How are you dealing with this?

[Dr Who?]

While perspective is needed and it's just sport, I remember when we were relegated and some fan was crying in a photo (which you'd find with any relegated club of course), and a newspaper columnist (non-sport) commented how pathetic it was and that there were real problems in the world. That annoyed me, because initial reaction is different. I'm sure that person and everyone else quickly moved on and gained some perspective, but that comment seemed to suggest we're not allowed to feel emotion aboutI have noticed all season and last season the match reports on this sites home page always put up the negative result reports up first. When we win it seems to take an age for them to appear. You can bet your life if we lose tomorrow the report will be up quickly with the peterborough report being pushed down the list.

 

Sums up this site really! anything that isn't ridiculously serious. Even then, surely it could always be worse? Lost a leg, get over it, you didn't lose two. I'm not sure where the line is.

 

But that's more about the aftermath rather. than the build-up. I can't comprehend taking time off work due to nerves over the byuild-up. Post-fck up depression day off...well I can understand more if not condone it, but surely what most people are feeling in the build-up is 99% excitement 1% nerves? Why be a football fan if you can't enjoy stuff like this? With some on here I really question at what point the enjoyment comes, because I don't see it, in any position of any league.

100% agree if you cannot enjoy this you will never enjoy watching Saints. I am coping by getting on with my life!

I had a great time last summer enjoying the fact we'd got ourselves back out of League One, so this season's success is a bit of a bonus. Shame about where we ultimately end up for being this good, but I guess we mostly enjoyed that for 27 successive years as well.

I've quit my job, moved out and left my g/f. I will be spending the next few days camped outside St Mary's.

A lurid mixture of lithuanian pornography, alcohol, prescription drugs and 'This Morning' with Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield is doing the trick.

I have just got a confirmation that I will be induced into a coma tomorrow and woken up Saturday morning. My problems are solved.

[MINIBARCELONASAINT]

I'm off to University in October, so I am just looking forward to my last game as a Southampton F.C ballboy.

If we get promotion that would be probably the best two years' "work" I'll ever do.

I'll be in my usual spot, ball-boying the away sides' dugout and technical area and hopefully it will be a case of celebrations like Chaplow's goal against Manchester United and not the head in hands bewilderment I felt when the entire Portsmouth bench celebrated right in front of me.

[Dalek2003]

I am completely calm about the whole thing. If we don't be Coventry then I would say we are better off in the NPC for another year as we are simply not ready for the Premiership. I have enjoyed our season in the NPC and should we find ourselves in again I predict...........8th !

[sperm_john]

clearly from this thread the end of season is driving everyone mad whether they realise it or not, relaxxxxxx, chill outtttt

Only ever saw him play one decent game, Derby away in play offs, just hope he does not match that performance!

[The Fat Controller]

Its a game of football

It wont pay your wages or bills

Promotion will guarantee one thing

And thats the fans will pay for it financially.

We pay for the players lavish lifestyle by paying approx 10%

Of an average persons weeks take home pay.

We can expect to pay minimum of £40-45 per game next season

[dubai_phil]

I am packing.

 

Woo hoo.

 

The flight is only 7 hours but it will seem like 70. Boo hoo.

 

And no I can't get wrecked as I have to drive round the M25 in rush hour tonight. Arrrgh

[Mouldy Coat]

I've just blown my life savings on crack cocaine and prostitutes. How else was I gonna get through this? Frank wouldn't listen

Now I know why I don't watch the carp on East Enders/Corre etc. I just read carp on here instead.

[SNSUN]

Well I finish my shift today at 2. That's it, no more work until Tuesday. Tonight I was going to go drinking, but as I'm doing that all day Saturday, I think I may just have a quiet one in with Football Manager. I will start a new game, as West Ham, and make them lose every game. (In my mind, it's kind of like voodoo.) Tomorrow, I shall have a lie in until as late as possible, get up, get hair cut, take missus out to the cinema and get an early night. Saturday, I plan on dressing up in everything Saints to watch the game, hopefully cheering us on to a win.

 

So, I'm keeping busy.

Hope he performs like koncheski ( wrong spelling I know) did against his old club.

[stev2001]

I'm fine now but come saturday the bowels will start to loosen.

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

I've been using hookers on an hourly basis, then dumping them nearby. Really struggling as words starting to get round and numbers are getting low. **** knows what I'll do after that.

I'm finding it quite strange at work. People just going about their business and to them it's just another week with just another weekend coming up, but to me it is massive, the biggest weekend of the year and I can't bloody wait for tomorrow to get out of the way.

[Julian H. Cope]

I'm having a week off, can't cope with anything at the moment. Gone grey in the last month and lost 2 stone in weight.

 

Sounds like you've got the bad AIDS.

Why don't you just occupy yourself trying to validate your details in the new ticketing system? hint - for maximum time consumption, use a browser other than IE

[Foxstone]

I keep telling myself that if we had a choice of who to play on the final game of the season where we need a win to assure ourselves of promotion to the premiership, then Coventry would be my choice.

[Nadia Sllim]

I just hope Coventry have been sent to us.

[Seaford Saint]

Not sleeping well..stopped drinking. Up at 04:00 most mornings this week....out with my dogs in the evenings...wife is a Reading fan as are her kids - so i am surrounded by them. Not eating meal with them. I want to kill them (her kids not the wife)....will this feeling pass?

 

Working late too.....

Might do when they've finished at Uni and stop coming round and hijacking all of you cash,the contents of your fridge and

occasionally denting,and regularly leaving with about a thimblefull of petrol, your car.

[lambertsrightleg]

I haven't thought about it. It's coming, I know it is and I'm dreading it so my mind has clearly gone into auto pilot and is just ignoring all talk of it.
