This Clapper's Done

[Vancouver]

Every time we lose I come on here and see the same people seemingly jumping with glee that we've lost as it furthers their own agenda towards the club. I've always convinced myself that it's a mass over-reaction on their part but that all changed today with the post-match interview. After hearing the objectional shite spout from his mouth he's lost any support of mine he ever had. I've never heard such bollocks and blame-passing from someone who's job title is 'manager'. The guy seems like a spineless wanker who's happy to take the praise and equally happy to spread out the blame when something doesn't work.

How we all wish McCabe hadn't convinced him to stay after the Play-Off final. With Blackwell in charge we're going nowhere.

Not since Robbo anyway...

Alot are coming around to your way of thinking Vancouver ,the clock is ticking for Mr Blackwell.

 

[Vancouver]

It disgusted me when I read it; if we had any 'managers' like that at our office they'd soon be out... or promoted to the top jobs

 

[Bristol Blade]

I'm another that's changed my mind today. The fact that we've lost 6 in a row away now simply isn't good enough, especially when Blackwell changes a winning team. The interview was the final straw.

as good as said yesterday the players hes brought in, on the whole were only brought in because he couldnt afford the better players so he had to settle for them. Now if i was playing for him and heard that i certainly wouldnt be uping my game and i definatly wouldnt want to play for him. Think hes an arrogant prick and i have well and truly had enough i was going to renew next season even though id probably only get to 2/3s of the matches next season at most due to a change in job which means i wont be able to get back all the time, but now i dont think i will bother. Until mccabe gets some back bone and shows me hes bothered about where this club is going why should i care. United used to be something that id look forward to and if things werent going great something to think about because i used to enjoy it that much. Now its more of a chore n having to go because i have a season ticket, which it shouldnt be like that. I feel exactly how i did when nobbo was here.
feel like the gd times at bramall lane are now coming to an end and i for one am fucking gutted.

Didn't hear the interview as on the way back from Palace but I can just imagine what he was saying. The perfortmance was abject. No passion, no heart, no pace, no skill.

The tied has definitely turned against him at lets hope this arrogant speciman decides to go because McCabe hasn't got the balls to sack him.

To make matters worse yesterday just as another United pass went straight for a palace throw in at 16:06 I got a text from United about renewing my season ticket.

I have had a season ticket since 1970/71 season but I am now wavering. If he Blackwell goes I will be down to Bramall Lane as soon as my little legs will carry me. If he stays then I am seriously thinking about not going...and I never thought I would think that.

 

[Blade]

I also haven't heard the interview but it sounds similiar to every one he ever gives. very very rarely will he even suggest that he may be at fault. of course the players he's brought in have been 2nd choice, given the real cash he'd have signed jon parkin for £8m.

Toronto, we were dire at Palace.
1 shot on goal and I recall 1 corner.
Never won the 50/50 balls.
I have not seen a display like that for many a year.
So disappointing.
We are going nowhere I am sad to say.
Would love to be proved wrong but I cannot see us making a play off place, never mind winning it.
Still we have a team to support

I'll not be home until the Donny game and I've got it in my head that D-Day is appropriately Donny.

I've just about had enough, but i'm prepared to give it 3 more games...

 

[super_pig]

d day will be against the pigs.. but i get your point

 

[SwissBlade]

d day will be against the pigs.. but i get your point

My reckoning is that by the time we play the pigs Blackie will have sorted it out OR he'll be gone....but I fear neither

 

[super_pig]

welcome to the dark side.. between us we will defeat the emperor

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

My reckoning is that by the time we play the pigs Blackie will have sorted it out OR he'll be gone....but I fear neither

My fear is that it is us that will be sorted out that day.

 

[SwissBlade]

My fear is that it is us that will be sorted out that day.

Really? I doubt it, they're much way way way worse than us..... so you're probably right

 

[Ted Danson]

Got to agree with Vancouver on this one, Ive been defending Blacky as much as anyone but couldnt believe what I was hearing in that interview. If I hadnt heard it I would probably still be of the oppinion that he could sort it out but now Ive lost all faith in him and his ability to motivate the team. In past interviews I've felt he was justified and the excuses he was giving were valid but he didnt even bother with excuses just basically said all the players were shit and we had no chance.

Il still be renewing my ST though, Im just a glutten for punishment.
