  1. Is all this fuss cos we're not winning games anymore? I see that a big problem stated is ticket prices. Fair enough. Agree with that. But not sure what else is the problem. Fans were kissing his bum bum when he arrived and spent loads. It was fever pitch when we signed Rhodes for 10 million or whatever it was. But that didn't work so we got penalised. Then I see fans talk about needing to be being well run by not spaffing loads of cash and having a long term plan based on buying young / unproven diamonds in the rough and selling them a few seasons later for a significant profit like other clubs have. Chansiri starts this season by not spaffing loads of cash and seems to be buying young / unproven diamonds in the rough with the potential to sell them a few seasons later for a significant profit. Now fans want him to spend again. Da fuq? Bad call with the new manager. Not worthy of all this fuss though. None of this would be happening if we were winning.
  2. Maybe it's rose tinted specs time but one of the things I remember and what helped to hook me, was hearing the crowd singing as you walked to the ground. Way before kick off. And no deafening music playing over the speakers or forced sing-a-long Hi-Ho Sheffield Wednesday. Players would just run out to their respective ends to the roar of the crowd. Think the loud music before kick off doesn't help atmosphere as that's all you can hear for 5 minutes or so and then it just gets cut as the game kicks off, leaving a kind of void awkward silence.
  3. They should allow some of the young YouTube vloggers to stand in. Picture that hyperactive CodsVlogs kid having a go at it. Be far more entertaining.
  4. 'Heading footballs and kicking people!' Good lad. Must be hard for him seeing us do well and not being able to be a part of it.
  5. Stumble our way to automatic promotion on the last day against Derby. Players waiting on the pitch for other results / goal difference to go our way. Start the new season in the Championship with a sell-out home game against Leicester. Finish 2023 in 3rd place, nicely poised to get autos to the Prem as Chansiri *sensibly* spends the cash needed to get us over the line.
  6. Those first four games are absolute gems to pick up maximum points from. If we actually play like we want to win and seize the opportunity then it has to be at least 12 points. Carry on with the current trend of playing not to lose and we'll end up with around 5 points.
  7. It has that same feel about it as that time when the players didn't get paid. If they are getting paid, I don't know how the players and Moore can look themselves in the mirror after that. Shameful performance.
  8. I'm an old fashioned bugger as well. Don't like any walk-on music or Hi Ho and all that stuff. Drowns out any spontaneity and soul. Should be just players sprinting out of the tunnel towards the Kop with the roar of the crowd and whatever song or chants the fans feel like singing.
  9. Pressed post before I could finish! But.. Can't remember the last time I left Hillsborough with my voice hoarse from cheering on sustained pressure and attempts on goal. It's dull as fuck. FGR game second half - had a chance for double figures and to fill up our goal difference. That +5 from last week is now rubbed out to a +3 cos we just played it out like a training session. In our other home wins, we've been shite. Portsmouth had most of the ball after the first 15 minutes and should have won. Charlton dominated us and should have won. We fluked it. FGR was weird. And today we got absolutely bullied and bossed by Barnsley. Nothing for the home crowd to get excited about that would whip up a storm of an atmosphere and push the lads to victory. No. Instead, we get faffing around the back. Pedestrian, checking back when in good positions and slow, laboured, telegraphed periods of dull posession when we do have the ball. Loads of people in football have said we have the best squad in the league or at least one of the best. Get them to play on the front foot and give us something to, ya know - get excited about. Can Moore get them doing that? I doubt it but he'll have a few games yet to try a different approach. If he doesn't change, it's all up to Mr. Chansiri and what his tipping point is.
  10. He's managed to make a great squad absolutely boring as fuck to watch. All our performances so far this season have been unconvincing, strangely even against FGR where we scored 5.
  11. Sneaky feeling that this will be the first time we see Bannan rested or used as a sub. I'd like to see a midfield 3 of Byers, Adeniran and Bakinson. Think there's a nice balance there with Byers the defensive mid, Adeniran the attacking midfielder and Bakinson just ranging about and policing everything. But it's likely that I'm completelty wrong and we'll see Valuks, Bannan and Bashiru start again.
  12. Season starts proper for me today. The Portsmouth game was a bit dull weather-wise. Didn't feel like it was the curtain rasier it should've been. But today should be a great day at Hillsborough. Sunshine, beers, that FanZone open with decent weather. Get the voices lubricated, lets have a laugh and make a cracking atmosphere. Even more so if we smash Charlton with a goal blitz. I feel it in the water. 4-0 to us.
  13. HI all, I'm The Internet. I like tits, fanny and The Wednesday. And I drive an Audi.
