mrmojorisin75 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Clubs that put out weak teams in the past have been fined, so whats changed? i actually understand this to an extent, the difference with us is that good managers use it as an opportunity to get the fringe players to prove something instead of sending them out as lambs to the slaughter for mikes balance sheet we can't play the same 11 players in every single match, change is to be expected, it should never be used as a default excuse not to try winning games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The 'actively don't compete in competitions' myth is getting a bit out of control like. Quarter finals of a European competition last year and took the eventual league cup winners to extra time this season. The FA Cup performance over the last few years can't be excused, of course. The lack of ambition is absolutely disgusting at present, but worst it's ever been? Hadaway Professional emos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Guys, you should all just ignore any football stuff happening today and do other things. The hapless mugs in charge of us will only make you more angry, as their hopeless transfer attempts fail at every turn. Fuck em. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've been a fan 21 years and this is the worst period by far. It's the only time supporting the club where I've become almost totally apathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've said priority is the league, not the cups. That doesn't mean to say they are ordering Pardew to throw away matches in the cup. We gave Man City and Benfica very good games and you could see the effort was there from the players. To say we didn't give it a go and weren't interested in winning is nonsense. Who at St James' after 70 minutes against Cardiff thought we were going out? Looked like we were in the hat for the next round until Eliot had a mare.

KDT Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Very likely that we're the only club within the top 4 divisions to not make a permanent signing all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lose boo, badder day on the drink and another season of bollocks from them lot. It's an utterly meaningless game outside of that. That's what it's become. Yours sincerely, professional emo.

I don't think we're throwing games purposely but we've came out and said the cups will be used for team building, I would constitute that as actively not competing tbh.

NG32 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think Ashley has really dropped a bollock this time. I can accept that we have to sell players at times, every club does but to sell your prize asset with nothing planned is just plain crazy and reckless. This has been done on to many occasions now to be bad timing, unforseen bid, to much money to refuse, victims of bigger clubs. Nah, we always sell before we buy and only bring in loans to cover the gaps. We really are being run on the bare minimum, you can only take this policy so far before people get really hacked off with it and I think we have almost reached that point.

If we were remotely competitve in the league you could easily excuse using the cups for that. As we're not bothered about competing in anything it's somewhat galling.

Rocker Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 No reason we shouldn't have a player literally waiting to sign as we've got one going out the door. The moment we knew Cabaye was gone for sure, we should've had the next player signing on the dotted line. They're all a bunch of cunts and crooks.
