Where?

Eeeeesh. That's lbw

Makes sense like, pound has devalued

We've seen this so many times before and there's a lot of wishful thinking on here. Whenever Ashley is concerned, very rarely has there been no smoke without fire. He's a proven liar and cheat. The notion that he's somehow bought into the project or been won over by the excitement and positivity surrounding the club is, in my opinion, delusional optimism.

I'm not convinced Rafa will resign yet - I think he does feel a bond and still believes in the idea of his project - but if we're at the end of July with very little progress in the transfer market, I have no doubt that he will make a very calculated decision involving the value of his reputation, the minimum level of respect and commitment he demands and his realistic view on the squad's potential vs the kinship I believe he feels for the club and the fanbase, the belief of whether he can whether a storm at boardroom level until there is a takeover/sufficient unrest that he can harness it to his advantage and the reality of other available positions in England.

My reluctant conclusion is that, absent 3-4 signings over the next month, he will resign with his reputation and employability intact rather than become involved in a sideshow boardroom-politics dispute. I hope I'm wrong, but I have no doubt that he's mighty hacked off because a promise has been broken (yet again).

My weirder ones are:

We share the same royal selangor shirt.

Can't say i've even heard of FBT.

They make the Cambodian national football jersey. Otherwise they're a badminton specialist.

He's got a sign coming out of his head

Take me now you chorizo munching goateed man God

People who pretend to support teams abroad for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Even more so when it's Celtic and Rangers.

 

Agreeing with you aal owa the shop. Using 'we' because you went there on holiday once.

 

Know a lad who claims to support Bayern Munich. You don't mate.

Aaaarrgghh my melt of a friend supports Real Sociedad because he went to San Sebastián on his honeymoon. Legitimately uses "we" to describe them gets properly agitated if they lose. Wears that fucking xavi Prieto jersey every day and all.

No sympathy whatsoever remembering how they went on last year and have done since. Get fucked you morlocks.

Imagine how sweet it would be to have Villa gift us the title.

 

Whilst remaining in the u bend. Be sweet as.

Lansbury winner would basically be the fairytale.

Norwich so far this season have scored and conceded the 3rd most amount of goals in the Championship.

Thank you kindly

Would rather the title is won by them today rather than giving us hope for next weekend and then us getting p*ssed off with Villa rolling over for them or us to concede a last minute goal to lose it. Would be happy today  as mackems have already made it a near-perfect season.

No

Ref might as well put a Brighton shirt on

 

Most 50/50 decisions have gone to Brighton.

In keeping with the season then. They'll get their inevitable penalty and cue Sky hubris.

The festering, dusty nugget has finally been flushed.

I'm at a 4. Feeling engaged with the club and going to more games in the flesh than I have done for years created some

Great memories and trips. Having a manager we all respect and rate has been so refreshing and enjoyable and remains a novelty. I've also loved watching an organised and disciplined, tactically astute (most of the time) team manage games sensibly. On the other hand, I've hated knowing that fans of downtrodden, fallen sides want to scratch at our heels like zombies and drag us down to their level, week in, week out. The pressure has been so palpable in that regard. I'm disappointed that so few holdover players from last year I expected to smash the league (Mitrovic, Perez, Mbemba in the main) have not kicked on. We have of course been unduly negative at times and thrown away points needlessly on too many occasions. But on the whole it's been another refreshing year of re-engaging with club and community.

I thought Dummett played well but otherwise what a bottle job.

I don't care how it happens, just win the game and get over the small stutter of poor/indifferent results. Crossing the 80-point barrier is massive in my opinion, puts the end goal very much in sight.

This smells like a heartbreaking 0-1

Just found out the Premiership season (notice I didnt say their season) doesn't  finish till two weeks after the championship season so there may be no chance for enjoying their hopeful demise in our ground.

Enjoy it from a chartered plane

I'm not sure that many of them can cope with that many words. "The bantz" is still the most cutting. A rapier-like insult.

There's more Newcastle fans than Sunderland fans so by 'not enough off us' I assume you mean delinquents that would willingly pay money to have a plane flown over the SoS with a message "the bantz". I hope you're right in that case.

I think we should absolutely write "the bantz".

I'm definitely a mongoloid. And yes, for the sanctimony brigade, it  the as a joke; but fuck this noise about the most important thing being to maintain our collective dignity and win the moral high ground.

FFS I'm going to laud it over them when they go down. Zero shits given if it is considered by some on here to be "small time". I'm going to enjoy laughing at them like they did at us, it's just a bit of fun.

I'm gonna go punch a horse.

I think it's important we pool together and fly a plane with banner over the Crucible of Misery on their last home game as PL side. I would personally pay for someone to design a giant banner on which a cartoon magpie is defocating on the head of a black cat.

It's unreal. As soon as he makes a decision which is looking wrong it just turns into a mass suicide party. He's taken a broken club, transformed it as much as time, circumstance and financial reality could allow, looks likely to take us back up from a division that's been far tougher than we anticipated based on the easy ride we had last time and made us a proper team with a proper system. I don't get how people can't see that he's trying to simultaneously win promotion and lay the foundations for the future in terms of playing system, personnel and club. I cannot emphasise enough how much I respect and rate the job he's done in under a year. Oh, hes played a conservative team! Oh, he's not going for the jugular! Oh, we've lost a game! If we go up, he is single-handedly the reason that we aren't in the same mess as Aston Villa and have a viable future as a PL club.

I fucking love him.
