"Deep fried chocolate bars" sounds like a dare, and when you hear the ingredients in a Haggis you'd think the same, but they're genuinely bloody marvellous. Deep fried pizza however is an abomination.I had one of those once. Went into a chippy in Edinburgh in the '90s and was pleasantly surprised that they did pizza, so I ordered one with chips. Just as I was looking around for the pizza oven, bloke serving gets a small, white circular thing out of a freezer and chucks it into the deep fat fryer. When it came out it was strangely brown in colour (or should that be color ) but I must admit it didn't taste too bad, and it was also part of a hangover cure! I tried it once. I did not try it twice.

Why do you seem to think calling an American, a Yank is offensive ? Do you get upset when folk from the penal colony are called Aussies 🤷 This has been mentioned before. But depending on where a person is from in the US, it is offensive to call them a 'yank' Depending on where you are from, some people in the UK take offense (see what I did there?) at being called a Brit. Hope you're enjoying this US-related thread Justasmithers!

So 340 votes, how many season ticket holders are there 🤔 Like I said, this forum is a very small X section of fan base, and those who want to complain are usually the most vocal. DATM is perhaps an arguably small section % wise, but I can't really see any reason why it wouldn't be representative (only barrier I can see is use of a computer, which TBH isn't really much of a barrier any more). A sample size of 340 is generally considered adequate, and when the sample is saying 90% plus he should go, I think you're clutching at straws to suggest there isn't strong evidence to suggest the majority of the fanbase have had enough of him. Its not a sample size of 340 though. Its 340 people who have expressed an opinion on a thread that has had 34,000+ views. At the matches there's barely any Moore out sentiment being vocalised.

Thank the Lord for westislandterrier is all I'll saay!

Is there any point stating the obvious. Everyone knows he's going, the only question is when. Problem is he keeps getting the odd point here and there and new excuses keep presenting themselves. Still, hopefully not much longer or it will be too late.

If the poll showed somewhere near close results fair enough but it is 92% in favour of him going. That is a landslide. If those same results came in a poll for any other topic they would be viewed as a good indication.

If those same results came in a poll for any other topic they would be viewed as a good indication. Agreed its multiple views. There have been over a 1000 different usernames logged in since the poll was posted. So around a third of people who have been on the forum have said they don't or didn't believe Moore is the right man to manage Town. Thats a vocal minority - who will all interpret the simple question differently. Not all would would want him immediately sacked for example even though at the time they responded to the poll they were saying they didn't think he was the right man. I didn't think Carlos was the right man to manage Town, even through his final successful season. But I didn't think he should be kicked out and replaced. There simply *isnt* (yet) a significant anti-Moore feeling being displayed at games..and thats the only place where it really matters. It did feel like that may happen a couple of times on Saturday, in the couple periods of moaning when things were falling apart...but it didn't. I heard a solo shout of "Moore Out" at the final whistle from halfway up the South Stand, thats it. Get less than 4 points from these next two away games and things would likely change a LOT for the visit of Wednesday of course, because of all the other factors that would focus the attention...a likely lively away support climbing upwards from the relegation zone, playing their ex manager, first home game in 3 weeks and first game after January pay day, and after transfer window is shut etc etc.

He works in the media back home (radio show) & does similar chats online regarding Sac/Kings plus other topics, says he has no influence or input re; on the pitch......That we should respect. Haha no apologies needed. It was a terribly kept secret anyway. I just didn’t want to overstep. Best to think I’m a new guy trying to be one of you, who happens to have a line to the chairman. Just a conduit, but mainly as I’ve always said here to read, listen and learn. However since I just returned and got to finally experience a match and many of you in person, it’s hard for me not to speak openly, if for no other reason to communicate how much pride I felt in you all, how much you love your club, and how much I KNOW that Kevin, the wonderful staff at Town, and all else involved will work to get things where they need to be. I’m really so very excited. I thought it was obvious who you were from the UTT docs which I watched for the 1st time just before Xmas. Back to work for you today after the holidays & plenty to catch up on with the NFL play offs underway etc.......Maybe look up the show later on podcast/youtube, no doubt you will be filling in your listeners of the trip to Yorkshire at some point..UTT.

Its interesting, not sure why that is. To me it seems the vast majority on Social Media and the vast majority of those i speak with personally have wanted DM out for a couple of months now, but its never become a vocal thing on match day......... Do the majority of folk who attend actually support him as they think he's not got much to work with???

Say nowt on a matchday but then go home and post "Moore Out" on Twitter.

When / if he has the correct tools to work with I think we all agree he likely has enough to get the team away from the relegation threat - at least that’s what I believe. HOWEVER the fact remains that he is a PR nightmare and needs some training…….

Wasn't there anti Moore chants at Leeds? I thought I'd seen it on here/twitter. I wouldn't know properly I'd fucked off back to the pub after 30 mins.

It is like other words such as Pakistani, for example, being abbreviated.

As I said earlier, you choose to only see the negatives. But that's fine, if that's what you want to do, then fair enough. I know what I can see in front of me so let's just leave it at that. What I will say though is that I agree with you that some people are intentionally starting arguments with you which appears to be evidenced above. I'm not sure where the Corberan thing has come from. Tbh, I thought the Corboran thing was someone pulling his pisser because he'd done 2 posts where he'd mentioned Carlos in a way he usually doesn't 🤷😉

Hope you're enjoying this US-related thread Justasmithers! I wouldn’t find it offensive, unless it was in a baseball reference as I’m a Giants fan. I still think it’s funny a team actually plays at a place called Bellend Road. I didn’t even know what that meant until I got here

One of the directors was American and heard me using the phrase. She then explained what I explained to you.

I thought it was general terminology, or it just the UK military that always call Americans (servicemen) Spams?
Nothing derogatory, they're just Spams. Worked with lots of them over the years.
