This Title Race lark is starting to take it''s toll on me as a fan, I just want the season to hurry up and end now.

Don't get me wrong it's wonderful, it's glorious and it's beyond my wildest dreams but fucking hell the apprehension and nerves before games is horrible and watching the games is torture knowing any slip up could prove fatal to our chances of winning it. We're just not used to experiencing such huge games so regularly and that probably plays a part.

The City game did it for me.

Anyone feeling the same?
 
City game moved it beyond a dream, and since then the tension has been mounting. Things going in our favour have produced initial euphoria, but have actually seemed to add to the overall anxiety. I'm trying to relax, knowing Chelsea is days away ....... not succeeding really.

Imagine how the players feel - our two main strikers look absolutely exhausted now. Even Suarez has lost something in his appetite, and SG looked really physically weak against Norwich. It is a good think we have the likes of Raheem, Skrtel, Flanagan, and Allen - they look like they have the energy and enthusiasm to last the season and give it 100% till it's over. You can tell with SG that his body is just saying slow down right now, and I think Suarez and Sturridge are playing with energy but can no longer think clearly with purpose like they did a few games before the City game.
 
I'm exhausted this title race is tres fatiguant. It's not the small business I run, the constant travel, nor the 2 young kids, lack of family support, in the area, nor endless demands of life at all. It's the title race, my one escape!!!!
 
Yea. I never remember it being like this before during the good years because there was always next season and I took it for granted we'd always be there or thereabouts in April.

This time it's nerve wracking. We're like some guy who used to pull women very easily almost every time he went out but then got sent to prison for 24 years. Now we're finally out and we're looking at some poor bedraggled peroxide wretch in a bar who has TB and more crabs than the Galápagos Islands but we think we might have a shot and we're sweating and nauseated at the possibility of getting our end away and we almost feel like just leaving and going back to the digs for a handjob like we've become used to but our nob is hopping and twitching so wildly that we're half afraid it'll jump off and lunge at her itself unless we go through with it so we make the final move and take her out to the car park just to prove to ourselves we can still do it and maybe the next time it'll be easier and we'll actually be able to enjoy it.
 
Me neither. The massive anti climactic come down after we win it will be a killer.
I'd rather not win it than suffer that. Maybe Manu have it right after all. Damn you, you clever mancs.

Demonstrates proper avoidance of "the comma".
 
I just want to take this moment to say that

1) My father in-law to be is a Manc
2) My girl is half Manc/half American
3) we are pregnant with our first
4) it's a boy
5) he's due on or around May 8th
6) I've penciled in May 11th for his birthday

MIRACLE BABY!
 
Massive coronary waiting to happen if all our remaining 3 games are like Norwich and City!
 
The only draining time for me was Subderland last 10 mins and city last 15 mins.

The rest was a relative walk in the park.

No of this blowing our chances and then getting another chance as rivals slip up.

We are 11/11. It's been a relatively stress free challenge for me so far and incredibly enjoyable

Jeeez, he was trying to build the panicked tension of the person in question, the lack of commas helped me connect with that frantic mind set.

Beautifully written Gene, but as they say, your story is only as good as your readers. (do they say that?)
 
I was getting very stressed until last Friday, when my neighbour had the inspired idea of dumping an old rotary clothes line on the path in the dark. Once I'd fallen over it and cracked my rib I was given so much codeine I now feel impervious to all aspects of footie-related stress. It's an option.

Erm, I was complimenting him, you derp.
 
jupp I am drained. I think it has been a massive run in, and that now have 14(?) unbeaten games or so makes this actually easier than it could have been. I have only dreamt about it for real the last few weeks. Even when leading at xmas i didn't dream of winning it. Also thank god that United are not in it. I need to have this on my own one season before I can start feeling the pressure of them winning thight irritating unfair rotten games as well......
 
I'm loving it, just really enjoying it, even if I am a bit obsessed. The matches are almost all awful, though. I had to leave the room when Norwich got their second goal, I just had to get up and take a break and steel myself for the true horror of the final 20 minutes I knew was coming. It was much worse than I expected, though. Towards the end I almost felt on the verge of tears, just helpless for the final whistle. And then when the game ended I only felt drained and exhausted, no euphoria at all.

If we do it, though, it'll never be this bad for me or lots of others ever again. This is the one, the first I've witnessed. Nothing could come close to how much I want us to win this.

She doesn't look like she's pregnant.
 
Let's face it, when we look back, at least it will be memorable for the way in which we've challenged.

We don't do shit finals and this run-in, as we said several games ago, is a set of finals. We're doing exactly what we always do and at this stage and with this much to play for, exactly what the game should be about, going out there and sweating blood for the win and concentrating on bagging goals and going for the throat.

Whatever our flaws, however close games have been this season, that's one for the tacticians and the moneymen in the Summer, in the meantime I'll take three more 3-2's in our favour. Then I'll recuperate by heading to the retirement home in July to watch Woy's pipe and slippers antics.
 
It's been fantastic but must have taken years off my life. Even hours after the game my heart is fucking thumping! At times the tension has been unbearable but I can recommend watching the game a second time, we really haven't been under that much pressure although it doesn't feel like it at the time. For example it felt like Norwich were going to score at any time on Sunday after they scored the second and it felt like were going to collapse but in reality they only had one chance and we handled the pressure ok and should have scored a couple.
 
I should be that man too JJ old chum, but I am finding it very stressful. Perhaps in the old days we were a lot less flakey at the back, didn't have a keeper that is a complete woos in the air, and some lump of a Brazilian running round trying to give as many soft free kicks away in our half as he can in the last 20 minutes.
