Re: Neil Warnock's fanny pack
That little spell at the start of our last promotion season when we thumped Villa, did Wolves away and beat a strong Sheffield United team 2-0 was one of the highlights of my long time City supporting life, it was wonderful, Mendez-Laing cutting in and banging them in, Hoilett magic on the other flank, we were a joy to watch. But I do think Warnock put the brakes on a bit with a ‘Jesus Christ, we got a chance of going up here, I’d better batten down the hatches’. And get us up he did but I don’t think we played with the same enthusiasm and abandon until our Premier League final fling at Old Trafford, which did leave a ‘what could have been’ feeling had we shown the same attitude during the season.

It did help that Man Utd decided to take the day off.

I didn’t particularly care about their attitude (they did have a few bobs worth of talent on the pitch though), we were superb and perhaps our attitude that day made them ‘not fancy it’. If we’d have shown the same spirit in earlier games against, perhaps, lesser teams we might have survived. Did Warnock hold us back only for him to let us have our head once we were doomed?

Nah, United didn't give a **** and we were already relegated. In my opinion it didn't spell 'what could've' been. We showed hardly anything in terms of footballing style and philosophy the previous 37 games, unless you want to narrow it down to individual moments, which were few and far between. There was nothing on the game, so, the team either cheated the fans in the previous 37 games, where hardly any football was played, or united took the day off. All evidence says that they did.
Re: Neil Warnock's fanny pack
Any videos of him swearing at and berating the officials at the same pre season friendly? In front of all those children at the game? Complete and utter tosser.

He's a bit of a jekyll and Hyde character that's for sure
Re: Neil Warnock's fanny pack
Warnock gets away with being a **** because he's got a bit of character.

Dish it out, take it back. I never abuse and swear at innocent people just trying to do their job, in public, in front of children.
I doubt there are any children on here, although I wouldn’t put It past you to pretend to be a child to engage in communication with an actual child you absolute danger. I bet the police would have a field day in your hard drive.
No disrespect to this forum but the average age must be 50+

Beautifully summarised! (I'll NEVER forgive him for Fulham away).

I totally agree. Wonderful football. I agree with the rest of your post except the Old Trafford result. But, in a futile attempt to keep this about football as the thread is going off-piste somewhat - here's something to smile (or cry) over. The real highlight (not shown) was seeing John Terry rip his Aston Villa shirt off in anger as he went down the tunnel. Ah, the memories.

I found an insult funny. How dare I.
Christ, this board at times. How dare we have fun or laugh at things we find funny.
You're good at making a mountain out of a mole hill aren't you.

Let it go over your head. He feels the need to comment on every single thread. Quantity not quality springs to mind.
