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??? 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……. We definitely don’t all agree, that is whole reason behind this debate.

Good stuff. I was there. Sadly, it was a shit game and we lost. History is very important. The future, more so. It's important to a minority, sadly. Most don't care. As we've seen on here, it is largely ignored but the work continues, and the club have really improved on that score, recently.Not just with inviting players back but also recognising those that have passed away as well. Oi Lee I thought you only posted negative shit

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. Like you I've only ever heard Yanks referred to as Spams by servicemen. Same as nobody in civilian life knew what the hell I was talking about when I told them my gf in HK was the daughter of a Crab** ** RAF

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 ! 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 I know I'm being a killjoy but just in case it's got lost in translation; I take it that you've deliberately chosen to use the pejorative misnomer used by Town fans and that it isn't actually called that!

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! Do they? I've genuinely never heard of that. I consider myself English ahead of being British but I don't get how anyone would find it offensive, nor have I ever met anyone who did.

Top man Dave. Name me another club in the top 2 leagues that essentially has a direct link to the owner through a fans messageboard and Twitter. Remember jackass ? Never seen this before or knew Hoyle had an account, this is absolutely priceless. Thread titles like 'who wants to wear my lucky 1995 Wembley wig' and mellow-esque posts like 'HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'. Where did it all go wrong eh

One of the people I sit with want him gone. They are not 100% convinced, but they are also aware the squad is weak beyond the first choice 11. Carlos went 3 wins in 27, if it wasn't for lock down I'm sure he'd have gone, but he made it to a second season and 90 mins from Premier league. Carlos was tactically superb. Moore has one system and plays it even though he doesn't have the players to carry it off He can't have been that tactically superb when we were 3 wins in 27. He had better players then than we have now too.

He had better players then than we have now too. Because he tried to play an exciting style of play, in which we didn’t have the players for. He adjusted the next season, and whilst we weren’t often great to watch, we were pragmatic and nearly got to the PL.

There were also many positive signs in his first season even though performances tailed off. Hence the patience from a lot of fans. Very different situation to this one imo.

The main reason he received barely any criticism was because the whole season was played without crowds.

Aside of this thread being about Kev’s pal, I think/hope that many would agree that missing Burgzorg is a huge miss to us playing on the front foot.
A real shame that Blackburn lad didn’t suffer anything more than a yellow. It would be poetic justice if DB were fit for the game on Sat and he scored the winner from a pen after that lad chopped him down again…

I've genuinely never heard of that. I consider myself English ahead of being British but I don't get how anyone would find it offensive, nor have I ever met anyone who did. Interesting. My timeline on Twitter is full of it. You only have to see the crowds, hear the chants or see the banners at a Celtic v Rangers match. But I could be wrong. 🤷♂️ Let's not hijack a Justasmithers thread though, hey? Can we get Carmichael Dave masks?😳
