to myself

a season which had promised so much is ending in disappointment.

we started the season afresh, amidst some lingering doubts. but we know that we were at last shaking off the disappointment and agony of the past two years.

at the turn of the year, there were some disappointments, but we still went into 2008 as leaders, with every confidence that we could win everything.

we started the year well, but slowly everything slipped away.

we watched as the season self-destructed. as everything within grasp vanished into thin air.

now, we are in extremely poor form. morale is down, and we have basically forgotten how good we are.

the victory at bolton was only a brief respite. everything's back to as it was a month ago.

but it's really not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. get up and fight. come on.
