I feel the same, except that you've been supporting longer.
But I think the worst part is the realization and then the ensuing self-hatred, that my Saturday will still be planned around watching this stupid fucking team.
Believe me, I've been supporting since before the 1990s... That was just an example of how far we can stoop if we REALLY put our minds to it...
I have the 'benefit' of seeing us in the early '80s when we were. REALLY a joy to watch...
I also have vague memories of relegation in '77... but it somehow felt more positive than this .. cos I knew we'd be back...
Now, I'm not so sure...
Will Conte even be in charge at this point.
I think Bentancur and Kuluveski seem good additions but it's still early days, but fuck me, how do you beat City then lose to Burnley.
Losing to Burnley in itself isn't necessarily a disgrace - it's the four losses in five matches. Something is fundamentally wrong behind the scenes. Again. And as will all of the last sackings, that constant is the players. And the owners.
The same shit can't keep happening to different managers.

But there's summit about losing to Burnley that sends our Managers over the edge... Remember Poch's rant at FT to Mike Dean...
...and now Conte last night!
I think they're both emotional men, and maybe dealing with someone as emotionless as Levy, and ultimately working for someone as invisible as Joe Lewis isn't how they best operate!
But hey, I digress. This is the Leeds match thread... As you were!
But it won't .. if anything, it'll hasten Conte's departure!
I still can't *ever BRING myself to WANT us to lose
*the only notable exception was at Old Trafford in '99 that gave Man Utd the title ahead of Woolwich.... But I don't think I was alone that day... Remember Les Ferdinand's face when he opened the scoring???
I'd take relegation for a season if it meant ENICunts left for good and proper owners with vision came in not glorified fraud accountants and tax dodging parasites
Think of the long-term gains
I do remember that
Maybe I don't want to actively see us lose.
But I couldn't give a fuck about the result and long term I see a loss as better for the team and us in the future.
It's not even gallows humour or pessimism, it's a literal fact that we always make teams that have been conceding goals for fun look like prime AC Milan of the 80s/90s at the back.
And I haven't been following Leeds' results too closely so not sure if they've been having trouble scoring goals, but if they have, I can absolutely 100% guarantee, that they will score at least 1 on Saturday. The end result will depend on if they score that goal early or not.
If they do then it gives us plenty of time to go out and attack them in search of the equaliser, so they will probably win 2 or 3 nil due to the space and calamitous defending we will no doubt gift them.
If they score their goal late, then our hard fought 0-0 will turn to dust and we will have 5 minutes of watching our lads look angry and urgent, before trudging off at the final whistle looking dumbfounded and angry because somehow they still haven't realised that they are a bunch of utter shitcunts and the number of poor performances and bad results aren't just a matter of bad luck...
On the face of it it's baffling, but I am becoming more and more convinced that our World Class Facilities™ are actually harming us right now, ENIC shotgunned (parts of) the club infrastructure to the highest level, whilst the playing side of things was still only on the road there, although at the time we were moving in the right direction.
Now we are a club with these great facilities, and yet no recent pedigree of success on the pitch to match it. Players joining have all the lavish trappings of a successful world class club, but none of the expectation to win that would come with playing for a Real Madrid, a Bayern, a Juventus, and so they can just relax, get changed in the cushy dressing room that has more space than most common fan's home, have a nice sauna post game to unwind, crack open a chilled sparkling water as they watch Conte unravel in the corner more and more with each passing game...
Look at the Youth Team, since all of those facilities were upgraded, what the fuck do we have to show for it? One Oliver Skipp and a bunch of absolute shite that will never even come close to threatening the first team, whoch is damning when you look at how shite the first team is! The youngsters that join us from elsewhere actually regress once they get here, see Jack Clarke for example...
Bunch of losers have reached the pinnacle work place comfort without having to actually achieve any success to get there, where is the motivation to push on and improve when they can just coast and be surrounded by luxury no matter what?
Didn’t realise that you were born in 1882!!!
Might book myself in for a sack and crack waxing session early Saturday afternoon.
There is a chance it could be less painful.

Your not alone. Many of us gave had the joy sucked out of us by enic and levy.
I'm going out for a walk in the country side. No TV no radio I'm donski ( Just preparing for our new Russian overlord and I for one welcome him!) Can't take the emotional self harm anymore.
Our players might turn up if it’s not raining.
