Spoilt ...... maybe the mood is currently the way it is because a lot of new or younger fans have been spoilt with Albion in the ascendancy for the last couple of decades, we have by and large been better than villa, better than blues and we have totally owned the black country with dominance in abundance in the BCD..
Most things since Sir Gary have gone well, they may not be used to the dire 80's and early 90's, and although the yoyo tag has gone we are still the nearly men in cup competitions, how many semis and quarter finals since 78 without one meaningful final (play offs not included due to nature of only four participants).
Mild success breeds massive expectations, look to England and competitions for proof of over expectations after mild victories leading to broken dreams, we all want titles, cups and maybe even euro glory, I hate the current champions league format by the way, but that is not always possible for clubs on our resources, and the system is currently set up to preserve the status quo.
So let's be thankful we are not bluenoses, dingles or worse, seals, let's all laugh at vile and hope our continued growth and improvement brings the football and success that we all crave.
