Course he is - United and Liverpool fans obviously won't agree ... and neither will Gutsy... coz it's me posting it

We’re going down that road again are we
You’ve had over a 100 years to stake your claim and a seat at the top table. The fact you haven’t isn’t the fault of the clubs you mention. Like many clubs, you’ve had decades of limited, to no success, whilst being able to compete on an equal footing.
You have had more “black marks” for your off-field activities than the “gold stars” for success on it, but somehow that’s every other club’s fault

 

[pieguts]

It's never been equal opportunities - the best players follow the money - the more money the better chance of success ... the more clubs willing (able) to pay, then the more competitive the league ...

I disagree, they follow the success or at least the chance of it.

Mate - everybody knows their place in football - you more than most

All I want to see for the remainder of my footballing spectatorship is my club attempting to play entertaining attacking football... and if I'm not watching my club, then others doing the same - but will I love it if a club like Bournemouth get top 4 and push an established nose out? - too ****ing right - even if their success is short lived because the vultures are already circling ...

Yeah, sorry about your wish of attacking football.

maybe when you are back in division 2 it will be something you can see.

Fosse is actually right.

Is he ****

I'm olny 65 mate ...

... and you're entitled to your opinion(s) - even if they are largely bollocks - which is mine ...

As to staking our claim - 4th most successful club in Britain over the last decade and a half will do for me ... particularly as it was achieved on a fraction of the spend of those around us

We weren't in the Big 6 obviously ... but were still outperforming them ...

You?

Wish 'for' ...

Who knows? - but we'll still have won more than you in the last quarter of a century by then too

Fosse is actually right.

why didn’t Newcastle build on the modest success of the 90’s.
They expanded the stadium, signed a striker for a world record fee etc.

Paid big money fees and wages.

He’s a troll mate. You should know, you were at the front of his trolling for the last couple of seasons

You’ll never sing thaaaaaat


England presumably rather than Britain.

 

[Solid Air]

What Leicester did is the only impressive success in decades of the sport.

They were then punished for it and got relegated.

How were they punished prior to relegation ?

Because they were coming from a league below initially, it wasn't sustained and over a longer period other clubs spent more.

Nobody has won anything using local talent from local areas alone since long before the moon landing though, so anyone pretending they've won anything without spending large sums of money is an Ostrich.

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

All set for the Fraizer Campbell derby.

 

[Munson.]

They were already trying to meet the horseshit of financial regulations before relegation.

Whilst not all born in Manchester, Utd were quite successful with the talent they bought through their academy

Goes a small way to making up for the time they went bust and took advantage of the lack of rules at the time. Meh.

Having already spent money and continued. I know people like to bullshit themselves, but without money none of that ever happens.

There's a reason why certain clubs wanted to run away from competition and its because they know fine well they ain't running classes.
