Not sure about players but corporate and club staff have to pay for them

Time for some over confidence, i think we'll beat arsenal and finish 5th. Don't know why but i have a weird feeling we'll take arsenal to penalties and win, and in the league i quite fancy our run in compared to Hull and Wrexham's. So now i've said that we'll be hammered by Arsenal and lose to Oxford and Norwich

My favourite bullshit term is "aerial duals" as if we've got a fucking spitfire and messerschmitt hovering over the pitch. I'm honestly convinced that the rise of this MBA speak in football is so posh folk can justify liking the game and getting to make out it's "actually intelligent and complex", instead of just 22 blokes kicking a ball around. Bit fucking hurtful that mush, i'll have to report you to the FAB grass line for being sizeist, another period in the gulags it is for you

I am supposed to be meeting him at Coventry station on Saturday, I am now concerned that when i step off the rattler instead of being greeted by @Noodles34 I shall instead be met by The FAB's armed Stazi wing ready to bundle me into a re-education gulag. Scary times

Ticket touting AND encouraging a breach of ground regulations? @Noodles34 will be sending your post to FAB as we speak as i heard that as part of his plea deal he agreed to be this board's resident grass.

The Northam Wall was always going to be bollocks, the people saying that though got shot down by the zealots who refused to listen to criticism of it.

I can't believe there are people against this, it's a massive improvement on SOCCERBALL and keeps the excitement going for the end of the series. The London Hornets vs Derbyshire Rams would be prime time viewing in match week 49! Hopefully they schedule the game day for a late evening kick off so the world doesn't miss out

With time and persistence they'll achieve their final dream goal. Every game a bubble game.

I mean as someone who knows what happened with Fonte, directly from the horses mouth, i can tell you for nothing that is absolute bollocks. The person responsible for Fonte leaving was Fonte, with some nudging from his agent. He acted like a dick and didn't give the club a choice. But it's fine you blame Puel who had nothing to do with it. That was such a relief that goal, genuinely felt like we'd never win again, up there with Barry Horne's goal for one of the biggest "release" moments i've seen from a crowd at a game I take it you don't go away?

And this is where my "puel was good" and "ralph should've been sacked" align. Puel 8th and a cup final which was lost by a bad decision, beat inter milan at home & played some brilliant counter attacking football away from home is roundly thought of by many as shit. Ralph who lost 9-0 twice and never got us higher than 11th or into a cup final is somehow a messiah who only didn't achieve domination because of things out of his control. Surely clapping at the fans can't make that much of a difference?

Which reminds me of another... Ralph should've been sacked immediately after the first 9-0 as a point of principle that that level of failure wasn't acceptable at the club

this reminds me of another one actually, The word "legend" is massively overused by fans because we are so starved of real legends. Since Le Tissier we have only had one, Ricky Lambert, that fits the profile.

As a team we are completely irrelevant to 99% of the teams in the leagues, and that is absolutely fine. Claude Puel was a very good manager for us and even the "boring football" tag wasn't correct. JWP is a skate and will never be a legend. Our away support is pretty cringeworthy these days. Silence at a game is preferable to a lot of the songs that are sung (stared in a chapel, songs about libraries, most songs about the skates). To many of our fans take football WAY too seriously, it should be a laugh with your mates not an exercise in stat counting. The way away tickets are dished out is completely wrong, it should be season ticket holders + x aways first, then members + x aways, until it gets down to general sale. As a fanbase we have a losers mentality & will put up with glorious loses far too easily. The fans singing about championship again ole ole ole last season are part of the problem with what's gone wrong at the club, if we don't show ambition & standards why do we expect the players to? David Armstrong is one of the best players to ever play for the club and should be held up on the same level as many of our legends
