I think I can live without having earning your respect sunshine. Its you throwing the insults and name calling around, not me.

We haven't been in the top flight. Would I have more respect from you if I was a Scunthonian 'supporting' Liverpool or Man Utd? Then I would support a non-"tinpot" club.
Have I been 'owned' Zig81? I admit it you are too smart for me.

Because we are the big fish in this league one pond.After the shit we have had to put up with over the years, why do these clubs,managers and their fans seem to detest us so much. The way Robinson and Barton have gone on making out that we are a bunch of arseholes that have referees in our pockets and are cheating our way out of the league. Surely its the opposite. I hope to fuck we get out of this league this time and leave these dickheads in our rear view mirror.
We’re their world in this shithouse league. Every game is a cup final when they play us. Things were even when we had our hands tied by FFP and the previous owners Eastleigh model.
It’s kicking off because we are matching these clubs shithousery and beating them.
A good summary but we think we are Barcafuckinlona apparently.Imagine you're a poxy little club with attendances that rarely get beyond 5k... you're basically skint and there's not much sign of commercial sponsorship coming in, regardless of on-field performances, such is your irrelevance. There's more chance of you going to non-league than Premier League which is always going to limit your growth and your chances of attracting any decent player to your club.
However, there's a big fish swimming near by. If you want to talk-up your little club and try and get some reflective value off this big fish then you have to talk about them as often as possible.
You might not be able to go up a level, but you can try and keep them down at yours.. knowing that they'll help bring in a few more pennies whilst they're down alongside you. Your players will puff their chests out when this other team are mentioned, your chairman will see the dollar signs when their fans hit town... while your fans will feel a little more 'big-time', seeing their clubs name in the same sentence as a team who used to be on Match of the Day every week.
It's THAT easy. It's Sunderland playing that big-fish role right now but it was Leeds a few seasons ago and Forest and the Sheffield teams have had it too (and likely will again next season, in Wednesdays case). Little Joey has played this card to perfection in the last few years and his scouse mate knows he's out of a job, when he fails to make the play-offs, so he's going to jump on that bandwagon, too. Pompey do it that often they'll be including mention of it in their club motto before much longer.
Its all a bit sad but I guess it pays the bills.
It’s ridiculous, we’ve been shitter than shit at times, the size of club/stadium/fanbase makes no difference if we can’t win games.After the shit we have had to put up with over the years, why do these clubs,managers and their fans seem to detest us so much. The way Robinson and Barton have gone on making out that we are a bunch of arseholes that have referees in our pockets and are cheating our way out of the league. Surely its the opposite. I hope to fuck we get out of this league this time and leave these dickheads in our rear view mirror.
It's hard not to look down on certain clubs & their managers when they're so intent on talking us up in order to manage the expectations of their chairmen and fanbase.A good summary but we think we are Barcafuckinlona apparently.
Agreed, some could even say they have an obsession with us.It's hard not to look down on certain clubs, fans and managers who seem intent on looking up at us.

Don't get the thread, who hates us? (apart from Joey Barton and the mag population of the world)
People may envy us because we are a big team in the third tier, but hate us, haven't seen that from people from other teams that post on here (Swindon on tour etc.)
To be fair when we have fans like you who like to have digs at our great support we don’t need others coming on here to tell us.I agree with that point.
It’s the terms “smashing tin pot clubs” “we will piss this league (said after our premier and championship relegations)” “because we are f***ing Sunderland” and the personal insults I don’t like.
Our six league titles were over 85 years ago, our last major trophy was 48 years ago and as much as some will not admit it we do have arrogant fans.
Someone asked why we are hated, other fans give their opinion (considering they may well know) and they just get insults.
FFS man ! Going on like Mother Teresa. We’re not Barcelona. We’re not even in the Championship.This attitude is exactly why we are hated. Who the fuck do some of our fans think we are?
We are a above average League One team but some of us think we’re Barcefuckinglona
Fuck me man and people wonder why we are hated
I'm just warming up for next year Howard.Maybe just our message board to all be signed up here clocking up a load of posts.
Something I usually like except, weirdly, when they all round on us as a team, a club and a fan base.

If we are being honest here, hone and away apart from shitty clubs like Pompey and Coventry we have no issues, we drink with fans home and away with very little trouble, we are very self aware of how far we have fallen and if we’d had a competent owner along with a competent manager, personally, I believe we would have smashed this tinpot league.
Travelling up and down the country supporting us funnily enough I’ve seen that, maybe if you actually took onboard what I said that would be fairly obvious.Not having a dog at all, I’ve explained why I think people may hate us.
In case you hadn’t noticed we haven’t “smashed” this “tin pot l ague” in three seasons.
