Emotions running all over the place

Well its 10:15pm here in Israel, the weekend is over and as a Hull City fan the season 2015/2016 is officially over and I can happily say Hull City are Premier League once again.

Its been a season of high tension and drama and in a season which I believed we would go straight back up after last seasons relegation from the Premier League, I never thought it would go to Wembley having been in such a good position early in the year.  They talk about the curse of the Manager of the Month award and I think its true as the moment Steve Bruce was awarded that and Abel Hernandez received player of the month, it seems our form became inconsistent and poor and having been top of the Championship we slipped into the play offs.  A position I can say I would not want to be in as it comes down to 3 more games if your lucky.

Lucky we were a 3-0 win in the first leg against Derby meant by all rights we were safely heading to the final, but an inconsistent and quite frankly dreadful performance put City fans on edge and certainly kept everyone on the edge of their seats.  But we pulled through and Wembley we are there.

And today, I spent the 90 minutes sat in a bar in Tel Aviv watch the television, sadly not even able to be in the country to watch my team fight to get back to where we belong.  Its a hard thing watching and not being able to do anything, so many emotions going through my mind as I felt and played every kick in my mind.  When the 72 minute happened and we scored what would be the winning goal I celebrated and then sagged in relief.  To be a football fan is not easy and I can honestly say the moment the final whistle blew I shed a tear of relief and joy.

In some ways the emotion of today in a football game is how I feel with my own life at the moment, a lot of frustration going on, with the direction of my life, but I feel a sense of hope and a little happiness that this move on Tuesday to Ramat Gan is a new start, a new chapter.  So just like Hull City soon to be starting a new chapter in the Premier League, my move is a new chapter of a book that is still be written.
