Not sure what the motivation is to do so. I have always been grateful for what I've got, not making fun of those who haven't. just a weird thread.

Just curious what the attraction is?.......there is plenty more managers and clubs to start a thread about too....but we don't.....just the same old tune. Have we still got too many cabbages left, with nothing to do with them. Edited December 24, 2020 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just detracts from such a good time, we are having. laughing at other folks misfortunes, is not a great trait to have.....it has a habit of coming back to bite you.

Have we still got too many cabbages left, with nothing to do with them. No other manager was the last man to manage us. Plenty of people still mention managers from 50 years ago on a daily basis. There is a little bit of a rivalry with Newcastle over the last few years since we relegated them. Bruce is playing dreadful football there with all the old cliches after every game e.g. 'I wont make excuses, but' and Newcastle fans are starting to really hate their lot. Hence there is a little bit of petty enjoyment of their situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers from yesteryear are brought up in positive circumstances, not ridicule. the last line explains it very well ,my cue to leave this thread.

For Ron Saunders that's true. I also read Garde, Sherwood and MON's names on here quite frequently. The Paul Lambert thread is still somewhat active. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Arteta get plenty of stick in their respective teams threads. Good for you for being the better man, but for a lot of people half the enjoyment of football is fans taking the piss out of each other. As for you leaving the thread, I'll believe it when I see it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 When there's a discussion going on that I have no interest in, I just don't go to that thread tbh. Seems to work for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, not hard to understand why fans would revel in the misery of Newcastle fans given what's gone on between us in the past, then you chuck in Bruce on top who will still be discussed until he's finally hounded out of football for being a fraud (not whilst Robbie savage has his cheerleading skirt on though) If they dropped out of the PL and didn't have Bruce in charge then this thread goes quiet, if Bruce had stayed manager of Sheffield Wednesday then his thread goes quiet but as it is they're in and around where we will be so of course we'll talk about them, same with Leeds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on Bruce, I think the man's a word removed. Lambert though, I view him as a nice enough bloke. Just a pretty crap manager. No hard feelings from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
