[blade too long]

You're unbelievable.

were you there in div 4 ?
or still enjoying your boxing day win

 

[UnitedBlade]

The front of a frolicking gazelle.

Did you sell your elephant in the end then ?

 

[Barney]

were you there in div 4 ?

Too young luckily, but that bares absolutely no resemblance to where we are now.

 

[Harry's Game]

Mine is based on the fact we were even worse in the early eighties nbut the support stayed strong
we actually did get relegated to div 4 but there was nothing like this level of unadulterated bile

again long in the tooth I dont blame all fans , just those in huber negative mode

I remember the fan base of the 80's well, I remember Reg Brearly having to call a meeting of the fans to tell us we could not survive with crowds of 8,000.

How many are we getting now?

I think the support is infinitely better now then it was then

 

[blade too long]

true it was far lower

 

[PeteBlade]

Did you sell your elephant in the end then ?

No the guy never turned up! Offering the gazelle and elephant as a package deal if you're interested?

 

[blade too long]

in bare attendance numbers , it is
in support ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So you're basing your opinion on what we might have done 30 years ago?

And like an ex girlfriend, I'm sure you're looking back on those times and only remembering the good as it suits your argument.

OK, I'll swap you for my season ticket

 

[Harry's Game]

So what is your point then? Please don't tell me the crowds are any less patient now than they were then, there were car park protests to get Porterfield out and he won two promotions for us.

what do people base their opinions on who moan
the play offs in the past
the selling players years ago
managers weve had in the past
that suits your argument

We sold Murphy in August?

of course they were flash points
always will be

but its not flash points now
its constant day in day out negativity
thanks to modern media weve taken it to new levels of moaning

 

[blade too long]

We sold Murphy in August?

Murphy asked to leave in August , which , incidentally is still in the past

 

[PeteBlade]

How about the players we've sold this season?
The football we've watched this season?
The position we find ourselves in this season?

Is that allowed? Or should we not mention anything and have blind faith because we were once a bit shitter than this 30 years ago?

So in your rules we can't discuss ANYTHING in the past?

Which means sadly you can't reply to this message either.

my rules was you who said I was regressing
and said I shouldnt do it
I only offered the fact thats what moaners do
they never let anything go
cling on to their girlfriends like mad to use your jargon

 

[Harry's Game]

Flash points? Right...

These flash points occurred about every two years from John Harris retiring until Bassett arrived.

That would be the club's history, ethos and track record -of course it counts for nothing.

yes as no other clubs had poor managers , poor players or ever sold anyone

Your argument is so amazingly confused in not even sure if you know what the hell you're on about.

think youll find its your argument
basing things on whats happened in the past
moans used
employing Robson ... in the past
selling Maguire .. in the past
losing in play offs ,, in the past


so you can use the past but no one else can ,

 

[Hunkerby]

Statto.com have us finishing 10th this season based on long term & short term trends in form.
We would have to sign Messi & Ronaldo to get auto promotion from this position.

 

[blade too long]

its november

2 years ago with a team that lost 10 of its first 12 we made up 18 points from January after losing 3-0 at crewe
just missed the play offs but went from relegation to the brink of going up
its gob smacking how short some peoples memories are
was that a much better team, dont think so

so if a team that made the worst start in living memory can manage 23rd to 7th

seeing as long term weve never finished below 7th and only just fallen to 11th for 1 week after being in the top 8 all year .how is it feesable , purely on maths
using maths us being 10th can only be based on the last fortnight

You genuinely can't comprehend the difference in relevance of events that happened last season/this season and anecdotal evidence from the 80's?

Genuinely?

Maybe it's sunstroke or he has overdosed on Cialis.

We changed manager and completely changed our entire style of play mid season.


Did you miss that bit?
