Eventually most of us get to a place. A tranquill place. Our happy place.
We acquire footballing acceptance into our lives and embrace it.
We deny it for the first 10 games. Rant rave at the players and coach. Fight each other.
Then a level of inevitability comes over TK. Kennellers accept that we don't have that competitive team we thought...we were promised even. Our star signings haven't transferred over their previous team form.
We eventually accept our fate as Bulldogs supporters and start demanding signings news and prepare for the next season. Along the way are the occasional high points and celebrations for small wins but eventually we settle into our way of the World.
