Player's Perspective On Being Boo'd By Fans

[skillman]

"All the top teams pass the ball and push their opposition back" - I take it Kolo was saying that's what we're trying to do. How is it that United, Arsenal and Chelsea would knock 2 or 3 past Birmingham at home when we arguably have a better squad? (other than Chelsea)

I feel sorry for the players to be fair, they're being told to play the way they are, I'm glad Mancini was booed when the Tevez sub happened. Hopefully it will kick him up the arse.

Arsenal that lost at home to West Brom and Utd that drew with them!!

Ffs

Aren't we talking about Birmingham?

Albion have done well this season, well done.

We are talking about our tactics and booing! We also beat them with our tactics, away!

Well done us? You brought other teams into it. Let's see how Brum do against Chelsea also this weekend

The interview was done after the Birmingham game which is why I mentioned them. You brought in other teams by mentioning Albion.

I don't boo anyway but sometimes certain decisions and people make me want to.

Chelsea are away to Birmingham which is a bit different to being at home, I bet if we were away last weekend then our expectations will have been lower. I still think Chelsea will win tomorrow though, 3-1.

No - come on and wake up. You brought other teams into it by stating that Arsenal or utd would score a hatfull against Brum.

So what I did was compare our results against West brom as both clubs you mentioned played them at home (something you acknowledge as being easier tham playing away (see above), they managed 4 goals and 1 point during those two games.

We managed 2 goals and 3 points in our one game away. If you are still unsure as to why I made the comparison then I had better give up.

Good for you thinking Chelsea will win (and 3-1 at that), my points are not based on estimations and fortune telling (such as Arsenal or the rags scoring 2 or 3 at home against Brum) but actually on like for like results to show you that your argument is somewhat flawed.

Are you now on my wavelength or did you get lost along the way......?

Yes but West Brom were going into the games against Arsenal and United with confidence because of their good starts. When they came into the game against us, they had just lost to Blackpool and had a make-shift right back who's primary position is left back in Shorey therefore meaning they were bound to have less confidence than they previously had against Arse and United.

Bit cocky that isn't it? This is a fans forum which is all about opinions. My opinion is that Chelsea will beat Birmingham tomorrow 3-1. I am not saying that they will beat them, I am simply predicting that as an opinion.

How dare you call me cocky? ;)

I am of the opinion that Brum will hold them. If you are right, then i will hold my hands up, but they are no mugs by any respect, especially if they park the bus.

I personally think we will 4 points off top come Monday.

I could be wrong, I am happy to admit but I won't let hypothetical comments such as Arse or rags would have demolished Brum slide when i don't agree with them (esp given like for like results against teams we have all played).

We'll see. I think that Chelsea will win tomorrow and we'll be held by Fulham or beaten. Can't see us getting anything out of it if we play like we have been. This is irritating because my glass is normally half full but for once I'm not going into a weekend with high hopes.

Do what I do - bottle and a half of Canernet Sauvignon and a chinese. Everything is rosey.

(ps I think we will beat Fulham as we are suited to soak up pressure and beat teams that try and beat us - we struggle to break opponents down - atm)

Most of our players have 100,000 reasons per week not to give a stuff what we think .

It seems a bunch of you think that making money completely solves a person's problems in life. Couldn't be further from the truth. Making more money does not make you happier, more emotionally stable, or better able to cope with hardships.

You can say, "Well give me "100,000 pounds/week and I'll be show you how to do it!" Do you think that because you have a lot of money:

- Your family life improves?
- Your past friends don't have any jealously towards you?
- You can be seen in public places without being harassed?
- Many people don't just see you as a walking stack of cash, constantly trying to squeeze some of it from you?

I'm not trying to say that being rich is horrible or even mildly bad. I too dream of being a mega-millionaire. But just because you have money your problems don't disappear. Sure your more immediate needs may be satisfied (food, shelter, sex, people doing tedious tasks for you...), but your many of your problems (especially psychological) become worse. You can no longer trust people who were once your friends and every mistake of your life is documented as national news.

Some people can deal with being rich better than others (just like some people can deal with life better than others). Sure boo then when they don't put in enough effort. But I can guarantee you that they want to win as much as you (if not more). They didn't practice for countless hours without having some kind of competitive drive. Booing when they are unlucky or frustrated just (like in the Birmingham game) just discourages them from giving their best.

Ive looked back at my post on this thread, yes I was right I did indeed only say that they dont care what we think imo, I never said anything like "it solves their lives completely" as it happens I agree with the stuff you said but your post is totally unconected to mine, btw I'm not jealous of the wages they get I just think it makes some of them not give a damn about what we think of them.
