Same could be said of this forum at times though, I've often come along hoping to join in a happy, confident pre-match chat (or post-match, even when we've won) and signed out again just as quickly because all I see is people slagging the team off time and time again. Sometimes I have to look at the league table just to check we're still top and not bottom.I’m happy to be shot down on this. There are plenty of folk who think that paying their entrance fee gives them the right to say anything during the match - but there has to be a limit.
The miserable old git behind me at Palace spent 90 minutes slagging off the whole team and style of play. Not a positive word came out of his mouth. He did not join in with the chants that can motivate the players.
Others around me shrugged their shoulders and bit their lip but, like me, said nothing to him. A bit like the way racists used to be tolerated, but not called out.
We should unite against the miserable gits, tell them to change or bugger off to somewhere where they have every reason to be miserable- the swamp perhaps.
Then replace them with appreciative vocal fans who can raise the collective mood, even on days when things don’t go so well.
Soz to the OTT moaners, other than that you're probably very nice people.
Maybe they should have a moaning old git section instead of a singing section. Everyone else can sing and have a good time and they can moan at other moaners and keep themselves happy/miserable.I’m happy to be shot down on this.

Either way, I think that reference is apt.I hate those films, that doesn't happen in the fucking book :(
They might even start their own chants that way.Maybe they should have a moaning old git section instead of a singing section. Everyone else can sing and have a good time and they can moan at other moaners and keep themselves happy/miserable.
I used to sit in front of one at Maine Road and actually moved my season ticket away from what they'd suggested so I could get away from him.
Sometimes you just need a No.9.I wouldn't say we were poor, a few inches either way when we hit the post it would have been a comfortable win.
Missing sitters could be described as poor finishing, but for me the overall performance was decent.
