In recent years,maybe(2000 onwards) .But not in the past.
That's the why VDV(the original one) was so liked.He truly got it.
Yeah I think it's probably connected to Woolwich being so much more successful than us over the 90s/early 2000s and it instilled a feeling of superiority within the club.
So even in more recent history, when we've been the better side, that ethos remained and was translated to their inferior players who still felt their rightful place was above us and always tended to showed up in derbies.
We won't win the ropey league.
All we'll do is struggle all season with Thursday/Sunday fixtures until we innevitably go out and have nothing, not even decent prize money.
Alot of fans want Ange backed. He ain't getting backed with Ropey league money.
This is it.
We should all want us to win.
We won't, so it's irrelevant.
We might not win the Europa but at least it'll give us a chance to play some of our academy.
If even one of them comes good that'd be worth its weight in gold, and arguably more than an extra 50m of CL money. Imagine Bergvall, Donley, Lankshear, Phillips, Hall, Dorrington, Moore & co getting minutes in Europe and working their way into the first team, what could be more satisfying as a fan.
Conversely if we're in the CL you know Ange is just playing his first team 3 times a week; everyone's getting injured and it'll completely fuck our domestic season like it did with Newcastle and United this year.
Big Nunzio Esporito el es Santos also managed to get a win with pure terrorball.
For me, they're conflated because I feel at one with the team. My mind is with the players for every moment they are on the pitch. It's not a spectator sport for me. It's full mental immersion.
Maybe I'm the world's first Zen football fan but I do firmly believe that purity of mind (or lack thereof) has an effect on what happens on the pitch. From the fan listening on the radio to the players that are out there. This is why I feel so concerned about the ramifications of wanting the team to lose.
Personally, I'll never forgive the bastards if they suddenly show up and put in a winning display after turgid, dogshit performances of late, especially against the Woolwich at home!
I've got a ticket for the game but, like a fair few I imagine, I'm not going as too awkward.

What are the best drugs to achieve this state of mind you function on??
I want some.
Europa league would be very useful revenue and we have a decent chance if we believe we are two or three players away from a good team. I actually think we've suffered having too few games this season. In particular the fringe players are incredibly short on minutes when they do come on.
Yeah but then Levy will offer 12m under asking price and Woolwich will offer full whack.
I genuinely couldn't give a fuck about champions league, been there, done that, bought fuck all with the proceeds.

Sounds like he might be on DMT. Amazing stuff, that is.
He ain't getting backed regardless
We've had plenty of champions league money and we've done sod all with it
