Good result today but...

Logic would dictate that different fans have different preferences.

Some love the blood and guts approach, with old fashioned center forward throwing himself at cross for winger ( usually Scottish ) hitting the byline.

Some prefer high press.

Some prefer the John Beck style.

Some prefer possession football.

There's no single way to win a football game. There are no bonus points for style - it's not gymnastics.

None of which has got anything to do with what I said in the post you replied to - why do some City fans argue that it’s virtually impossible to have points and performance when there are plenty of teams around the country that achieve it every weekend?

Logic indicates that one person's "performance" differs from another. It's a subjective issue, not objective.

Are there examples of people arguing it's impossible to get results and perform in a way people find acceptable?

That’s why I asked the question about wins we’ve had that do not merit the winning ugly description.

The converse of your argument that performance is subjective has to mean that there are people out there who look at us and think we’re an entertaining team, but I’ve never come across anyone who seriously believes that both in terms of people I meet and stuff I read and hear in the media.

By arguing that it doesn’t matter what the football’s like as long as we win, like some have done on here since yesterday’s game as a defence mechanism against those who were critical of the team’s performance, aren’t they admitting that they think the quality of football is crap as well, it’s just that they come st it from a different standpoint?

With respect the fans who argue it doesn't matter what the football is like as long as City win, it would be interesting (to me, at least) to know who they regard as their all-time favourite Bluebirds and why they rated those players so highly.

Logic dictates that as always, there's a lot of accuracy in your post.

The point however was that you claimed some fans are saying it's "virtually impossible to have points and performance", a point I don't think anyone has really made.

I’d argue they are when they say it’s all about winning, but I accept that, as they have not actually come out and said that very thing, it could be said that I’m putting words in their mouth.
