The Official Wolverhampton Wanderers v Bristol City Match Day Thread

[KingLear]

First chance to check the score today, happy days 2-1 up at half time! So thought I'd have a look on here, some of the comments when we were 0-1 down after 2 minutes were purely and simply embarrassing. Writing us off after 2 MINUTES?!

Let me do a quick double check....yep I am apparently on the Bristol City fans forum.

Might be a worth a few on here starting "how to be a fan" evening classes. 

Mutual ego-stroking and and air of self-righteousness should provide a warm glow. 

The rest of us can provide praise and criticism where its due. 

Endlessly take the piss out of other's contributions and there is a very obvious irony... 

Criticism where its due but when people criticise for the sake of it because of an irrational dislike of a manager it becomes a bit tiresome

It's just incredibly sad that there are certain 'fans' who just love posting when we concede to say 'I told you we were shit'

In fairness losing 7 from your last 8 and losing in the 9th it kinda stops becoming an irrational dislike for the manager.

Tbf after the run of results we've had I think any manager could realitistically expect to be getting criticised.

Sorry Fordy was typing when you posted that!

Sorry but there are one or two and we all know who they are that just love to be negative and take the negatives from everything. When things are going well you never see them on here.

Dilemma.

Go to the pub to watch the second half of the rugby and have a pint. 

Stay in and listen to the second half of the city game on the radio with no pint.

Dunno what to do.

Disagree slightly as some wrote him off the day he was appointed...

Its now like they want him to fail (because they want shot of him) which means the club fails.

We still might not win today, who knows but to say we will be thrashed 4-0 when we haven't lost by that margin this season is a bit OTT don't you think?

We're not abject or hapless like we were this time last season

Happy Boxing Day City fans everywhere. Take a moment to review the posts so far on this thread and decide for yourself how many fall into the following categories:

Informants - posters who claim to have vital and hitherto unknown information about what's about to happen e.g. incoming / outgoing players and managers. Often such posts start with 'Just seen xx in that chippy in North Street' or 'My sister's, ex-neighbour's, boyfriend knows a tattooist and guess what Tomo is having etched on his left buttock.'

Kneejerk Jerks - a nebulous, constantly evolving sub-section who react to defeats, draws or victories without ever taking a balanced or long-term perspective. They race to their keyboards and thrash away instantly reacting to whatever the current trajectory happens to be. If we have suffered a loss, then the manager must go, whoever is scapegoat of the week is a waste of skin and we are plummeting to relegation. A win and the manager is a tactical genius, his signings a stroke of brilliance, last week's scapegoat a hero and we are heading to the promised land.

Fantasists - those who are persuaded we are on the verge of the Premiership, sometimes referred to as deluded, the blind faithful or eternal optimists.

Seen it all before - posters who will not be phased or surprised by whatever happens, often beginning their posts with 'As a life-long City fan....' or 'I remember when.....'

Realists - contributors who weigh-up the evidence/facts, consider the pros and cons and look to offer something approaching a realistic/balanced view.

Fuelled by emotion - the emotions vary, but frequently include anger, ecstasy, excitement, disappointment, expectation, frustration, disbelief, etc, etc. Often the feelings are so powerful that they simply consume the contributor.

Educational - informative and remarkably well constructed posts which include historical, geographical, statistical, cultural, etc, etc, insights. 

Humour - which covers the whole spectrum, it frequently involves puns, sarcasm, observation, self deprecation, bonding-in-the-moment, low brow, dry wit, jokes at others expense (often the Gas) and over/under statement. Sometimes, for such posts, one word is all that's needed.

Bashers - things are just never good enough, whether it's on or off the pitch it is just not good enough as far as such posters are concerned, otherwise known as the moaners, knockers, pessimists, etc. Gas Bashers make up a separate and discreet grouping.

In x we trust - blind faith/optimism that the gaffer knows what he's doing and will turn it around totally opposed to in x we don't trust.

Outsiders - fans from other clubs who generally start off with 'Hi xx here from xx FC I come in peace' nevertheless in no time at all the poster is involved in heated rows with pretty much everyone. For some unknown reason Gas Heads occasionally appear under this guise.

CTID - regardless of everything else will support the City forever

Look forward to seeing further labels being suggested for OTIB contributors.

Yes. I agree with that. 

But I don't accept that there's no reason to be negative for a number of the others.

Having just watched Tammy's goal; it was a sublime pass by Tomlin.

Obviously it gets worrying when we are on such a poor run but to be slagging people off after two minutes is ridiculous

You could equally say, after losing 7 out of 8, to be set up in such a way to concede after two minutes is ridiculous.
