Bounce around has been going for nearly 20 years so a whole generation of young uns knows it, and it has history of sorts. 
 At least it generates atmosphere- West Ham and Plymouth good recent home examples . 

Dont  mind it myself , better than some generic dirge that all other teams sing like Allez allez allez . 

Under Johnson snr & junior yes.

As I predicted yesterday.

I don’t get too hung up on formations because in today’s game it’s very fluid . Although , will it be penned as 3-4-3 but more like a 3-4-2-1

I agree with that stupid song, who on earth thought that was ever a good idea?

I like the bounce though, especially on a cold day, I often wish they would wait until the game is obviously won though. 

Each to their own . A packed away end doing it after a win , I can see .

How long do you have to do something before it becomes synonymous with your fanbase? 

I wonder if there were fans in the '60's moaning that Drink up thee cider, "has nothing to do with football and is making us look like embarrassing stereotypes"?

Drink up thee cider is synonymous with the West Country . Although they also sing the I can’t read I can’t write song which is bloody embarrassing as is Grown men bouncing around like little kids

Has anyone heard anything?  I would like us to keep the pinstripes on our home shirt, as different to all of the other red shirts out there. Hopefully the splat Robin experiment is over!

I hope we don’t keep the pinstripes . We only wore it once in the late eighties. Now Jonny crayon has done his “retro” pinstripes twice . It’s a lack of imagination .

Christ, there's some miserable buggers on here.

Why is it miserable . In regards the Liverpool win . Along with the club over decades thinking small time in the past . Celebrating a one off F.A cup win against what was  a good result at the time , is a very small club mentality . 
Will we be celebrating a league cup quarter final win over the mancs in the future ? It’s embarrassing .

Not the way it was sung the other week it wasn't. Anyway @steviestevieneville was talking about "hard core ultras", my point was that "bubbles" doesn't come into that category either. 

 

I don’t get the whataboutary. West Ham were right. Big difference from a song synonymous with a club to a few sporadic people jumping up & down like they’re on some 80’s kids show

What because we aren't dumb enough to turn our backs on the game? 

That was a polish side wasn’t it. 
It’s true though. If the whole stand did it , it would be so bad but it’s little pockets . It looks shit

Whats wrong with the bouncing?

It bloody cringeworthy . Like a load of little kids. I’m all for having fun believe me but I thought S82 were supposed to be hard core ultras . It’s embarrassing . I agreed when the whole West Ham end started singing 

what the ******* hell is that . 
It should have died when Johnson snr got sacked .

Am I the only one thinking this is a bit embarrassing?

It would be bad enough, but we’ve literally just beat a 6th placed team that won a European trophy last year.

some big results in our history, but if we’re celebrating an anniversary of that what does it say about the rest of our history?

 

 

Yep. A pitch parade for winning a F.A cup tie. It’s small club mentality . Sort of thing we’d rip the piss out of the 15er’s for doing . Isn’t there someone on here from S82 ? It’s tinpot lads. Oh & stop that ******* bouncing nonsense as well . Pathetic

I don’t think that it’s likely Dave - SL is shrewd guy and I’m confident that he wouldn’t sell his shares unless he was 100% sure that the purchaser had the club’s interests at heart.

What we need is another die hard City fan who’s also a billionaire………don’t think that there are many around tho…….

If the sentiments of your last few posts are genuine then fair play . However you don’t have to kiss sir Steve’s ass if you’re scared of him. It wasn’t him that beat you up in his office.

No it makes perfect sense you just don’t agree with it. They want young upcoming manager to take us to next level they think Pearson has served his purpose so thank you and bye bye, that’s why I say footbal is brutal business. Not just us look at other champ clubs Plymouth Millwall Swansea us young managers all being employed, new era of management and bcfc know they might make short term losses for long term Gaines, will never go down in million years so despite what they say in public which is clearly bollocks. Manning needs his own players before being judged Pearson had his players now owners need to allow manning to have his

Which , in the last part of your post makes no sense. Not in what you wrote but in what they said at the time. They think THIS squad should be doing better . Pearson recruited to how he wanted to play . They’ve brought a new man in (not his fault) that wants to play completely different . After massively reducing the wage bill . So , they have two options really . Slowly churn the squad over a couple of years to get it how manning wants . Or, it’s a spending spree again , whilst hiking up the wage bill . The problem with option 1 is that they want to be competing this season . junior Lansdown is not the best at speaking publicly but he’s the face of the club now & he’s put a lot of pressure on himself .

Nixon reiterates on Twitter a point raised by some posters, next few days or not at all.

If the price is 5 million… it just isn’t worth it, right?

Not many are worth that imo . As I said before though. The brains trust have backed themselves into a corner really . Want / should apparently be competing top end , now . We need much better players to do that. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve made a panic signing .

off side my friend 

Yeah . Didn’t see it properly first time & probably a foul as well . delete thread . Nothing to see here people 

Perhaps I missed it then . If I did then apologies for starting the thread. I just saw the ball pulled back to him to shoot . Was the offside earlier in the move ? 

Villa just scored a perfectly good goal , but the shot from the edge of the box passed by a player in an offside position. He  wasnt in  Pickfords eye line & didn’t touch the ball . I don’t see how VAR even got involved. Really starting to dislike the game we all love

And that is a major deviation from the plan Nige, RG put in place, that was based on steady progress without needing the outlay / risky outlay.

Even if Twine is that good, he alone isn’t enough.

Exactly . That’s why I’m so pissed off still. It’s not about nige being sacked as such, the way he was  yes. It’s treating us like ******* idiots . Just feed them some bullshit . Without that long sustainable plan , that we’ve never achieved under the lansdowns through their (bored of saying it) lack of football knowledge means we have  to rip it up again . That reason is because of the pressure they’ve put themselves & manning under with the ridiculous press conferences & they’ve left themselves nowhere to go . It’s 100% on them . They can’t sack manning in a years time , blame him after not backing him & it’s obvious from their statements that we expect to be competing top end. The only way short term to do that is spending . If not this month then it’s going to be a hell of a lot of turmoil in the summer. 

The bottom line is. If the morons running the club are actually serious about promotion then the level of player needed has to rise dramatically . A bit like hull are doing . Because we haven’t had a sustainable way of playing & bought into it for years like a Brighton/brentford or a Swansea of the past ten years . The only way we can do it is by spending again . Is twine that next level ? I’ve not watched him enough to have an opinion  . He’s not tearing the league up or being a driving force for hull from what I can see . It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if we panic & sign him though . Not with history the lansdowns have got .

Best midfielder in Premier League history.

He’s one of yes . To disregard Gerrard , lampard, scholes , viera, toure, etc is a bit harsh . I’ve watched him three times in the flesh all be it against us & he’s right up there no doubt .

Was absolutely fantastic against us at AG last season in the cup.

That goal he scored, on the run, without stopping, to curl into the goal from 25 yards. Absolutely fantastic technique.

You can only admire the talent, after you've been able to see them live. Watching on TV cuts out so much of their off the ball work.

 

More impressive was the equaliser away in the league cup semi final. He got the ball off their keeper & thought **** this I’ll do I myself .

You just have to look at the way our views compare to theirs.

We are 4 points off the play off places & the general feeling on here (although very jekyll & Hyde, based on the last result) is that our chairman is a clown for believing we could be a top 6 contender & the general outlook from threads is frustrated & negative.

Rovers are 12 points off the top 6, closer to the drop zone than the play offs - yet they always seem to refer to their play-off push & how they are better than everyone that beats them..!

That’s because they’re desperate to be in the same league as us . Although only from fans 30 or above that can actually remember those days

Is it the fee or is it the wages he may wish for.

Wonder what he us in at Burnley, what % Hull are paying.

On paper £5m fee on say a 2.5 year deal for simplicity is £1m in amortisation this year and £2m each subsequent year. £5m/3.5 is £0.714m and £1.428m respectively.

How high will and should we go though..we know TV money set to rise by £2-3m next year. £20k per week, more?

I would have thought he would have had a clause in his contract that he would have got a pay rise when they got promoted .

Because hes a treacherous *** who has brown nosed his way into a position no other club anywhere near our level would even consider him for.

Plus I did suggest that if he is professional he shouldn’t be in social media at all . Plus he can’t spell technical correctly
