Problem is mate most of these cunts would struggle to tell you what day of the week it is. When I had my ST there was a bloke who had one within earshot who gave some really unpleasant, personal abuse to players when they were having a bad day. But next game if they were having a decent game the same player was god's gift and the England manager was an ignorant cunt for not picking him. The bloke was a warehouse worker for a supermarket and I often wondered if, when he was having a bad day on his forklift, how he would react if a crowd of blokes were standing behind him shouting stuff like Oi you dopy cunt those fucking Rice Krispies don't go there---fuck orfff
To be honest, many fans, especially these days are often bipolar. Win a game and the manager is a genius, tactics were brilliant, players are superb etc. Lost one and the players are tired, the tactics are wrong, the manager knows nothing and the players need replacing.
It is a symptom of the way football is in general, the way the Premier League nowadays is set up where everyone demands instant results, Media, clubs, owners and that filters down to the fans but starts with the media. I guarantee that John Lyall and maybe even Ron Greenwood would never have been given a chance in todays game as it is a win immediately mentality nowadays.
Never better exemplified than when we played Brighton and drew 1-1 and followed it up 2 and a half days later with a 3-2 win v Chelsea.
As soon as big money comes in to sports, attitudes change. Look at other working men's sports of yesteryear. Boxing, darts, snooker, it's like a circus.
