Stable. I readjusted after the play-offs and am watching the football and enjoying the company without the expectation. The relegation scrap was still a surprise though.

After reading the Chairman's interview with Andy Naylor, has this now improved or deflated you Albion mojo?
For my already deflated mojo it hasn't improved it one bit.

For the first time I think tony bloom is clueless if he really believes what he has said in the interview with Andy Naylor

Has his comments made things better or worse for you or just no change?

strong and stable with me, or...
I was a big meh, but last couple of games with Sami showing a bit of flexibility I've felt a bit more upbeat (even if they weren't inspiring performances in themselves…), so I'm not yet near a yay, but I'm above a meh. I think I'm a may, or yeh….

So what in the chairman's interview made you feel better?

At times like this we must get behind the team...

I don't think Tony Bloom is clueless, but one statement that baffled me was his comment on his vote scuttling the FFP as it stood, when he states" So im not massively in favour of what I voted for" and then goes on to say that the vote will now cause it to be more difficult to be competitive. It will put pressure on players wages and will put more pressure on the likes of us?
Sounds a bit like a turkey voting for Christmas

If you look at my posts, I was more positive after Wigan and Blackburn even prior to the chairman's interview.
For me the chairman is the person who will meet the manager regularly, hang around the training ground, talk to coaches and players and get a proper insight far beyond what I can see simply by watching a game of football. So not only was I feeling a bit better after the last couple of games, the chairman has reinforced a confidence that things are going to improve and I'm going to trust him on that.
I've also taken a step back and in the cold light of day, 17 league games of football isn't a huge period to be judging someone who has a weaker squad than previous seasons, with a hefty injury list as well. I also look at our old friend Alan Pardew up at Newcastle and the absolute dogs abuse he got from his own fans at Stoke, whose team now sit 8th, level with Man Utd, and above Liverpool, Everton and Spurs. It really is a funny old game.

Fair comment, thank you.

I think Bloom's losing the plot, there was no need to do interviews especially telling the vast majority of your 'CUSTOMERS' to lump it, trouble is if thousands walk away how are you going to entice them back ? The AMEX novelty factor is long gone, we have suffered turgid football from 2 of the most personality free managers since Gus has gone and all we get is you don't buy enough pies.

Fairly low. The results play a part, but it can't just be those because I wasn't much better last season. The season finishing 4th under Poyet was excellent but since then a combination of the deteriorating football, high prices, poor atmosphere, difficult journeys to and from the Amex, the managerial merry-go-round, and the increasingly desperate spin and out of touch messages and attitudes from the board have just made it less enjoyable.
But these things come and go in cycles, it will improve eventually.
Sometimes, oddly, my football mojo gets restored by a non-Albion match - and that was certainly the case last Sunday being at the Ricoh for Coventry/Worcester. Just your absolutely classic, old-school FA Cup shock. Massive upset, loads of Worcester fans, great back stories for matchwinner (makes brakes for aircraft and Lewis Hamilton's F1 car) and manager (up nights all week feeding a new baby), match drama with Cov keeper sent off and giving away a penalty, Cov missing their own penalty. Exactly what the football doctor ordered, and what the FA Cup is all about.

Couldn't agree more. My mojo was 'yay', but reading about how in terms of wages this is the most expensive, well-paid squad we've ever had has really depressed me.

Which, as others have mentioned, isn't the case. Biggest player budget in the club's history on a very poor squad that looks incapable of raising their game when it matters.
Need some inspiration from the club to raise my mojo from 'low' to 'meh'.

Nay. Football overall pretty dire. No real sign of a win (if wigan had strikers we would have lost or drew) probably the lowest I have felt about the albion for years. This wonderful stadium fit to grace the best of them and yet there we are arsing about trying to avoid relegation. I havent felt this bad about the Albion in years. At least we knew we were shit (mainly) at the priestfield, goldstone and Withers and had, mostly, honest journeymen (albeit limited) playing their hearts out week after week.
Now we have a clueless manager, a man who buys players for the manager and a bloke who coins phrases like PLR and One club one ambition.

This apparent fact has really p***ed me off! I was sort of ok with the idea we were trying to do it on the cheap to comply with FFP and to save TB a few quid, fair enough, but to be told that this bunch of lazy disorganised losers costs more than the squad in any previous season is almost too much to bear! It is truly very hard to believe! Why would we be paying more for inferior players? I ticked "meh", but I think it's really "nay" after this piece of news.
