...tits last night, listening to the Century phone in as I was working. A constant stream of Sunderland supporters proclaiming their faith and fimly convinced that they were on the way up. Then...it dawnwd on me.... contrast that with the Private Fraser attitude that roams this board like a welcome virus in some quarters. By all means whinge when things are going tits up, but this board is so f***ing contrary...we had unyielding, totally illogical support for Scotty when the writing wasn't just on the wall but lit up with neon!!!! Even now it is politely forgotten, yet we have posters examining pedantically every little move and development both on and off the field.
NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THIS ....but we could start learning a thing or two from those Sunderland fans and stop whining and adding to the air of 'cleverdickishness' and peevishness that runs rampant on here lately.

When the writing was indeed on the wall was when the board finally decided to act!!!

Last season Ripper, everybody was struck down by 'rabbits in the headlights' syndrome. There was a collective dismissive hand wave that we would pull through....look what happened. The one good thing to come out of last seasons relegation was the dip in the cold shower that made us relise that nothing can be taken for granted. Wilsons job is to turn the ship around, it's turning now, so would some of the passengers please stop complaing if the turning motion are causing their drinks to spill in the bar....?

Fully agree Mr Snowy.

Pools are on the up again, enjoy the ride!

No Ripper, they acted when there was blood on the wall not writing.

Ahem.... I do hope you're not including me in this 'Scotty will be ok' clique. I refused to go to any games when Scott was in charge from November onwards and even before that I was convinced he was dire.

No, it was definitely writing. Blue paint I seem to recall of the spray variety. In fact, looking at the shade of colour used I believe that it was Wilkinson's own brand.

Jack Wilkinson was sniffing aerosols? No wonder he wasn't getting a game!

The problem last season was that every time the screaming for Scotty's head got louder, he'd come up with a half decent result to quieten down fence sitters like myself. It was the home defeat to Yeovil that changed a lot of your minds (right, Ripper?) but then he went and got a decent draw at Swansea to prolong the agony. It took the Blackpool match to finally put an end to any remaining support (or even neutrality, like mine) that he had.

I can only console myself by telling myself that making my voice heard earlier - and everyone else's for that matter - wouldn't have made the slightest, teeniest bit of difference.
It took a certain ex-mackem to break the hold.

I never said it was my radio, or logically I wouldn't have said it was getting on my tits would I......DO THINK !

Don't forget, your face is known to me. We have ways of making you think...mind, you may prove the exception

points taken slushy

from my point of view i think i've been stung too bad by scott, and subsequently its made me suspicious, and as results were bad from the off i got a bad feeling

i am seeing yours and others points of view and really hope this is the start of summat great again

I was puzzled as to why you couldn't actually speak and the silver fox was just asking you to nod. Then as you started turning a reddish purple colur...then and only then did I realise you were holding your duvet in....

...and I love you too sweety.

LISTEN UP DIBBS
dont take that from a bloke who came to a pools match in a retro loid shirt

i will stop inviting him into my circle of friends

IT WAS A BULK BUY.... our lass said it looked...'nice' and that if I wore it, it would be a talking point.

I dunno, just fancied a rant.....

mampi liked the look of him

Jeeeeez this is like visiting time in the 'Pissy Pants Home for Distressed Gentlefolk with learning difficulties'......
