I think I prefer United in the closed season we seem to play better football and win more games ........

Why do you boo at your neighbours and call them cunts, it is not very neighbourly. I'm mildly perturbed at one of my neighbours who refused to sign for an amazon parcel for me for reasons only known to herself, but i don't boo her or call her a cunt.

I consider it a pre-emptive strike.
 
I boo fans that boo , as they are being shit fans with no staying power
they arent supporting to their best ability
they arent fit to wear the shirt

same arguments they use
I cant be wrong its their logic

No I haven't, but then I wouldn't dream of telling other people that I'm a better supporter than they are.
Especially if I'm watching on tv.

So what happens if they are wearing a singlet, v-neck sweater, pull over or a nice cable-knit arran jumper, are they fit to wear those instead?
 
Fans are like people in any other walk of life really, some are good some are bad and some are just stupid but the most stupid are those that think all fans are the same and not an individual ....

I had a parcel from Amazon today while I was out ,and I got a text saying it was at number 9 signed for by Vicky. There isn't a number 9 ,never heard of Vicky and it was left in the porch.

I'm not sure I buy this. Not fully at least.

The players of 20 years or so ago might have had some superficial chest-thumping (badge-kissing) passion but they'd also go out on the piss.

To make it in the modern game requires for many a huge level of commitment and from a very early age.

All sports seem to have lost their characters, and maybe the prototype of this was Steve Davis.

Now, in snooker, the top 16, top 32, more maybe, practise eight hours a day, sip their glasses of water, and would annihilate anyone from Davis's era.

I just don't buy the line that the players don't care or aren't trying because if they didn't or weren't they'd be miles off the pace.

We have our shortcomings, but, for me, application is not one of them.

Whenever this lack of effort idea comes up I ask: Who exactly in the first team squad isn't trying?

I think we lack mobility in CM, and maybe increasingly, confidence.

The confidence thing is a vicious circle and I think that needs breaking. But how? It might be dumb luck that does it.

I think you make a very valid point about the change in the level of day to day application and professionalism that is required these days. Yes, those players went on the piss but they weren’t so obscenely paid to dedicate their entire lives to the game and that was a reflection of the industry as a whole. I don’t think it’s as black and white as trying and not trying. I think it’s about matching or exceeding the levels of dedication and professionalism of your peers to gain every advantage possible. So whilst players might be trying to some degree, we still often seem outworked by the opposition which is really disappointing.


There’s been plenty of talk of the likes of DdG, McNulty, Baxter etc living a lifestyle which is not conducive to being a successful professional footballer. Coutts’ lack of movement in games suggests he is not as fit as he ought to be. Flynn lacks bravery in 50/50 challenges. Adams is a bit too languid for my liking, has already been disciplined once and looks like he might be carrying a bit more weight than he should be. There’s been rumours of McGahey scrapping in town. I think it’s perfectly justified to question the commitment of some of these players. There are some (notably Sharp, Brayford, JCR, Basham and Collins) who really seem to care and look passionate about the game when they are playing but they should be the rule rather than the exceptions.


So whilst physical conditioning in Bassett’s day wasn’t what it is now, those players, comparative to their peers, were harder working, braver, more passionate etc. in my opinion.


There’s also the team spirit. Bassett’s sides and Warnock’s seemed to have a real camaraderie which helped the team to be more than the sum of it’s parts. I don’t see that when I look at this group. I see individuals rather than a team.


It’s also worth noting that Bassett’s squad was a cheaply assembled rag tag bunch punching above it’s weight because of their guts and spirit. Our current lot are better paid than most of their opponents but so often come up short and I don’t believe ability is the reason
 
Well, what I have learned from reading this thread is:-


1. Avatars may or may not be offensive depending on the intent behind the avatar but to be on the safe side, it is better to be offended by an avatar in case there is an offensive intent. Maybe.


2. Pete has been appointed as a Judge. Maybe.


3. Blade Too Long likes to use the logic of people he doesn’t agree with to rubbish their opinions but has a hissy fit when people do it to him (player who didn’t get promotion cannot be missed ergo we didn’t miss Borbokis, Fjortoft, Holdsworth, Stuart, Devlin, Bent, Brown, Beattie, Walker, Naughton, Lowton, Maguire, Murphy, McDonald, Blackman, Quinn etc).


4. Nigel Adkins needs to have his xmas party today if we are to have any chance of winning tomorrow.


5. Despite having polar opposite views, barny and BTL are both equally ridiculous.



What I hope to learn from future threads is


1. What is the real meaning behind Sitwell’s Avatar?


2. Will barny continue to be offended when we find out?


3. Is there a level we can sink to that sees BTL allow criticism?


4. Is there a manager we could appoint that barny would be willing to give more than a few weeks?

I find your inference that there's women on the interwebz offensive and I request, nay demand that you retract that statement.

You're lucky my therapist can fit me in to help my extreme anxiety otherwise there may have been an argument on the internet.
