Do you remember when we were relegated in 2005

and in the Championship we had Huckerby, Green, Ashton, Safri, Etuhu etc and we were absolutely f**king s**t... pretty much from the off?

I dunno what it is. We're not world beaters... but the expectation, the entitlement, the presumption of success at the moment... it's really odd. Really unhealthy.

No big investment, some exciting young players, Wes in his pomp and yet people really losing their s**t.

I'll be honest... we've had it REALLY bad in the last 20 years and yet you'd think this was a low point. I honestly don't get it.

PS I have taken wine.
