We are very much riding other club's luck at the minute, aren't we?

Surely it can't continue?

To be honest mate, I don't want to watch or look at the score tonight, so this reply will do & what will be, will be. Still some twists & turns to come.

After the Mackems, I'm just gonna .....

Until you-know-who came to us, I'd lost sight of the importance of this....

"The only irreplaceable ones"

Unfortunately, this doesn't mean anything to those in power. I really wouldn't care to call them "other really important people". Fans are just another commodity to owners, TV, FA, etc.

Unfortunately, they were too busy turning football clubs into businesses that they forgot to consider if they should.....

....oh, and none of the football authorities did anything other than stand by and let it happen.

We delude ourselves that we don't follow a "business" as a coping mechanism.

Like grains of sand on a beach. Might not be outright corruption, recency bias, stress, pressure based on the money involved, the players & fans or the atmosphere. Add it all together with crap like VAR & all it takes are officials who are not the best equipped to deal with all this & s##t happens.

A win from a good performance rather than a bad luck but it was a good performance will just be the tonic to ease the stress for a few days.

Maybe just put it on the naughty step for 10 mins and tell it to have a good long think about what it's done?

Yep, and in our position we'll see more of it over the next few years. I accept it, but it doesnt mean I have to like it. Gone are the days of loyalty and one club players.

Another example of Modern Football is S##t unfortunately

That is untreatable. No cure, no management of the affliction, unfortunately. He'll always be an insufferable twat.

He's playing for a move. He doesn't care about them. Just another stepping stone.

Well, I don't know about anyone else's, but my timeline on here tonight reads like a Shakespearian tragedy.

Just another day in the long, endless struggle we call being #lufc fans.

On the bright side....only 9 left.

No need for a meltdown.......

.....there's always the enevitable warm embrace of the day of reckoning to look forward to....

Or as it's otherwise known.....

...West Ham away, final day of the season.

It's just the #lufc way.

!!Correction!!

Yes I know. I was a fool to think that there'd be such things as the footballing gods, let alone that should these deities exist, they would ever think to grant good fortune upon #lufc

The only folk to trust are ourselves. No more performances like last night, please!

I know that it'll quite funny to see a big fat Greek meltdown if things stay like they are, but there's a little bit of me that doesn't like the thought of what the London-ratio of clubs would be should WHU stay up.

And another part that doesn't care a monkeys, as long as we're alright 🤞😉
