Be prepared
Whilst this long weekend will be the perfect opportunity for most to relax and put their feet up it also incorporates the last day of the football season, which for sad cases such as myself, will result in pain, agony and unbearable tension for a ninety minute period of Saturday afternoon. I will never understand why I pay for this experience but the simple fact is that I do and therefore I just have to get through it as smoothly as possible.
The scenario is not a pleasant one. Win and we're promoted, lose and we're not. It is a strange feeling to spend 45 painstaking Saturdays of a year trying to achieve a goal only to be left with such a winner takes all situation on the final day but alas that is the situation we find ourselves in and therefore we must deal with it.
It can obviously go two ways. If we're winners we'll turn up thoroughly prepared for the game, tactically aware of absolutely everything the other team can throw at us. We'll know whose quick, whose slow, which centre half is already thinking about their summer holidays and who left their lucky boots at home.
If we're losers we'll turn up thinking the hard work is done and the job in hand is simply a case of going through motions. The second I see our full back staring quizzically at their right winger as if to say 'so what do you do?' is the second I head for the pie van and prepare for next season.
To be completely and utterly prepared in such a pressurised situation is the only way to come out on top. All I can hope, is that my team know this, otherwise Saturday could be somewhat of a write off.
