No disrespect meant, but I can't understand why anyone would follow a team that they expect to lose all the time - especially one that doesn't lose very often.
It seems masochistic, and frankly not very supportive - and I can't get my head around it.
It's a Gang of Three. You know who the other two are <whistle>
 
would have thought that fans of a large number of football clubs fully expect their teams to lose far more often than win .
Resigned to it, perhaps - if it's a repeated occurrence. There's a difference between expecting a certain amount of losses in a season, and predicting a catastrophe before every game.
It seems to me to be an indirect insult to a group of players who've hardly lost a game all season, to anticipate their defeat in every upcoming match.
We need to show some faith in them - they won't win every game, but they've done a bloody good job so far, and we should credit them with that.

i think you're taking Bumps neuroses too seriously mate .
Think of it like a pair of lucky socks he puts on before matches or as a nervous tic.

Dude I have said I think we will win...

just think they away goals will do for us :)

I have posted loads of times that this is not serious I just do it to wind people up
Just like whoever keeps saying we are going to win 7-1 or we are going to smash em can’t really be serious

also if you look at the past two matches prior to this one I have said we will smash them or words to that effect so you picked the wrong time to pick on me lol :emoticon-0172-mooni

His pessimism is like his good luck charm, if you read the lads posts hes got a lot of love for the team and a good overall love of football.

But if you ask for a prediction he always says we will lose, it's just like wearing your special undies.

Infact bumps is one of the most fair minded and god forbid funny posters on here. I like the lad. Leave him alone.

That's a rather odd interpretation of "winning". It only counts if you win the tie.

See first paragraph three messages above

ps love you to Fool :emoticon-0152-heart

I do love football too :) having a ball with the kids team atm
If any of you get the chance(I know some already have) go get involved in a kids team at grass roots - apart from my kids best thing I have ever done :)
No idea how it’s going to go over next few years but the last season and half have been an Amazing experience.

would not change it for the world - watching them develop and love the game is just the best feeling in the world :)
Even missing first half on wed so we can sneak an extra game in :)
