Going by these boards in the last few years i've come to the conclusion that being a fan of SUFC is either a symptom or cause of manic depression. I for one appear to be afflicted.
The wiki describes the symptoms of manic-depression as follows:
'Bipolar disorder or manic–depressive disorder, also referred to as bipolar affective disorder or manic depression, is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive episodes. The elevated moods are clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes, or symptoms, or a mixed state in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time.[2] These events are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood; but, in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid cycling. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations.'

On a serious note I do think that we need to get some perspective on the season so far. I've decided to get back to the tried a tested judge our progress after ten games approach.
