We've won 8 league titles in a row, an unprecedented treble-treble, 10 domestic trophies in a row and we're sitting top of the league. Yet I, similar to Lubo, have this season more than ever found it hard to get motivated by the football. I can't quite out my finger on it.
At times I've thought perhaps I was suffering from winners fatigue or even had grown into a sense of self-entitlement (in terms of winning) that turned into a kind of robotic expectation of winning. But I'm not one of these folk who 'only know when Celtic won', I remember the horrific 1990s (although, as any Celt around then will tell you, we did have a special kind of camaraderie back then).
On the other hand, the atmospheres for Lazio, even Cluj, were fantastic and felt like the good old days. I guess what gets me down more than anything is how soulless things are becoming in terms of my interaction with the club. We put so much money in to the club, and hardly any of us are rich, and it feels as if we're just waiting for the next scam to willingly allow ourselves to be fleeced in. T
here is undoubtedly a profound disconnect between the board/top table lash up brigade and the fans. It's feels sometimes like we just exist to fill up their bank accounts. I know there has to be that component, but it's totally imbalanced at the moment, given we are the greatest asset the club has. And that's what I'll always love about our club - the people and the comradeship. Assuming it lasts.
