Effect of results on our mood?

[TheStig]

How does the performance of the team affect fans´ mood? Being abroad, matches are followed on dodgy streams with one eye on FT (which does not necessarily contribute to good weekend moods). A bad performance with no passion or desire on our part makes me want to switch to watching chess and I question my own sanity on being so dependant on football results. If we win and have played well there is a spring in my step. I am willing to discuss with "locals" how cool a team Leicester City is to follow and how entertaining and a fighting squad we have. Seagrave, Rodgers, Tielemans et al - when the opposite happens. Not a lot of banter, "overpaid lazy footballers - not worth their huge salaries etc. etc.

 

I wonder if the players realise the influence they and the club have on our daily lives........?

 

How are you affected - interesting to know if I am the only one......

[coolhandfox]

Simply a win makes me feel like we can achieve world peace, save the planet and solve world hunger

 

Lose and it just another nail in the coffin of humanity

i don't let it affect me these days. It used to a lot but the more you think about it, it's a bit stupid to let something like football affect your mood and the potential back lash on your loved ones, friends and anyone around you. 

 

I have taught me self to basically switch off from it by the time i have got back to the car / train after the game. 

 

I think winning so much over the past 12 years or has helped with it.

Depends for me if I go the game and we lose/draw but it's still a good day I don't care as much (like yesterday at Leeds). If I don't go and we lose it winds me up more, probably a sober thing as well as I don't really drink at home.

This is spot on and was thinking this the other day. Since moving country I’ve got two major disadvantages:

 

1. Every minute is televised and commented on by some moron who doesn’t know the club at all

 

2. I’m not there experiencing the rest of the atmosphere so it literally is down to the result. Going to games semi regularly before you’d have a shout and get it all out there, time with family, shit beer and pie and it’s a good day regardless

It has evolved over time, for me.

 

When I was younger, I enjoyed wins and endured losses in equal amounts. 

 

The great escape season I enjoyed most matches - win, lose or draw. The season after was ok, too.

 

Nowadays, losses seem to make me a little more miserable than wins make me happy.

 

(And slow, dull, passive, lethargic performances just make me fvcking angry)

 

So, yeah, I've been mostly angry since about February.   

[Spudulike]

My family always kept a close eye on the City result to know if it was safe to approach me for 24 hours post match. 

 

Not so much now. Only about 12 hours. 

[Hollyfox]

I flew out to malaga on the Sunday morning after the Man Utd game. 

Wore a Leicester top to travel in and, when I got to Luton Airport, there were quite a few in Leicester shirts. 

 

Had we lost, on the Saturday, I'd have worn something else or kept my jacket zipped up. 

 

What a saddo, I know😄😄

[Mike Oxlong]

Performance often sets my mood more than the result to be honest 

[thursday_next]

If we lose, then the second the final whistle goes, I'll turn off, get stoned, have a really good wank, not watch MOTD and forget about football entirely till the next day. I admit that chess would be hard, because I would be in the middle of analysing a daring rook sacrifice and somehow the thought of Soyuncu and his latest present to the opposition would appear, so I would prefer to get stoned as a bastard. It works for me. 

[foxfanazer]

It really affects my mood and I think the day it no longer does is when I'll give it up.

 

It's not so much the results but more when we lack identity which right now I feel we do. Would love us to get back to being pests and a nightmare to play against. Everything's become a bit too nice for my liking

It is the manner of the defeat for me. I genuinely think it’s worse to be terrible and dominated than to concede a 90th minute goal. 
 

give me the deeney moment over legia any day. At least you feel pride when your teams given their all 

[StanSP]

This place makes me feel worse about most defeats as opposed to the performances sometimes

 

Even when we win you get miserably dragged down to the fvcking pits

Funny how we all differ isn’t it. For me it’s the severity of the game and what it means. Legia raised a smirk off me and I thought it was cute that they made t-shirts. The Deeney moment nearly cost me my second year of uni, I was sat there staring in a contract law exam rethinking the whole debacle.

This is nice. I hit my deadlift PR after Slavia I was so ****ed off about it  

[Lestaz]

Feel ecstatic after a win, sleep well and happy until the next match. Trying to deal with the disappointments is getting better but mental health takes a battering - usually lingers for 48 hrs.  Worst case scenario is after watching a tense tight match where a winning position (or even a draw) is undone - that really does me in!

Having been on here so long, I'm fully prepared for it. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

Honestly I don't feel too much these days, only time I felt really vexed was the Bournemouth game. I feel like after the league win football is pretty much completed not really going to get any better than that. FA Cup really brought that feeling back though but we are in such a stable position now it's almost not worth getting pissed off at as much

I think I don’t mind the negative emotions, it makes you appreciate the good moments more. Part of what makes the sport great, extreme highs and lows.  It’s the nothingness I can’t stand. 
 

Bournemouth, slavia and maybe even villa in the cup are the worst I’ve felt.  Games that you know you can and should be doing so much better in. The feeling that the team just didn’t do what it should be doing. They are the low points in football for me.  In the same way I look back at the team relegated to league 1 and didn’t think the same, because that team was simply poor. They didn’t underperform, they were just terrible. 
 

Relegation hurts, but there is sometimes a feeling that maybe the club needs it, they deserved to go down and need a chance to rebuild and start again. The same optimism that a new manager can bring. 

[Stevosevic]

I don't feel too much these days.

 

I think that's due to our recent success. I guess there's the feeling we've peaked so let it be. 

[The Year Of The Fox]

A defeat used to ruin my weekend

 

Now I’ve forgotten about it 5mins after FT

 

I’m not sure if that’s down to winning the League, growing up, or just losing interest

[Matt]

Better than it used to be and certainly in recent years due to the ’transition’ I really don’t feel too bothered or much empathy that I can buy into how we play.

 

Just a general feeling of ‘meh’.
