Clown , when I went to Afghanistan , they thought Thor had arrived from Aesgard it wasn’t in the talibans best interests to meet the “ghost who walks” after all those diggers weren’t going to reshape google earth themselves 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In that book there is a part about when mourinho took over at Chelsea and established them as champions . And how during that era the playing staff , in particular the local core of terry , lampard and the two coles would look forward to the Tottenham games as they knew every time they’d play they’d beat them. There was a picture in that book of terry scoring against spurs with the caption “ scoring against Tottenham on way to beating them , again” how condescending is that ? Knowing that a localish rivals efforts will always be beneath you or even as a supporter to say, ah “ it’s only spurs, we’ve got United next week , that’s the game I want to see. “ unrelated ? Yes, but bear with me. you mentioned earlier that your true rivals are millwall, a club that as a neutral , have no right to be regarded with the prestige of West Ham. How good would it be as a iron to be waking up on a Saturday thinking “ Chelsea at home today , we’re gonna give these lot a doing today” or having a day out at spurs with your pals knowing that it wasn’t just gonna be good crack but they’d be sat at home thinking “ ficking Hell Avi , we’ve got the hammers today , I hope they don’t give us a shoeing” is it not better to wish for more than a good day out or a cheeky point ? I worked with two lads , Man City fans , in 2008 , one sadly was seriously hurt and he passed over after complications in his recovery, the day city won the league title , my other pal sat in the stadium after the game and took a picture which he sent onto our little social media group. It simply said “ for lee, who never saw this” would city fans rather be there struggling as a minority against a much bigger rival ? Or do you feel that they’ve done their share of wanting and are now reaping their rewards ? Of course id like to be smacking about the bigger clubs who wouldnt........but i dont want to do that with a club i dont recognise i want to do that with the club i know and grew to love as a kid,i want to do it with the long suffering fans who have been on the same journey ive been on........otherwise whats the point in it all ?....what do you really gain from any competitive success if you havent taken part in the process that got you there we can all take joy and happiness from " oil sheikh victory "....but what pride can you really take from it ?.........i said from the very start i felt sorry for the genuine lifelong Man City fans of my generation as they can now never know what pride in victory truly feels like whether they got it or not. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When was in the championship did you want to win the league ? Make the play offs? Get Promoted ? Does that make you an entitled fan in the championship but a humble fan in the premier ? Should teams in the 3rd, 2nd, 1st not want to win the league and get promoted ? Because that’s what you are saying isn’t it? EVERY team should be trying to win the league......without exception. I played very low level football but if by some chance they had said to my silly little team “you can have a season in the premier” I’d have come out every single game wanting to win the league, believing I could and I’d have accepted nothing less from the players around me. That is how you approach football.....no ifs, no buts, it’s an absolute given. Obviously i want to do the treble next year but knowing my club like i do i accept we probably wont,i doubt very much we,ll do it the year after either but i,ll still cheer my mob on with all the same enthusiasm and hope that we will so dont be pulling me up as a no hoper type......BUT......i dont expect anything different to any other season because i didnt fall for the bullshit......you did !!....so your expectations have risen....and if they havent risen then why havent they !!!! The bargaining tool for giving up our place of worship was sporting success i mean at this point aint you just a teeny weeny bit choked that you fell for it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too right I am, but the sales pitch was logic from a sporting point of view....to me it was at least. Like I said mate, football means different things to different people. Id watch a boxing bout in a totally different way to you, something I think is shite you may turn and tell me is actually really good and vice versa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
