I don't think being realistic is the same as being a doom monger. Even Staveley has said that growth will be gradual and organic. We aren't in a position to attract the very best yet and, as I said on another thread, that isn't particularly what we need at the minute anyway. WE need to makle sure we get in players with the right qualities and not just those looking for a big pay day.

plan A - if safe in the Prem, gradual and organic

plan B - if staring down the barrel of relegation, spend like ************crazy and survive at all costs - then revert to plan A

My biggest motive for staying up is being able to shove it up the arses of all the people saying how much they’d love it if we go down (see EVERY chatroom/newspaper comments section)

To be fair mate, we do have the odd twat trying to rub everyone else's nose in it with the billions and billions pics and gifs. You can hardly blame them. It's not like we have acted with loads of humility and class since the takeover.

It would be silly to show mercy now mate. It's time to destroy the enemy and embrace the hatred.

Absolutely and they are in the brave denial phase, but over the years they'll start covering up and trying to avoid the confrontation because it'll be to painful for them.. The day will come and it'll be when I press fwd anyway

They deserve it and if it was the other way around they would torture you and the rest of us.

Remember in saving private Ryan where one guy let's that German go and later on the German kills him slowly and mercilessly with a knife??? Don't be that guy

The odd one yes, but every club has those*. Most of the comments in here are (I think) pretty self deprecating and borne of relief rather than malice. There’s also an element of “finally we get to be optimistic” which I can’t begrudge anyone.

*****s will be ****s and I guess we have to accept that some of ours are as ****ish as the next ****.
 
My god I couldn't go into battle with these pussys

When you have your enemy there to crush you ****ingwell crush them

And unfortunately it's those who tend to shout loudest!!
 
Tbh there were quite a few saying it but large numbers just couldn't get past the fact that he was supposed to be a striker.

I saw him doing some neat stuff and trying
More than a slight distortion of the reality.

Up until recently, probably shortly before Howe took over, Big Joe was a big liability. In 90 minutes he might do one or two “promising” things in a game but only one or two and “promising “ in the sense that he was only a partial dead loss not a total dead loss.

He couldn’t pass, he couldn’t kick a ball, he couldn’t tackle, he couldn’t do anything a professional footballer could or should be doing.

In fairness to Big Joe he has worked hard and much harder than the vast majority of footballers, to become what he has now become which is a very good PL footballer.

But let’s not pretend he was showing glimpses of this form previously as he wasn’t. He was as bad then as he is good now. As for CC I think we all know the support of Big Joe was just another wumming effort a la Bruce support and nothing more.

I think it was Upham that killed him, but Cap’n Miller had let him go…. but your principle still stands: NO MERCY
