Never cared less

Was half way to work this morning before I even remembered we played last night, then remembered we'd lost. I've never cared less and it's an odd feeling.
Yes, I've been sickened by football generally for the past 4 or 5 years, (the list is too long to bore you with here) but this is something new. Total apathy towards our plight.
I watched us last night and saw a bunch of people I feel no connection with whatsoever. A first.
We lost and I didn't get angry or upset. I didn't really care that a bloke younger than me (first time we've had a manager younger than me, maybe that's got something to do with it) has a bunch of mediocre players playing like kids in a playground. I don't even rise to the bait and defend my team anymore from the spiteful glee aimed at our failures by other 'fans' of other clubs.
I just don't care. Even when I had a season ticket under Souness, and we were utter garbage I still cared passionately. They were my team, it was my pride, it was my everything.
Is it age?
Is it the fact we are so pathetic?
Is it that the utter pantomime of it all has finally scrubbed out any residue of connection, belief or joy?
Anyone else going through the same thing?
 
im close.. but not quite at that point..
I see our team line up feeling meh like and expect the worse.. anything else is a bonus..
 
I am quite close too, but still hanging in there. Getting frustrated everytime we fuck up. Not a healthy or satisfactory life, but wtf, it is the one I have!!!
 
it's age for me, the older I have got the less I care about footy at all

you have other things to worry about
 
Would people care more if we playing in champions league this week?

Probably.

Funny how people get bored when we aren't doing that well.
 
It was 0-0 and some sales person called to the door.
I entertained him for a few minutes and when I went back it was 2-0.
I laughed and just turned off the telly.
 
I think its the acceptance that we have become a mid table team with no heart. When you see your team all the time performing without passion its very difficult to work up an enthusiasm for them.

I dont know who's to blame to be honest. Is it the players or the manager or a combination of both? But one thing certain is, that when things start going against us on the pitch there appears to be a distinct lack of balls or enthusiasm for the cause.

I have to say that I still get worked up over every game but when its over the disappointment of a defeat doesnt seem to last as long as it used to. Probably an age thing too.
 
This season's a dead shark, although the Jaws music keeps playing while the carcass floats and stinks.
 
It is hard to be passionate about a team, where the majority of the players stroll around not giving an arse.
 
I haven't really cared much since Rafa was sacked. I certainly haven't got angry at a bad result since then. But I don't think I've ever cared quite as little as this. I didn't even realise the game was on yesterday until I looked on Twitter at about 5.40pm.
 
When it comes to cup games I'm oddly non plussed these days. If it's the league though and we lose at home to some fucking shite team - I get really pissed off. The games against Villa and Stoke this season nearly had me disown them. The thing that gets me feeling good about them is going to the game. I love Anfield and the whole vibe of the ground. The King Harry before and after - That bit is ace if only for a few times a season. If I dwell on the fact it costs me £150+ to do it I think I'll cry!
 
I think it's the fact that our season is over pretty much at the start of the season. I can't get enthused about 'progress'. I want to be challenging for honours. Anything else is just meh.

Plus, for me, the main problem is that we look so vulnerable it's untrue. This 3 man midfield is always all over the place and we just look on tenterhooks. I'm not convinced that better players is the answer to that.
 
Thanks Sean for the candor. It's not easy watching us become also-rans. Looking at the City/Arse games and many others, we are painfully close, so close. But, when a series of these games go wrong, the aggregate is an impression of decline, when we are just almost, nearly there.

Anyway, I can relate, with a small business to run, two kids to raise, and more detail to manage than I can remember, it's hard to be upset for long. Especially when you know people losing loved ones. But overall, it feels like the passion and emotion of following a club is the role of a younger man. I'll always care, but perspective and age seems to be coming into play

A very nicely put post. You Sir are a fine word smith.
 
I dont get upsetor angry if we lose anymore. Its been quite common to lose games for the last few years and that does something with your mentality.
Age and getting kids are also factors to add.

I watch our games and when we play the other big teams I still get excited.
But there are certainly alot of downs and very few ups which takes its toll.
The most annoying thing is that we've for the last few years been dubbed Loserpool by a lot of fans, and I desperatly want us to turn things around.

Every time a sales person calls to your door they have to come in and listen to you play the fucking drums.

"I'm just an avon lady, please let me leave now."

Yeah... know what you mean. Ive been struggling to watch with the time difference heading to bed safe in the knowledge that we've lost or drawn most often. It's been shit really really shit.
 
I'm close as well. I feel frustration watching us play football with no passion. I feel angry when we lose. I feel let down after the game has finished but it doesn't stick for so long as it used to. But I can't say that I'm not excited again on the next match day...only to be let down again.
