Marmite Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 I think the Ipswich fans are a tad jealous if you ask me
cairnsy Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 Loving the hate from clubs except Leeds, they seem like nice folk, never knew spending 2m on 3 players is classed as throwing huge amounts of money around but meh what do I know
purpleronnie Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 We don't have a clue how they are either! On the contrary I do think it could be do or die this season exactly what I was thinking.
Guest Col city fan Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 exactly what I was thinking. I also think Sven has probably got only one crack at getting this right... I'm pleased with his acquisitions thus far though. I reckon this coming season in the championship has got all the makings of being the most exciting one for many years
21st Century Fox Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 (edited) I don't think the Thai's will bail on us, everything they've done so far would reflect extremely badly on them if they did and they'd lose alot of money. I think if this season doesn't work out, Sven would probably go and the money wouldn't flow as freely but they'd still look to work our way up. Edited 27 June 2011 by 21st Century Fox
Jackirius Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 Bristol City Racist Brigade at it again... "Spose it beats frying poppadoms and shooting -up all day! " http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/137075-fed-up-with-east-midland-clubs/ This guy speaks some sense. Er, to be honest they are huge clubs.. Both managed by Ex England Managers both of whom have won titles in other countries and have all kinds of experience. Their home attendances dwarf ours and despite their relegations and subsequent promotions and what not they both have had 'recent' European experience and have won major trophies. So yeah, they are both bigger clubs.. Screaming for parity ( by some of our fans as you mentioned) with a smaller existing (not potential) fan base, no history to speak of in that sense and more seasons that care to be remembered at lower levels is a bit much and people beging to wonder why our fans are beginning to get a bad rap elsewhere for being nonchalant,rude and aggressive. We have the 'small man syndrome' so badly it hurts... To be fair though Bristol City are massive. 1

They've invested too much to make me think they will bail now, they are here for the long run and I think they are top blokes
the_foxes_till_i_die Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 Re: Mackail-Smith goes to Leicester! « Reply #10 Today at 7:27pm » the way they are buying players they will either storm the league or implode.
One Arm Babba Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 I expect our odds to come in little bit soon. 6-1 at the moment with the hammers at 11-2 with ladbrokes.
John Matrix Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 i love this implode business. we've hardly spent any cash yet.
samjohnson Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 Incester ! very good. I love how other fans call us that. Do they not know that the M69 was built for a reason? 3
BlueSi13 Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 Rangers. Big club for sure. But if it was me or you, as a young upcoming talent, would you want to play in Scotland/Glasgow and for probably less money?
The Year Of The Fox Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 Suprised that leeds don't hate us as much as I presumed. What is it with rangers fans calling us shite though? yeh, we're not the best but with some of the football we played last season they wouldn't hammer us by any extent
Guest Mee-9 Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 I love the fact people don't like us cause we're wealthy. I laugh in the face of the peasants.

Houdini Logic Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 Evident that as well as the best club we also have the best forum Some of the 80's reject 'I make a commodore look revolutionary ' sites out there are simply embarrassing 2
Bilo Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 The thing with joining Rangers is that it wouldn't be as ambitious a move as their fans make out. Champions League? Yes, for a maximum of six games a season. Realistically, they'll be well out by the end of the group stage and if they finish fourth, out of Europe altogether. After that, it's the SPL for him which is no better in terms of standard; the Old Firm, Hearts and Dundee United at a push, than the Championship. You could also argue it's no better a place to put yourself on the market place than the Championship as well if you fancy using it as a stepping stone to a big Premiership club. I'd argue more players make the step up from Championship to Premiership than south of the border from SPL to EPL. We also have ambition as a club. You look at what Fulham have achieved, not a club that's any bigger than us, and wonder why we can't emulate or even better their achievements? Regular Premiership football, a Europa League final and a good squad. So by the end of a three year contract, Danns could well be playing for a solid Premiership club whereas Rangers will be exactly what they are now, part of a duopoly that's too good for Scottish football but no real hope of progression in Europe.
wellyfox Posted 27 June 2011 Posted 27 June 2011 No one likes us (no not a millwall song) like we give a rats arse
