ca 1 Posted August 15, 2004 I just wanted to say that I think I am going to find it very hard to do my predictions this year because although I am very positive I know that we will lose games this season but I really hate to predict a defeat, it makes me feel disloyal.My heart says one thing and my head something else.Is anyone else wrestling with their green and yellow conscience or is it just me being just a bit too emotional?

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted August 16, 2004 Not at all angel. I hate thinking we will lose, even when I know there is a damn good chance we will! It feels like I''m letting the side down. But I think we have to be realistic about games this season and if that means facing defeat so be it.Keep the faith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

susie b 0 Posted August 17, 2004 You are in desperate need of some worry beads, cityangel, and a long thread of them at that! This season is going to be full of conscience-pricking decisions for you guys. You really have my sympathies. Good luck to you all. (I gave up making predictions a couple of seasons ago as I felt my endless optimism was having an adverse effect on the team!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 733 Posted August 17, 2004 Regard it as an insurance policy. If you predict we lose and we win you will be happy anyway. If you predict we win and we lose you will have some mild consolation. If you are anything like me your predictions will be way out so by predicting we lose you may well be iensuring that we dont. Hope this makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
