Supporting any sports team is based on delusion/hope. The vast majority of supporters the world over will inevitably be disappointed because only a tiny amount of teams can win the available trophies, whatever the sport.
But supporting a team is about having hope, having dreams, backing those hopes and dreams, seeing that hope crushed, on occasion seeing that hope rewarded.
Supporting a team is not about behaving like a spoilt child, demanding success like some self entitled brat.
Most people know this appointment is a gamble. Most, deep down, because of our record, probably do suspect its likely to end in tears, but most will get on board because its what supporters do - We dare to dream and hope, because ultimately its sport and there are far more important things to whine about.
Perhaps lighten up a bit, enjoy the ride and you never know, you might find some joy in supporting your team.
