Chris Wilder didn't mention his head coach in paying tribute to his team. Scraping the bottom of the barrel to produce evidence there. What manager does mention his head coach when paying a tribute to his team? There is far more to being a head coach of a Football League club than putting the cones out, distributing the bibs, and washing the shirts, as 1664 other members of this forum know. It's still you banging on about Mr Knill, not me. I hardly ever mention him unless it is to balance out the hysteria in one of your obsessional posts. I am sure you are miffed that the head coach and manager at Northampton Town have managed to turn around 13 points on us in only 3 months. We all are! But do stop making stuff up just to justify your unnatural obsession.

I would love one day to be able to agree with one of your posts ... but that would make us both wrong!

friendlygas wrote:MidDevon and Pea, I agree with you that yesterday we were dreadful and you deserved to win however have a little respect as we are still 8 points ahead of you!! Of course we are concerned and have every right to be. With football as it is nowadays and the FFP a team that gets crowds three times the size of most teams in this division have EVERY right to expect their team to at least be CHALLENGING a top ten spot because they should be able to get together a better team. That is not being cocky that is a fact. What we have had to put up with this year is as you have said embarrassing but at the end of the day we support our club and are no different from each of you.
IMO after yesterdays game you should be heaping praise on YOUR team and not downing the opposition. Get your house in order rather than down the opposition. For all our problems the consolation is that we still have an evens chance of staying up.

If you manage to stay up and we go down then you have every right to come on here and boast but at this present time perhaps all your efforts should be on your own team.
If you knew our supporters then you would know that we are far from having a big club reputation as we have long been the poor relations and in many aspects are similar in that to yourselves. There are not many clubs who would get a crowd of 6900 in the position we are in and watching the tripe we have been dished up and to be honest if you were in our position in the league compared to you with our home record would you not have expected to have beaten us?

I actually have a great deal of respect for your club and in the ideal world we would both be staying up but please give us supporters a bit of respect.All clubs have some supporters with egos but dont paint us all with the same brush. At the end of the day tables don't lie and you are where you are for a reason BUT so are we. Neither is a great position for a supporter to be in and at this moment in time I feel that the two teams to be relegated will definitely be yourselves and us and I don't like it one bit!!

Getting a bit chilly now anyway as the sun is dropping (although I expect Mr Knill will get the blame for that in your obsessed mind!)

You know you've made it when you have a stalker! <!>

friendlygas wrote:FerrariRover,
You have got it totally wrong other than the 20,000 stadium on the horizon and the three times your gates. I am not crowing about being 8 points above you. I would be crowing if we were 28 points above you!! What i was saying was to the two people who I directed it at. You deserved to win yesterday but surely you should be praising your team for their performance rather than disrespecting our supporters and team. Yes I agree we were awful but perhaps some of that was down to how well you played.As regards trophies and success it is quite probable that over the last 50 years YOU actually have more trophies than us!
Size of the supporter base actually means nothing in football terms or Bristol would have a team in the top 6 of the Premiership as we are the sixth largest City .
I take pride in supporting my club rather than being a "Manchester united" or "Liverpool" fan..you are only a "TRUE" fan of the team that represent the City you were brought up or live in as far as I am concerned and therefore I have the utmost respect for "supporters" of their club however small. Regards
