I have to hand it them, they did it. They sucked me back in.
Apart from my absolute favourite teams (Warriors, All Blacks), I'm a bit of a temperamental supporter. Sport is a two way street, where the team has to show you as much love as you put out there for them. This doesn't just mean they have to perform well, it means they have to care as deeply as you do about the team. Winning almost isn't as important as knowing that the management has you in mind and the players aren't mailing in their performances just to collect their match fee.
