Might as well be Brighton.

The hate is draining away from me. All those years I could barely avoid hearing how great they were - be it from the poxy media or hordes of glory seekers. When I'm told I should love or respect something but I feel like I'm the only one who knows the truth about it, it really winds me up. It's nice to just ignore the useless gits.

Pull yourself together, man.
This is the rags you're talking about!
Hating the rags is for life, not just for Christmas.

Sancho becoming a real impact player.

I see Fernandes is back to being world class after a decent performance against a mid table team.

Apart from scoring twice (one a complete howler from the keeper) he did absolutely fuck all apart from moaning to the ref constantly

Oh I dont know about doing fuck all. It looked liked he was crying his eyes out at full time. Horrible ****

Shoo-in.

I actually prefer shoe-in. Reminds me of a girl I used to know. Fingers, fists, feet, shoes...anything-in.

Not doubting you at all but can you post it just for a laugh?

The daily mail censoring their own readers opinion??

What's the biggest end-of-season points gap record between us and them? (PL era)

Could we break that this season?

I remember trying to reassure myself that every dog has his day but thinking these bl**dy dogs are having way too long in the sun. I remember thinking that eventually Fergie is going to have to retire and while the club revolves around him so much the transition would be just like post Busby. I remember thinking that rich benefactors seemed to be able to take what I thought were clubs no bigger than ours and turn them into winning machines. I guess at the end of the days I was hanging onto hope and dreaming.

But wow, I never dreamt it would be so good! I never dreamt we would surpass them both on and off the pitch. I mean if our club continues to handle things as well as they are and the rags continue to mess things up (like happened the other way around post 1979) then the possibilities are endless. We could surpass them for PL titles, CL titles, FA Cups. We could acquire the majority of young impressionable new fans nationally, maybe even internationally. At the end of the day this is how the redtops grew into what they are today. I don’t even care if I don’t live to see the fruition of this, I am just happy to experience the process.

In actual fact it wouldn’t bother me that much if it all came crashing down, because I will still love this club and the ride would have been a great buzz to look back on. CTID.

I’m 77 and, apart from a few years in the 70s, it’s the first time in my lifetime that the rags actually feel irrelevant. It’s glorious and I’m drinking it in! Long may it continue, they are, and have always been a despicable, cheating, self-entitled club.

If you were 112 like my late grandad would have been you would have experienced many more years where they felt irrelevant!
