Great podcast.
I listened to it in two halves on different days, and the arc pretty much matched my own processing.
That said, I thought I was low when I started it, but bloody hell, I wanted to take Paul out for a pint and a packet of crisps during that first 20 minutes!
The anger and the acceptance were also in there, so in reply to the question, do people really want to listen to these unpacking-of-the-misery podcasts, honestly, yes we do. Personally, I find it cathartic, mate.
As a final point, I was also duped by the romance of Barcelona: in a world of cynicism and commercialism, in 2008-12 or something like that, they seemed to be a glimmer of hope.
I now hate Barca more than I hate Madrid, and that is saying something. It stems from the duplicitous outward-facing masquerade. "More than a club" - yeah, alright.
Més que un club = masquerade.
