Are you neither a nay-sayer nor a clappist? You're not a boo-boy, with slip-on shoes ready for a car park protest, but you're not exactly a fully paid-up member of the Blackwell Appreciation Society either. Are you the Lib Dem of fandom, happy to be the middle of the road?

Are you getting to the stage where you are losing faith in the club in general, and just want the whole thing to be better, but don't either know or indeed give a monkey's about how it happens?

Are your passions now diluted, watered down by the years, and by the need or desire to spend your hard-earned elsewhere, somewhere, anywhere but following United?

Would you rather go to B&Q than Scunny away? Rather decorate than go to Cardiff?

Are you sick of your love of the stripes not being shown by the well-paid custodians of our beloved colours?

You are? Then welcome to Club Meh, where those of us who like to sit on the fence like to say, proudly and with great glee, our mantra of "Fuck it, it's not that important any more, I won't let it put my blood pressure sky-high anymore, I've had enough of those ponces on the pitch who don't care like we fans do" and other key phrases.

Are you now a bigger fan of the banter in the pub before and after the match than the game itself? Club Meh is for you!

Lost your passion, the fire and brimstone that you once had, slowly eroded by a succession of piss-poor matches and abject performances? Club Meh is the answer. After all, it's only a game. Isn't it?

Yep that's about the size of it.

Is there an option for being a little bit of each of the "camps", rather than having a particular side and sticking to it regardless but getting incredibly fed up of all the abuse, bullshit and reactionary shitstorms and wondering why bother with a number of things?

You are a mod, you can add any options you like. I don't care. Meh.

I think he's wondering why he should bother keeping the forum going to be honest.

Is Foxy actually McCabe ?

Because, despite the shit-storms from some members who refuse to accept the existence of viewpoints that clash with theirs there are some members of this forum who firmly believe that it is still head and shoulders above the rest, and we do appreciate the hard work that goes into it.

This thread was started more as a light hearted piss take, rather than a deep and meaningful insight into the whys and wherefores of support.

I'm definitely a 'meh' at the moment. I don't let it bother me anymore although the missus is fuming I've chosen to go to the game instead of taking her away for the first free weekend she's had in about 9 months :thumbup:

Carn't be a meh with such a positive attitude as that
COYRAWW.

I'm definately a bit meh towards Blackwell but not towards the club. Its the Blades I support not any particular individual in charge who frustrates me.

When times are bad I can see the advantage of watching the game in a pub with friends and saving some money especially when times are hard , but rather decorate ?, you must be joking

 

[Oreyt]

I convince myself i'm well 'Meh' until the whiney Swiney consultant at work wanders over and starts winding me up. When I'm just about ready to kick his teeth off i know things are back to normal.

Logos for your club?

I think he's wondering why he should bother keeping the forum going to be honest.

As we are continually told, the forum promotes people having their own opinions.

Yes sometimes it is boring and tedious reading the same things, but sometimes this is case with any forum - not just a football one.

The majorioty of the negative posters are more than happy to divulge why they have grievances. Some of them go quite in depth (people with too much time on their hands).

So I don't see why he would think of not keeping it going because the people involved are only doing what the forum promotes,
