    Default We're all experts..... bollocks

    You know, on boards like this, it has become normal for every fan to become - astonishingly - an expert football manager, coach and chairman.

    But it's all bollocks. We really don't know enough, don't have any experience, really have no actual ability to even understand what is required.

    I remember - way back in my youth - we didn't have this delusion. We accepted that a manager was in charge and needed a few years to prove what he could do. We weren't saying after a few weeks that he was 'tactically naive...' (I love it when an internet warrior bashes out that phrase on his keyboard...)

    It's a fantasy land sometimes on places like this, isn't it? We're kids playing 'Dungeons and Dragons' and pretending we're 'Master Dragon Slayers' ...or 'Premiership Football Managers'.

    We really need to kop on sometimes...

    Every fucker is an expert. Largely down to Footie Manager I trust the gaffer to do whats right though, he's probably forgot more about football than anyone on here actually knows.

    There are not many experts even in professional terms with football.
    What is certain is that when you make your mouth go it is far too easy, especially on here, to be reminded of what you have said.

    It is also best to stay off here for the majority of time during the closed season as well.

    How on earth people can kneejerk before a ball has even been kicked is one of those things that is totally baffling.
