Why do I always get so nervous before a game?

Post: # 763954Post fingers »

I mean i expect us to win today - but there is always tat little doubt. What if?
It's Sunday morning and I was up at 7.40 am because I had to visit the bathroom. It doesn't make sense.

Anyway - it's been 2 long weeks since I've seen our beloved Saints. Can't wait. Hope to see some of you guys there.

Enjoy the ride - Go Saints!

no nerves today
im off to the shop for milk and the paper
then out into the yard for some whipper snipping and a bit of chainsawing.
then around 2ish its inside to light the fire, boil the kettle and kick back in the beanbag with a roaring fire going

no nerves what-so-ever today.
easy win.

I'm nervous as well only. It doesn't make sense as we should romp in. Perhaps its because I have a friend who is a mad Tiger and I have been giving it to him (after many years of him doing the same :D

I envy Saints supporters who can logically & confidentally say "No problems today - easy" I wish I could do it - have I been scarred from the past once to often? :shock:

I'm nervous too! Doesn't matter who we are playing... i get the butterflies.... right up until the bounce of the ball! I usually can't eat before the game because of my nerves.


Go saints in '09!

Although i'm confident that we SHOULD win quite comfortably today, there is always a feeling that makes me never say that any win is a certainty, you still need to earn your wins in any sport and at any level of competition... they beauty of sport i guess

I guess we just gotta ride it out and hopefully come home with 4 pts and more importantly no injuries or suspensions.
