OK, I know football isn't everything and that, in real life, there are things happening every minute of every single day which dwarf it in terms of importance. But I have to come clean and admit that this latest great escape really meant the world to me.
It's scarcely an exaggeration to say the plight of our club was having a genuine effect on my mood in all aspects of life. The thought of relegation with such a talented squad and knowing the profound effect it would have on so many people was truly depressing me.
Yesterday's result, albeit against depleted and demoralised opposition, was almost dream-like. I know it's a cliche, but I was honestly expecting to wake up after leaving Selhurst and be told it was all a dream. For all our worries to be ended so completely and so swiftly seemed unreal and almost anti-climactic. But thank God it happened!
I'm far too old to feel the way I do about a medium-sized, up-and-down and, frankly, rather flaky football club. But, looking around yesterday, I guess I'm not the only one. Anyone else care to confess? Or am I wrong and is it really "just a silly game"? :angel:
