Leaving the UK in June has given me an interesting perspective on the Albion who I have been following since the mid 80s as far as attending games is concerned.
I've had my fair share of loss of perspective moments over the years as well as running on the pitch at the goldstone and being a prick through to the games in the darkens days attending rallies and gigs (notably Chester away)
Safe to say it's a different club now. Thank god.
However reading many social media outlets and of course the gospel that is nsc. It's made me wonder whether we have started to sound like ungrateful children, a bunch of self entitled bellends who have lost a little sense of what the last 5 years have given us.
The club make mistakes. We make mistakes. All of us. But the journey we are being taken on at the moment is something that I could not have comprehended as real 10 years back.
I know I will be hosed down as being unambitious.
But it's actually more about the way we portray ourselves to the best club and the people that have taken us this far.
Moaning, criticising, expecting full updates from the club on transfers, demanding that we are provided with absolute clarity of up to date information so that we, the ignorant Ill-informed can then cast aspersions with no actual grounds for such accusations.
I know the club can make the odd faux pas. And as supporters we know full well the dangers of crooked owners.
But for the love of god can't we just enjoy this
Whatever the outcome ? Life is brief for all of us. Think of what happened last August. How the club portrayed itself.
That's what I follow.
If faith and hope in Tony Bloom makes me a simpleton and a club apologist then that's what I am.
Enjoy the present. Otherwise life will be impossible to enjoy at all
