intend to go to bed tonight giddy as fook…I KNOW…It’s not a glamour tie and there’s nowt special hanging on the result, but there is for me…I want to see if I can still squeeze out enjoyment from an away day following my team in the middle of this slump…Whether I can fully get behind them and show them the commitment they seem hell bent on NOT showing me.
I will be giddy….my stomach’s turning now thinking about it…I’ll get up fully refreshed and raring to go…I’ll go through all my ‘good luck’ rituals…including them that haven’t worked for the last few decades…I’ll leave the house clean, smooth and smelling like whores handbag. I’ll be full of it on the way down.
Me and the young un will get the music on and we’ll sing all the way…we’ll probably argue as well…we usually do….and I’ll probably lose…I usually do…but I’ll enjoy that too…I always do.
I’ll look forward to missing out on a pint with everyone because I’ve set off too late again…
I’ll look forward to missing kick off again for the same reason….
I’ll look forward to explaining what happened to anyone that’ll listen, and them that won’t and I’ll look forward to hearing them tell me ‘You don’t wanna do thaaaat…That’s a schoolboy error tharris’
Of course I expect us to win…I ALWAYS do…I don’t care if Bristol have the best home record since the Romans…I don’t give a monkeys chuff that we can’t defend to save our lives and for some reason all of a sudden we can’t find the net after a bazillion shots at it…
Bollox to it.
Bristol City away is a TWAT day….Total Wednesday Adulation Time.
Fook the myther…It’s TWAT all the way.
I expect us to win and I expect us to score loads, I can almost picture the goals, the goalmouth clearances, the tackles…
I WILL get behind the team and I will support whichever team Laws puts out there and I’ll probably join in with any ‘Brian, Brian give us a wave’ chant….and cheer when he does….
That’s what we do intit?
As footy fans we myther like fook for a week and then when the next game comes around we’re back on side…
So let’s stop mythering now…let’s get back on track…and let’s fookin get behind the bastards…we know they don’t deserve it, but they never do…but let’s do it anyway…
Because we can, AND because we’re Wednesday.
Bollox to all the other shit…I’ve had enough of it.
T W A T!
