Might go out on a limb here and say that whatever is said will be complained about by someone

Even going back to Roker Park mate, we’ve always had the “not going back, till Murray has gone” brigade. Sunday was a monumental fuck up, and a lot of us are flat as fuck, but there is a sizable percentage of our fan base that just love to moan - often to defend the fact they can’t be arsed to attend matches.

I'd say they were probably closest, when Jones was manager. Charlton and Barnsley, never been that great when I've watched them. Sometimes teams have looked far greater than the sum of their parts when playing us, Oxford for example in the home game - they were one of the best sides I saw but no way you could say they are a good footballing side.

This league is all about the physical attributes and ultimately that's where we have fallen down. Not complementing our decent technical players with physicality.

You could have watched star wars when they started recording and you'd have finished it by now. Nearly 2hrs 20 mins in with no sign of it finishing!

Knew this would be a long one though. There's loads to discuss and loads needs to be said, so let's get it all out.

Did you ask about the continual rumours that the club are actively touting children at the academy to other clubs and then doing all they can to facilitate a move to get the compensation payments?

Any if so why are they doing this?

And with our recent performances over the years, we can't really blame them or ourselves that much.

The thing is mate, the real hardcore support are brilliant. We had the best atmosphere of the season against Pompey, despite the fact thousands stayed away and it was the lowest crowd of the season.

I won’t derail the thread too much, but as a City we seem to love negativity.

I think we do well to cope with all of the negativity we face.

Heard a rumour that we recently sold someone from the academy for half a million.
