Re: 5 straight defeats on the bounce
Happy Clapper.
Happy Clapper.
You wasn't one of the moaning fannys bed whetting.
i had two 20 somethings behind and to the side of me at Norwich, shouting absolute b*ll*cks in my ear and every other word was c*nt. "Grounds you c*nt. Davis you c*nt"
that together with gesturing to the Norwich fans the whole game.
Gimmee the oldies any day!
and?
We've also won more in Harrys 12 games than zola did in his 23, hell harry won as many in 3 as zola did. he's then shipped most of that lot out and bought in a different side. Are we were i'd like, no, but unlike the last manager or Clark im not worried despite the results as i trust the bloke knows something about football.
Just taking the piss to be honest, killed a few minutes.
You’re missing the L on 29th October when Gabby rocks up for his annual goal in a 1-0 borefest
Since I started supporting a Blues as a 9 year old we have had 3 good periods when watching Blues was fun, 1971-1979, 1993 -1996 and 2002 - 2011. All the rest has been largely poor or nondescript. For me the problem so far this season has been the high expectation that a corner has been turned only to find we are going deeper into the dead-end.

Getting IN to the premier league was the problem! The raucous, gallows humoured character type of fan that had been going for years was gradually priced out of the ground and replaced by new blues fans that deserted the club as soon as we were relegated. Most of the old school rough n ready type haven't come back and the newer fans are unfortunately (by and large) desperate to be in the premiership, as I think, for them, that's all football is about
Misread the post :D

Yeah, the 'gerritforward' brigade.
That wouldn't be fair, most old people don't know how to use the internet.

Bathe him in milk and honey, moisturise him with the finest Mediterranean oils money can buy, condition his hair, massage him with aloe vera and get him back on that pitch.
Don't forget the settee, they couldn't even be bothered to stand at an away game!

It's the oldies, rattling on about how good it used to be when they were rolling down muddy hills at half time, pissing in each others pockets, paying 25p for a ticket whilst being mindlessly wrecked on 3% pints of bitter, no comprehension of how the team were playing, their hands dirty and their perms stinking of cheap fags and disappointment.
They corner you at the game and waste no time in lecturing you about the amazing players that we had in the 70's and that today's lads don't stand up to them... Читать дальше...

The only thing worse than the result at Norwich were the clueless, stupid, moaning old farts behind me. 3 of them I think.
Sounded like Sunday league coaches, just with fewer brains. Blurting out unjustified criticism of our players - and just generally moaning for moanings sake.
I was in row P, seat 38 I think.
So if this was you please feel free to take as much offence as possible from this, and please refrain from attending the blues again until your boring negative outlook has changed. Читать дальше...
Harry's still getting them to gel, we'll start winning at xmas stop being a negoid.

It's really not a 'problem' - or limited to Blues. Most, if not all, football clubs have the same generational differences in fans.
I don't think we ever recovered economically from that. We ended up £16m or so in debt from that one Championship season and it was catch-up ever after. Couple that with the owners getting bored without a free ground and that relegation did more harm than anything this side of selling Trev.
Particularly galling that we were only relegated because the FA allowed Portsmouth to launder money from an Israeli arms dealer.
It's possible that there's a bit of dirt/dust behind the control knob too. Similar things happen with the volume and tone pots on the guitar from time to time. Turn 'em round a few times and if the crackle goes away, it's probably dust. If it doesn't, it isn't.
I'm going mad trying to find an issue with buzzing from certain guitars when I plug them into a Fender Blues Junior. Most of them are fine, but there's a '59 ES-225 with a couple of P90's, a TV Jones equipped Gretsch Country Club... Читать дальше...

I remember Nigel Martyn applauding the Blues fans after Leeds tucked us up in the League Cup semi. What would the twitterati have made of that?
