am I the only not getting hyped up about play offs

Wed May 11, 2011 3:49 pm

I am not sure why, but I am feeling no nerves about the play offs.

Last year I was a bag of nerves for weeks. I seriously almost lost my mind. This year it's gone.

I think maybe after all the missed opportunities over the years I have some how taken on a "c'est la vie" attitude to the City. I see it how it truly is.

Any anxiety seemed to leave me after Norwich got that winner six minutes into injury time against Derby and was gone during the Middlesbrough match. I sensed something bigger at work.



Anyone else feel like this?

I am feeling the same, I was hurt like thousands of others after the Blackpool game, but I am going in these games with different feelings and not expecting as much.

I'm not at all hyped up. In fact I have lost total interest. Dont ask me why, just have. I'm going to the games but not because I'm excited but more out of duty. I just hope when I get to Reading my attitude changes.

I can only echo what the others have said.

Im excited about the Reading game but you summed it up for me. Iv got a sort of c'est la vi attitude to it aswell.

I was so convinced that we were going to beat Blackpool last year, absolutely certain, that hurt loads, I was proper angry
after the game :lol:

Enthusiasm is infectious; unfortunately, the so is the flip side of that.

I'm buzzing, can't sleep. Got a good feeling about the play offs this time. Sort of glad we didn't go up automatic, be nice if 40,000 Cardiff fans can sing Cheerio cheerio cheerio to the Jack fans at Wembley when we leave them languishing in the Championship as we hit the dizzy heights of the Premier League :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: Then celebrate in our hundreds of thousands as the boys parade the trophy on an open topped bus through the city :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Its cause we are use to losing in big games when we need to win. If we do win then it will be a bonus and we can get twice as drunk :D

We were so excited at Wembley last time, we didn't even bother singing to support the team

Im not getting hyped because despite having a team on paper that
should have pissed this division...

We still have a manager who cannot motivate, cannot lead and cannot
admit when he's wrong.

YES, i blame the players. This going on the piss and disrespecting the fans
and the Club is a disgrace. But most of all it has shown a lack of respect
for their manager.

So i have no confidence going into Fridays game. None at all

Cant wait for the miserable fucker to get sacked

I'm expecting nothing from play offs. Will sit in my armchair for both games v Reading. Hope we get through but have zero confidence.

I am expecting nothing from these games.

I won't mention Boro (whoops) but I saw enough to worry me against Burnley again where our midfiled kept being over run to justify my opinion. Nevertheless, football is a funny old game as they say and you never know which City team is going to turn up so fingers and everything else crossed.
