Dinho lad

Yeah, we're still fully supporting Rafa.

Fuck sake, was looking forward to seeing the continuty in this part of the team. Hopefully Schar will slot seemlessly in.

God yes, I can see what you mean, sorry. Totally uncalled for. Retrospective bans for the above. You clearly tried to twist how it looked, little fucker. Dokko, no grudges, just an example of the conformist arse covering that goes in here.

I remembered something which then made me realise what a little liar Wullie is.

Wullie will need it.

How can you be bitter? When we pushed men forward they counter-attacked us to death. If we had done that from the beginning then we would have been fucked. It was an excellent game plan but the execution was just short. If we had held out for five more minutes, they would have had to push up and who knows what could happen. We certainly weren't going to beat them going head on. Did you watch them dominate against Man Utd? And the season isn't over yet, beat Everton next week and we still might sneak top four. How can you be bitter? When we pushed men forward they counter-attacked us to death. If we had done that from the beginning then we would have been f***ed. It was an excellent game plan but the execution was just short. If we had held out for five more minutes, they would have had to push up and who knows what could happen. We certainly weren't going to beat them going head on. Did you watch them dominate against Man Utd? Absolutely. They had already just subbed Dzeko on seconds before they scored. If we could have held on for 5 or 10 more minutes who knows what may have happened with the space they were bound to conceed at the back in search of a breakthrough. I don't think we have to feel sorry for ourselves at all. We've had a brilliant season and held strong today. We were just beaten by a better side, one that was assembled at an unreal cost too. How can you be bitter? When we pushed men forward they counter-attacked us to death. If we had done that from the beginning then we would have been f***ed. It was an excellent game plan but the execution was just short. If we had held out for five more minutes, they would have had to push up and who knows what could happen. We certainly weren't going to beat them going head on. Did you watch them dominate against Man Utd? No, I didn't want us to go gun-ho and attack them from the off. But I felt we could have found a better balance between containment and attack. (i,e, against Man Utd) Anyway, it's not as if Man City aren't good at winning tight games. Just a bit disappointed in our approach to the game, we proved all season that we can spring a surprise or two. Don't think our players looked that comfortable out there playing cautiously for that long. City are brutal though. Aguero, Tevez and Nasri can slice teams apart. You have to keep in mind that Manchester United could offer nothing against them earlier this week. We have over-achieved all season and whilst we have a lot of heart (probably more than any of the top five teams), playing against world class players is never going to be easy. Wullie is a little 'man' who fooled you fuckers. A little 'man', ffs. And those were just the posts that I was quoted in. There were still other posts, that were not necessarily at me but still addresses the same point. It's clear to see what the general feelings were pre and post match. (We gonna thrash them, yaaaaaaay! Oh shit, nah they're good side, fool!) Wullie, go and get your backside spanked. Dave is ready. Thanks for wasting my time.... again.

Yeah, but it's relevant.

Never happened. I'm glad we were able to clear things up though. Clearly never.

Mitro out for 20m and Rondon in for reasonable fee would not be a bad as a direct comparison and business for the club. But obviously there's more to it than that when MA is your owner.

I wasted my time answering them back then, and I'm not going to waste my time fetching them now. If they weren't in the match thread, it might have been carried on elsewhere in other threads.

I'm not upset, it's nothing more than your interpretation. I'm highlighting it because nowadays it seems that every time someone expresses an opinion that's that doesn't 'fit in', people get slagged off by those certain sections of the forum. Pathetic, childish and petty. Not to mention cowardly (as people relay on each other for back up knowing that support is not too far away for them). I remember before we played Man City at SJP (0-2 Yaya brace), most people on here were very confident about us getting a result and there was a feeling in the air of almost arrogance about it. After the match, I expressed my opinion that was along the lines that Pardew's tactics were too cautious and that we should have done better by playing a more attacking game. Needless to say, the majority of the usual members jumped on me stating things among the lines "it's Man City, man", "they're champions", blah blah blah, etc. Clearly, the following season, which we then knew more about Pardew, showed that I was well and truly right in criticising him (irrelevant how good a season we had - something which most people clearly were blinded by!). It was that day that I thought the majority of fuckers on here are nothing more than conformists who adopt the same opinion as the 'popular' members on here for one reason or another - mainly because they're ball-less to express an opinion that might 'stand out'. And it's not an anonymous forum for many, I've been here, and around previous NUFC boards, for nearly two decades now - hardly something that's not important when it comes to the online experience. Anyway, am I not invited to the barbeque or what? You made only two post match posts and got two replies. This is your entire exchange after that match: How can you be bitter?

You've been carrying that chip round on your shoulder for six years. No, I haven't been carrying around a chip on my shoulder for six years - just that it didn't bother me until recently. And I'm sure there was more exchanges made, perhaps in other threads. Anyway, why aren't I surprised that it was you that brought up the old posts? Seems to be your job. I wonder how many times in the past you visited old posts only to find that they didn't fit your agenda and were ignored?

Grammar was too casual imo Oh wow, so I made mistake as I was typing too quickly. Fucking hell, kids - you laughed so much that you'll certainly be getting a good night's sleep tonight! Typos are our chief source of laughs, it's true. People have been buried for less - myself included - so it seemed odd it had escaped 3 pages without comment. There was no malice in my post. They didn't notice it because the forum members were like this as I unleashed the truth:

Strange post. I clearly mentioned that the problem with 'hierarchy' here (yes, it's universal, thanks for that fact) is that twats on here take it too far by sticking their chest out and basking, as they know their friends are around. I'm not sure why you had to jump in and declare yourself as not one of them 'cool kids' - did anyone say that you were? What's with the insecurity about that? As I said, quite strange that you had to jump in with your defense. I think it's clear where I am going with this. You get your panties in a bunch over nonsense on a forum, and then absolutely overstate said nonsense. I find that extremely strange that you have a martyr fetish for this. So talk about insecurity then... Stop repeating yourself.

If you don't see it, it's because you're burying your head in the sand, fella.

No, it's because it's a convenient example for you.

Anyway, am I not invited to the barbeque or what? a fine example of artificial cross bearing... People like geordiedean got slagged off not because of some cabal of cool kids on the forum, but because their opinions were just embarrassingly absurd. Stop treating them like profiles in courage. I didn't mention anyone in particular, but well done for mentioning someone that clearly provides no rationale or logic behind their opinion - it nearly worked!

Oh, ffs!

Well this is laughable. Can’t wait to chat about it with Dokko and KI down the social later. I'm sure KI would love that. PS: What should i wear? Don't want to get over dressed, but don't want to look like a hillbilly either. Also jacket or no jacket? Its so hot, but been raining on and off....decisions decisions... Just such a daft fucking comment to shoehorn into this particular situation, if it was Deuce and Mike on the other side then fair enough. I'll say whatever needs to be said - as if this is going to impact what's going on outside of it!

I must be one of the most frequent new page wanker on here.

Rattled!

And in real life?

Obviously there is a group of members here that the forum 'evolves' around, and are friendly with each other outside this forum, and so displaying any sign of disrespect to them is a grave, grave sin. They are like pack of wolves, if one is attacked the others jump in to 'defend' that one. (Except they're not intimidating; more like pathetic playground kids that need each other for support.)
