2015

It's frankly embarassing and smacks of amateurism that this man is a Chairman of a Championship Football club. Out of his depth and full of arrogance.

I detest him.

Absolutely he is. He used to be great linking up with the midfield around the half way line. Very tidy footballer…

But unfortunately he had flaws going forward. I’m not going to say who is better, but I think Roberts will go on to have a better career.

It’s still early days, but that’s just a hunch from me.

Just astonishes me someone can watch JD with how tidy he is on the ball and says 'dont rate him' each to their own I guess. Good footballer, sadly physicality never helped him which isn't even his fault.

I really find it hard to understand all the negativity around Andy King.  The lads lived the dream!  Numerous league titles including a Premier League medal, played international football (albeit for Wales) hes had an opportunity to play for his boyhood club of which his children have shared in that experience.  

 

You only have to look at the reception both him and James got from Leicester supporters to see how well regarded they are

 

Whatever he chooses to do in the future, best of luck to him and his family.

 

 

Agree. Both he and James have been absolute model pro's since being at the club and James probably the most underrated player i've known us have at this level. He's been a very good servant for us.

King's a City fan, he's lived the dream as far as his career goes, I wish him all the best for his future and would like to see him back at the club one day in some capacity setting standards for those around him.

Never rated JD, too small so no good defensively, OK going forward

I would like to see Pring & Roberts switched, as I think Cam is the better defender and Roberts is better going forward, its a nice problem to have

Never rated him? He's a very decent footballer, but all about opinions I guess.

It’s my view that Conway is seriously overrated my some posters on here. It’s an opinion Sturny……..…

I’m not taking refuse in the false security of consensus.

If you haven't watched much in the last 6 weeks then you've missed some decent matches with decent atmospheres. 

I think the point with Manning, and a major reason of why he was an unnecessary gamble - we weren't going nowhere with NP and Liam wasn't a guaranteed winner - is that he's a relatively young manager, learning his trade at this level. He can and does adapt to circumstances. 

This isn't me saying everything is great and we'll shoot up the table next season. It's just you turned off watching perhaps at Manning's worst, and we have experienced some tempo-led, going-for-it games. I don't think Manning has yet established a settled "style" at this club. 

I've been keeping tabs, watched a couple games on iFollow, but my heart isn't in it as much as it used to be. 

This isn't LM or NP related really and nothing to do with how we perform solely on the pitch, it's the whole package for me that I've had enough of and need time away from.

I don't doubt that we have improved over the last 6 weeks, results will also tell you that but it hasn't change my thoughts.

Cardiff at home was my last straw. It's a performance we've all seen at home about 23 times in the last 5 years and it really made me think why do I even bother.

So I figured the best way to voice my anger with the club is by not renewing my ST and not attending as many matches. 

Ultimately the sacking of NP was probably the last straw for me with SL, JL and BT. I'd lost total respect and support for them.

Same here. Felt like I'd have been enabling their behaviour.  I'm in a minority though so watch them get bolder with their bullshit..

It's not just about what's happened for Nige with me. They have their reasons, fair enough. 

The whole club just doesn't feel the same anymore and I'm tired of listening to their BS season after season to just sit right in mid table every single time. 

The style of football I grew up with City playing was very attack minded and with width. We haven't played that way in years.

We have a coach in who likes slow and patient football, which to me just adds to the sterile atmosphere at AG which is like a morgue most weeks. By the way I do hope LM does well and the club is successful because after all it is still my club.

I feel really detached, haven't watched much of us the last 6 weeks, I just feel we're going around the same old cycle again. Get in experience, sack them when they cut costs then employ inexperience... Rinse and repeat.

I actually really dislike JL. He must be one of the most unprofessional chairman you could have across the whole EFL and PL, it's like we are run like a Non league club at times. Ultimately Steve has allowed this to happen and he has a lust for nepotism.

I haven't missed it, I'll pick my games next season and will go to mostly away matches when I can.

Finally, I'd like to apologise to Nigel for ever calling him a curmudgeonly old man. Allardyce is a curmudgeonly old man. Good lord the size of the chip on that bloke's shoulder.

Comes across as an extremely bitter man and never misses a trick to say he was sacked somewhere by a club. Like every other Manager that's ever managed other than the odd very select few.

Feel very vindicated in not renewing my ST for next season after listening to that.

I've not renewed ours. 

Me too.

Man Utd and Man City. Two clubs who have financially made a joke of the English Football in the last 30 years meet in the final for the 2nd year in a row. 

Two detestable football clubs with detestable players and managers. 

I shall not be watching this literal wankfest.

God I ******* hate Man United and I ******* hate VAR.

FA got what they wanted this weekend

Not gonna happen is it

5 minutes ago, DaveF said:

Are United the most unlikeable team in English football?

Comfortably. Some will say Liverpool, but not for me. They take arrogance to new levels.

VAR is another thing ruining this beautiful game

And how many of those PL teams are in the Europa League and Champions League semi finals? ZERO.

So much for it being the 'best League in the World' 

They complain they play too many games, then they expand the Champions League.
It's not that they play too many games, they just feel they play against too many clubs they deem to be too good to share the same pitch as them and don't get enough revenue to play against the likes of Leyton Orient and Walsall. 

No fan has ruined this Sport, the elites have, Sky Sports have, the money has. 

I've said it on here a while ago, Football hasn't been the same for quite a few years now, there just isn't that excitement anymore. Kid's losing interest as they are too busy with Tiktok and short term entertainment. The players are no longer Professional Sportsmen/Athletes with personalities, they're robots who are media savvy, and coached without personality.

Whole Sport is going one way for me and I'm rapidly losing interest in the Sport. 

I very much enjoyed the Six Nations and the entertainment that bought along with it.

Norwich did scout in this area, they also found Andy Rollings from Portishead (North Weston)

Darren Eadie from Corsham came through the Norwich academy. I think he was a Gashead though

It was never ever a penalty

If that was awarded against us we would be livid

Yep. A lot of rose tinted specs on about this Penalty decision. We'd be livid if it was against us.

I’m assuming season ticket sales aren’t going well as I’m sure the club usually release updates on numbers. Also noticed the promotional video being played on TV a few times to promote season tickets. That will come at a cost and seems pretty desperate to me.

Not that cringeworthy Joe Sims advert? If so, thanks for reminding me for another reason why i'm glad I won't be renewing

I find the fact that's a penalty ridiculous.

 

But that's modern football.

It either takes your breath away, puts you to sleep, or makes you go really? 

Common sense should prevail, to give a penalty in the 98th minute like that to a team in their position is sickening and we would all be fuming if it was us.

Football is regressing as a whole.

Never a penalty and common sense should prevail in these circumstances. That could send Huddersfield down. Pretty disgraceful

Is this actually Lez  

The relationship with Ian Gay and Lez reminds me of this relationship:
