blubber blubber blubber blubber

oh my god


It's bad enough we've got a harry kane thread.

I felt for Fugsyphil there, he didn't deserve that. I've no idea what TLG was thinking. I've never known him take an interest in cricket so maybe he wasn't familiar with the expression (he said fast-track bully at one point) or just hadn't heard it being applied to Kane before but, either way, it was a massive overreaction and one of the weirder things I've seen on here. And that's a crowded field.

Then Sludge posted twice, in a thread titled 'Re; Harry Kane', to say he wasn't interested in Harry Kane. What's that about?

Look out, the king of condescension is back in the saddle on his high horse…

As you’re struggling, I’ll tell you exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking the suggestion that Harry Kane’s a flat track bully is laughable. I immediately got called a dick by Fugsyphil for daring to say so, but no big deal. I still think it’s a laughable suggestion. So much so that I genuinely did laugh when I first read it.

But apparently a few other people have said the same thing on the internet over the years, so I guess the idea must have some merit.

Naturally.

“I felt for Fugysphil there…”

Sure you did.

We could well still finish 23rd, I doubt it though

Fair play, I just nearly choked with laughter.
The laughing emoji doesn't do it justice :hehe:

Only QPR below us.

Leicester to win it.

They have Ipswich making the playoffs.

Swansea 14th and Bristol City 16th.

What do you think? Are we going to finish 23rd?

What a job, well done Bulut :thumbup::ayatollah:

Funny to re-read posts......So Bulut has done well as I can't see many playoff predictions.

There'll be fivers and tenners from south Wales on us at fancy odds, but little elsewhere. 13/8 for Leicester to be promoted seems stingy to me when generally (the stattos on here will prove me wrong :)) at least one of the relegated teams blow up into a mini-crisis and death spiral. I think Southampton will be the team this year, they bought a lot of (too) young players last year who struggled in the premier league but with another year and an easier league will be decent IMO.

I think its going to be very tight top 10

Some good calls here, llan, especially the last line. Well done.

hey you forgot to bash the players who are carrying him kicking and screaming over the line! how can he have full credit if you dont atleast rubbish the team

BUMP-ing so we can be reminded how wrong FourFourTwo was.

though.
Absolutely. It's been fun this far. No expectations whatsoever, so whatever the side does beyond avoiding the drop, will be fantastic.
I noticed this little gem on page 5 by Eric the Half Bee. 😂😂

I said midtable, can’t get more middle than 12th. I think it’s a respectable league finish, just a shame about the football being so poor.

At the time of posting it was absolutely correct. I wouldn't hold a comment like that against anyone.

However, I suggest expectation levels two months later when we win at Preston and are looking at the playoffs are not the same. Should, for example, Ipswich fans in the last few games of the season just be grateful for staying up or are their expectation levels very different from last August? The feeling of many fans from how we were doing after we beat Bristol City and how we've ended the season are very different, naturally so. If you're thinking you've got one over on me with this, think again.

“What ever the side does beyond avoiding the drop, will be fantastic”
Those were your words. Now you are back tracking. Pathetic! Grow a pair Eric.

Not back tracking in the slightest. You're trying to hold words I posted around 8 months ago against me for some reason. Not the first time recently you've tried to score points off me or have a sly dig. Didn't think you were that sad.

Anyway, simple question - the majority of City fans were delighted with the start we made and were saying and posting similar things as I did at the same time. Should those comments be the only ones that matter at the end of this season or are opinions allowed to change depending on how well or otherwise the club does?

I recently posted about the 2006/07 season, where against the odds, we were top of the table and looking every bit like Championship champions after a few months, even though many would never have predicted that at the start of the season. When we finished 13th, many City fans were disappointed, their expectation levels having changed drastically since the start of the season. Is it wrong that should happen?
