As ironic as it was to sing "we'll score when we want", that really made me cringe. Was always going to haunt us and makes us look like right arrogant gits.

Also threads saying 'When we win the league...' and not 'if'.
We just need to tone it down a little bit. Would be much better if we were humble, took defeats on the chin and just supported the team. We don't have a right to win every game and teams will defend for their lives against us. Let's just accept it, enjoy the challenge and go for it as best we can do. Then if we win it we can celebrate and if we don't then that's part of sport.

Can we sing that instead of the plain stupid (because untrue) "score when we want"?
You are assuming that all members are blues. They are not.Damocles said:Yes, a minority of our fans have become extremely arrogant and have completely lost all perspective since the takeover.
I'd point you to this forum over the last week. We had numerous threads calling for the managers head and calling him clueless because despite being top of the league, we got beat.
10 years ago we would be pissing ourselves if the rags did that.

We don't need to be loved by other fans!

Heard them too. There's always been arrogant banter i.e. small town in..., and practically every game I can remember from the second division that we won had [scoreline] in your cup final. No different to we'll score when we want in my opinion. There's always some underlying irony which I'd hope most fans will understand for what it is. As for general arrogance, I don't know. I expect to win the title because I believe we have the best side but is that arrogance or is it justified? We're top of the league with the best scoring and defensive records. Are Bluemoon meltdowns a sign of creeping arrogance? Possibly. We should never be above being beaten by a particular class of opposition, that probably is ragish behaviour. Just as long as we're not being consistently beaten by lower league opposition then it shouldn't be a cause for concern.
