shandypants Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) I'm normally climbing the walls by this point in the closed season but I must admit that I've not at all missed watching the Owls yet. Maybe it has something to do with the disappointment of the play-offs. Who knows?! Edited June 7, 2017 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I know what you mean, the anger and disappointment has subsided a wee bit, now is the time to chill, relax and wait for the signings to appear as this will give us a clue as to what Carlos plans to do for the coming season. Hopefully is will be positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Im ok at the minute, but the withdrawal symptoms usually kick in around the time the fixtures are announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I haven't missed it at all yet. Only just recovered from that shitty play off defeat. Will get more excited if I can get iFollow working though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynecoyne14 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 i'm still pissed off about the bad use of resources and lack of transparency plus the ever injured and never playing players why sign the fookers in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencerowl Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I have a feeling this is what they are up too, so we better join then for a few months.... then back on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHOwl Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 When I was a kid - 1970's mind - the FA Cup and the European Cup final firmly signalled the end of the season and then - apart from the bi-annual excitement of the World Cup or Euro's for which England didn't always qualify - it was summer holidays and cricket through August . I just don't remember worrying about Wednesday during the close season. One or two signings, a bit of a build up around the time of friendlies and that was about it. To be honest I'm still the same today. I had switched off within 24 hours of the play-off defeat. It was over, time to take a break. The internet has changed things of course but I still prefer the "old way". We should all chill out, take a break, have a few beers, get some sun, wait for things to take their course, and be all ready and refreshed for a new round of ultimate disappointment in around ten weeks time. Happy summer guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm not excited at all yet because at the moment it may just be more of the same next season. Once we sign players that will make a difference I will be buzzing for the first pre season games to come round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticOwl Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I am enjoying a few weeks of not thinking about it tbh. I need a break from all this emotion lol. But I know at some point this will turn into frustration with the lack of football soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy summer guys. This...only I'm in my mid thirties. Cricket and Rugby League for the summer although not a big follower of the Rugby. I always know when the football season starts (along with the pile of dross that starts on ITV) its coming to winter and winter is always god awful and depressing.

Who knows?! disappointment of the whole season i think, mainly boring football and the frustrations of injuries and under performers but yet we still made the play offs, amazing really so we should be buzzing yet most seem quite sombre, sums up how our expectations have changed i guess, hope CC makes some shrewd signings, changes the game approach especially at home and the likes of Hooper and Abdi can stay relatively injury free then we may get back that feel good factor.

Lombardo Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I tell myself this.... BUT I still log into OT every day to check out the gossip, see if we have any signings and review all the rumours.....even watched part of a MLS game the other day....not missed it at all!!!!! Are England playing on Saturday???? Can't wait for the fixtures to come out and start trying to watch the rubbish feeds of meaningless pre-season games. New shirt, when it is available, and renewed optimism...God I miss it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
