It's a defence mechanism, Vic. Pinning your every hope on Sam Allardyce and Stewy Downing is far from comforting. Powerless. But yes, in context, it should be enjoyed. Picture a different context: We've won our last 11 games but drawn and lost the 2 before the 11 wins. We'd be on the same points and we'd be pissing ourselves with giddy excitement that we have a chance. We still have a chance, but we have less control than we'd like.
