I miss Donald Trump.

 

First class entertainment!

Definitely unpopular on missing him. He was entertaining though from an absolute bell end perspective.

 

As a brown man, i dont miss him and his supporters though. If only his republican ball sucking colleagues fooked off with him. Oh and a sizeable portion of democrats too!

 

Man, does America need help or what?  Heck, you look at politics across the globe and think "world citizens" need help! 

 

Back to my lame Trudeau led government over here..sigh.

Thundercunt too. 

 

It's used by people who think it's very unique and witty. When they use it they think its really devastating and don't realise its like listening to a Jack Whitehall b-side. 

Ah, but where else are you supposed to put your lightning rod?

Ah yes, thanks for reminding me.

 

The use of  'catch' for 'watch'.  It's trying to be cool for the sake of trying to be cool.

The new Question of Sport is fine and not as bad a people are making out. If you don't like the presenter, then that's fine I respect that opinion. But the show itself is the same premise, you can't hate that if you liked it before. It's modernised over the last 40 years, its bound too. So hate the line up, but not the show.

 

Also Jermaine Jenas isn't a terrible pundit. He's a tad biased towards Spurs, but other than that, he's clear, in depth and knowledgeable. Last night on MOTD there was a world of difference in quality from Jenas's analysis and Keowns. The only thing Keown does well is speak clearly, he offers no insight at all, basically just describes what happens.

The club posting stuff like this reeks of delusions of grandeur.

The club being unable to use apostrophes in an international message only compounds the awfulness.

Genuinely not sure what the problem is...

It's a weird thing for people to get annoyed about. The reality is these days we have no end of foreign fans. Almost certainly more than local ones. I live in China and use an app for the local sports channel to watch the matches. When you sign up you have to pick your favourite team, you can select them from all over the world. It tells you when you watch a match how many fans from each team are watching and how many neutrals. When Leicester play there are normally around 500,000 people watching it who have picked Leicester as the team they support. For some context for the Man City match they had around 4,000,000 (I think) and then there's normally a lot of neutrals as well. 

 

The point is the international market is a huge money maker for clubs and they are going to target those fans once in a while.

Oh i’m sure our legions of fans out there will be over the moon.

 Is it REALLY such an issue?

Indians dont JUST like cricket you know.

Or is it embarrassing  to us REAL fans that we might be abit too famous now?

Let's get back to the championship days of Craig Levein  when we only had 22,000 there and we were hardcore innit!!!

Agree I don't think it is as bad as people are making out. Then again, many of those dissenting voices are "Mick" and "Janice" of right-wing Facebook who despise change and the loss of their darlings.

 

I assume there was sound rationale for the overhaul and to be honest it's won people like me back, for now anyway, I watched as a kid but it became "last of the summer wine-esque" as a quiz show years ago. 

 

It's now got a very small hint of "A League of their Own" about it. An injection of energy from Paddy. Still a way to go because the BANTA isn't quite there yet, but it'll warm up.

Sod that, let’s get back to 7500 (I don’t think I’m exaggerating) at Filbert St some evening in the eighties!

I've not seen it for a long time as it was totally ruined by Matt Dawson. It can't be any worse than when he was in it!

Thought both of our disallowed goals against Brighton were correct decisions.

The penalty against Vestergaard however is a howler of an error.

COMPLETELY AGREE.

Some of our fans don't deserve to be around during the greatest period in our entire history.

And I wish people would stop telling me I'm less of a fan because I criticise.

 

I put a lot into going home and away and I like to think I say it as I see it. I'll say if we're good, I'll say if we're bad.

 

If people want to be happy regardless then fine but the whole "you're not a fan because you criticise" is just pathetic.

Agree with this.

 

I think we've accepted that as a club we are now operating at a higher level than ever before, at least in most of our lifetimes. So while I do believe there have been some overreactions recently people are entitled to have higher expectations than even 2/3 years ago. 

 

Some of the "some of our fans don't deserve to support the club" stuff is at best tinpot and at worst extremely arrogant.
