It’s always around now that the reality kicks in

You drift down the league. Games take the same pattern….you think you’re in every game….really giving a good account of yourself…but you just can’t get results. Points don’t go on the board. You’re down alongside the teams that you filed under “total s**t, we’ll definitely be better than that”. Confidence that was so high a few weeks ago starts to bleed out. An injury or two makes you realise how thin your squad is. Then someone like West Ham or Palace turn up, and you go into the game really expecting, only to get battered. Or worse, lose by 2/3 without the oppo even breaking sweat. Pundits that loved you as the plucky underdog turn on you, and start pointing out just how far away you are. And you always feel that hope, because there’s usually 3/4 other s**t teams who aren’t getting points. We only need a win…four points from the next two. But it never happens, and the season just limps on, bringing defeat after defeat, while you try to feel happy when you scrape a point vs Wolves. As you get cut adrift from garbage like Everton.

Welcome to the premier league.
