Yeah, well said

I think two different types of 'entitlement' are being a bit mixed up here.

There's the idea of people feeling a sense of entitlement that we should be beating teams (maybe even easily). I certainly don't feel that. I thought this season would be difficult - I'm surprised by how many points we have - and I definitely don't think we have any 'right' to get promoted.

Then there's a different issue, of whether we feel overly 'entitled' to entertaining football. That's more interesting I think.

I do want watching our games to be enjoyable in some ways. Is that different to how footie used to be? Maybe it is. God know I've been to enough sh*t Norwich games over the years, and have kept going back.

Is it a bit of a Farke effect? Is it something to do with modern life, where we feel more of a divine right to be entertained? Maybe it's over-exposure to the prem, CL etc, and the quality there? Or maybe it's a bit of getting older, and putting a bit more weight on the experience rather than just the result?

Not sure, but I think it's a fair accusation. Definitely feels like there's something a bit missing for me, anyway.
