Used to totally ruin my weekend if we lost when I was younger

but then life was s**t back then and I had f**k all else to focus on.

These days, I get roight het up during games, but I calm down straight away afterwards.

Agree with Brandy that when we were mid table or worse for years, and the quality of football was awful, we used to just turn up, sit there and have a chat about stuff. The game was incidental.

The fact that there's something to play for again raises the stakes a bit and I'm desperate to win again because I always believe we can.

Not sure what happens if we go up. That's kind of the ultimate aim, then once you're in the Prem, it's probably s**t.
