Thanks Chazz, I've had a few nods actually. Here your are then, following that depressing show yesterday. 45 days, from last Thursday, and things should be entirely different. It would help, IMO, if we put on a united front whilst the club is in trouble on the field. The current regime is coming to an end.
We need to sell out our allocation for the Barnsley game and get behind the lads before the international break. West Brom is a free hit I just hope we don’t get hammered.
I would rather be delightful than a prat. Perhaps if he hadn’t posted like he did on the Mental Health thread, I wouldn’t have bothered, but he is a prat.
Not true There were the classic ‘how **** must you be it only 1-0’ and ‘you’re nothing special we lose every week’ sung Not my bag. To be fair there were other positive songs, but the situation is toxic. Changes are needed.
Not quite a seque but I cannot resist telling one of my favorite drill sargeant retorts to me and my fellow apprentices when one of us went the wrong way on the command left or right turn in threes-"its your Army left not your civilian left". I use it to this day 62 years later when my wife gives me a wrong turn when she is navigating in the car,
to be fair, the people I noticed who started in the "sacked in the morning" chants were also the most vocal in "come on city" and general encouragement as well. The vast majority of any negativity was directed at the manager - true there was some at the players, although not that much more than the usual frustration at a bad bit of play that you get at the best of times. I can't believe that with our current run of results, people are surprised when fans express their frustration in time the usual way.
Self-indulgent I agree and you can 'have a go' at me as much as you like but just reminiscences of someone rapidly becoming an old fart - and none of it is a work of fiction. Nothing to be gained in posting fictional stories here.
I am not going to waste my time on you, or your "mate". The simply fact is that we have plenty of posters who reminisce all of the time. But if you tell a story, it has to add up and in your case two of your posts don't.
Which I'll seque into the following tale: About twenty years ago my Missus was driving us through rural France, with two mewling kids in the back of the car, and the stress levels were going through the roof. Every time I said right, she went left and, indeed, vice versa. I even tried gauche et droite, but to no avail. Eventually, and close to divorce proceedings, we stopped at an Aire, and she stomped off to collect her thoughts in the toilet. We started up again. I said turn right and she turned right. I said turn left and she turned left. By jove, I thought, I think she's got it. Indeed she had. Thanks to writing L on the back of her left hand and R on the back of her right hand. And we proceeded in perfect harmony. I suggested that she make them permanent tattoos but she resisted that and just writes them on whenever necessary.
