Dude, this obsession with Woolwich has to take a break at some point. The bigger picture is CL, a target almost none of us thought we would achieve and one that would allow us to improve our squad and do better next year. Finishing above the Scum would have been the cherry on top, not the whole fudging cake! Harry just put things in perspective for some of us who can't see the forest from the trees.
The interesting thing about the WBA and Chelski games though, was that we were flying in the first halves of both. So we entered the games with the right mentality, but didn't maintain it throughout. Even against Southampton we were the better team in the first half (not flying, but at least better). Only in the Saudi Sportswashing Machine game were we out of it from the start.
Even more so for folks who deal with Arse fans every day. They need to brush it off, exactly because they are surrounded by Arse fans, else they will be constantly frustrated and upset. Just like we are saying about our team that the players shouldn't allow themselves to be wound up by the opposition, so too the fans should brush these things off. The best way to get back at your opponents is to show them that what they do or say doesn't affect you. That irritates them more than anything. And once you're able to do that, you begin to realize that they're really irrelevant. Just my two cents worth of philosophical musings.

Agreed. Which is why it is always important to take a step back, take a deep breath, and then post. Amazing how that changes the tone.
Ah, but we are amongst our own here. We can moan and groan and rant and rave, use the forum as a sort of agony aunt sounding board - and then turn a calm, superior face towards those south london nomads ,having vented all our wrath here.Agreed.
