More importantly, it was something over which I had no control.
It’s not good, as far as mood swings are concerned, to be up in the clouds or down in the depths anyway, but even more so when your emotions are externally dictated to.
You can even experience both extremes in the space of one game.
Watching the match on television took me back twenty years, when Wolves got promotion to the Premier League the first time round.
We were 3-0 down at half-time against Leicester City and some fans didn’t bother coming back to their seats for the second period.
They allowed their feelings to dictate and they left the stadium.
