Roy's View From... View From The Media

[Rufus Smalls]

It’s great having a re-read of those quotes, cheers Roy !

The day I take the opinion of Scott fucking Minto and Stan Collymore seriously is the day I start watching Love Island

UTB !!

Wheres Steve Nicol? Does he have social media? I'm usually against trolling but on this occasion I'm giving myself a free pass to purge him.

Nicol also goes on to say that "when teams realise they're in big trouble, they immediately sack the manager"

So I'm guessing Villa, Norwich and Bournemouth have all done this!?!

Some lack of insight and ignorance into us there but I don't think many neutrals would have backed us to stay up.

And I'm extremely confident that none of us fans would have predicted many of us feeling a little deflated after being on 44 points after 31 games

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

In fairness there were plenty on here that had us going down too and we should have had more faith and better knowledge.
I had no idea what to expect myself and think I voted 16th in the poll that came round. No way did I see us in anything other than being in and around the bottom few teams so colour me similar to some of these lot. That said no one pays me money to be knowledgeable about teams, styles of play etc. so maybe I’ve got an excuse.

oh and by the way we’ll be down there in the predictions for some again next season just so that doesn’t come as a shock to anyone!!

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Got to admit if you where to asked me preseason which teams outside the big 6 I thought where 100% safe from relegation I would struggle.
And if I was put on the spot to pick 3 teams most likely to go down, I would probably go for the three newly promoted sides,
But then again the day this game ever becomes that predictable is the day football dies ....

I love this from Steve Nicol

" “I don’t think it’s a difficult decision (to choose them for relegation), if you’re gonna have your centre backs turning up in oppositions box in The Premier League you’re gonna get annihilated. "

Nope!

Steve fucking Nicol doesn't even know what colours we play in!

 

[BarcaBlade]

It would appear unless your players are already well known they can't possibly have any quality

That's why Spurs got thumped yesterday. I'd hardly heard of any of their players.
Always slightly chuckle-worthy when the commentators are repeatedly saying that Spurs have more quality on paper. What the chuff is that ever supposed to mean?

This is just teasing us until the big guns (Wednesday fans predictions) are rolled out.

It means they write their team sheets on Basildon Bond writing paper.

“I don’t think it’s a difficult decision (to choose them for relegation), if you’re gonna have youre centre backs turning up in oppositions box in The Premier League you’re gonna get annihilated. I would say there are three managers who are in danger, I think the obvious one is Chris Wilder at Sheffield United.Teams that come up, as soon as they realise they’re in big trouble the first thing they do is change the manger.”

Steve Nicol, ESPN

Well that just shows how much he knows about us!!!!

He who laughs last, laughs longest.

They think we're a joke now but I reckon it will be us laughing at them come next May

I know I'm being a bit self indulgent but I'm well pleased with these comments given that I'm a self confessed knows nowt.

Only word I got wrong was "May" but how was I to know last August that we would suffer a global pandemic?

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

I can only thank all the " experts " who predicted relegation for us. They enabled me to get odds of 6/4 that we would stay up, and a lumpy bet that will have paid for the family`s four season ticket renewals.
