Weird phenomenon. Is it really that weird? We were fairly decent before the internet fully took hold so probably explains why it wasn't as prevalent. I'm not old enough to have experienced mckeag etc. so if people think it was worse then fair enough. But in my nufc experience this is as bad as it gets. Our owner hates us and we literally exist to make him some chump change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird phenomenon. very on brand. People have perfectly valid reasons even if you don't understand them. It's fair enough if you don't share that view of course. Fwiw I can recall wanting us to lose that Middlesbrough game when Clark scored the late equaliser. Think I'd signed up to here a few weeks beforehand so I guess forumitis and its various symptoms must've taken hold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't just about the manager though, it's about the ownership as well as the manager. I want us to lose because Bruce is fucking godawful and I want Ashley to lose everything by getting repeatedly relegated until he has to sell the club because it's the only way it'll happen. Comparing to the past (pre-internet) isn't useful imo; back then people had very few avenues down which to vent and certainly very little thought that their opinion might be able to influence things because their opinion was just that. Rightly or wrongly the internet has changed that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird phenomenon. aye social media deffo has a part to play in it, it deffo influences me anyways, but back then under Souness/fat Sam it didn't seen no where is bad as it does now, there was always some inkling of hope that things were gonna turn around... felt as a fanbase we were always singing from the same hymn sheet ... maybe not maybe I'm just looking back from rose-tinted glasses because I was only a kid.... it all started for me in 2014 I remember when we came back to draw away from Swansea I was fuming cus I thought if we where to loose pardew would get sacked and we could start progressing.... (obviously we will never progress until Ashley is gone) under McClaren I initially got behind the team, until it was clear that he was incompetent and hadn't a clue what he was doing....then rafa came and I felt like a kid again was 100% emotionally invested in the club again, knew deep down with Ashley there that it would go tits up eventually, but just having a man of his class, professionalism and quality, who had a genuine interest and care in the football club and the city, even went back to buying a Jersey each season rafa was there🙈.... but when he left it all changed for me, like a lot of people in here, when Bruce came in it just became emotionless for me now, I dont feel the anger I did with pardew, carver and McClaren its much worse I just don't feel anything bar sadness at times, especially when I flick on sky sports or motd and see rafa doing his thing at Everton, on occasion over the last 2 years I do find my self cheering when we score or win, or gaining interest but... it slowly fades.... I just can't wait when we have a new manager and new owner and we can get excited for the match at the weekend, for a new season etc, until then....

Guest neesy111 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Look, it's a Friday night and most in the crowd has had a bevvy or 2 before the match to start the weekend with and were not thinking straight with those chants.

cubaricho Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm pretty adamantly against the whole wanting us to lose sentiment but making an exception here and now, early in the season, to get rid of Bruce. I'd go winless until he's sacked, if that's what it's going to take to get rid of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
