They still crow about the Enckelman game, and that was a refereeing mistake anyway, but FFS that was nearly 20 years ago They actually still wish each other "happy Enckleman day" - I've heard and seen it happen. As for the 4-2 at our place (happy Scottish Cafu day !!) I saw a nose post a clip titled "9 minutes of heaven" on Twitter for the time they were 0-1 up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An instant pack mentality reaction is one thing, people in positions of power making jokes having had plenty of time to reflect is something else entirely. yeah and that is fair. just like the celebrations when dion nutted him. not agreeing with it, but many of our fans would do it too but them singing about it afterwards even after they'd had time to digest it, and that freedom of the city banner, just showed them in their true colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got home from Manchester quicker than I have from Small Heath and I only live in Dorridge!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right though, they will try it again. I am unsure of the message their actions transmits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what if one of our players hits back... so many serious issues. I’d much rather just not play them. Anyway let’s hope they drop a few more places this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know they’re shit, and simply come up with the usual excuses if they lose. If they win, they become nauseatingly unbearable, and live off their brief moments of glory for years. There is no benefit to us in continually swatting them away like the irritating bugs they are. Yes, it’s nice to beat them, I’ve been watching us do it since the 1960s. But the very act of playing them ultimately gives them a reason to exist, indeed sometimes it seems like their only reason to pollute this City. So no, let them just wallow in their own irrelevance, and enjoy their desperate attempts to rise above their inherent mediocrity. We’ve got bigger fish to fry than those small fry. Horrible period in the middle of that when we couldn’t get a result against them for love or Money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just seen if they fail to win tonight they will have only won one game in the last twenty league matches. I knew their form was poor, but didn't realise it was quite that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 ha! Six games, only three goals. None from open play. One fluky win. Losing again tonight. Four yellows and a red card. Adam Clayton...isn't he in U2??? No goals for Hogan. Again. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted October 20, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2020 Karanka is such a dour, dull and defensive manager. It nearly worked for him but they broke in the end, they are going to have start looking over their shoulder at that bottom three soon. Norwich need some shooting practise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
