hypochondriac

Seeing as this thread is now semi famous I just want to say that anyone who took the time to write to the BBC about this is a huge mong. How utterly utterly pathetic.

S4 is much better imo. You can always buy a spare battery, download SwiftKey which is a much better keyboard not sure why your bluetooth is unreliable, mine always worked well.

Ah well. Season over anyway. Roll on next season

That's the point.

Nonsense aintforever. We have our own lifesaving pilot friend of Derry and weston right here to tell us how wrong that is. Right?

The comparison was specific to derry.

Flying a plane doesn't qualify you to talk with such certainty on all plane related matters, just as managing a Sunday league team doesn't make you a managerial expert.

Lol. Nail on the head Tim.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to just take your word that this anonymous "West Stand" is some sort of superhero. Considering your fondness for being seen as some sort of high and mighty on here, it wouldn't surprise me if you were greatly exaggerating the skills of this random individual to make yourself look better. The idea that he knows something that the rest of the world do not is clearly nonsense.

I think you are trying to cause mischief Duncan by suggesting that we are offloading players. The truth is that of course the local paper are going to use words like starlet. Have you seen the Portsmouth news and how they big up their signings? If he leaves it will be because we said he had no future here.

Oh dear. Yet another one who completely misunderstood that avatar. I'm not explaining that one again, I've already had to due to Alpine about five times. Not sure what that has to do with this conversation anyway.

That's not gratitude, it's called complying with employment law.

I afforded the same gratitude to cortese that he showed Adkins. I moved on a long time ago and am looking forward to our new leadership and the fan friendly approach. It seems that some are stuck in the past and can't move past it.

Some were devastated he left, others recognised that we could well be better off and we're excited for the future. Cortese is the past and we move on.

Being serious for a second, do you really want ed representing Britain on the world stage? It was such a facepalm moment when they chose him over his brother.

Yep. There is probably room for both versions, as long as the original is still kept and used.

Good for you. I don't think it makes any difference financially but I suspect the majority prefer the traditional one so I'm glad it may be changed back.

And to think he will probably be the next Prime Minister. I despair.

Pretty sure we had a poll last summer that suggested you were in the minority thankfully.

That is the absolute best and even I would buy that.

If by populist approach you mean caving in to all the demands of the fans then I agree with you, but I don't think that's what anyone is saying here. When Arsenal designed their new stadium and had motifs of all their old legendary players was that a populist approach? Was it a populist approach when saints had their centenary kit with no sponsor? Is installing bobby Charlton at united a populist approach? When any number of clubs make gestures that recognise their history, it doesn't mean they cave in to every wim of the fans, it means they recognise that respecting history, having a mix of the traditional and the modern is what the majority of fans want. You aren't going to please all fans all of the time of course but doing something to listen to the wishes of the fans is surely better than ignoring fans all together? Or are you saying you support the Hull Tigers idea or the mess that Tan has made over in Cardiff?

Because I would guess (though have no figures to back it up) that most supporters would prefer it that way. Football fans in general like the history and traditions of their club and sensible owners tend to embrace that and make it part of the club's future (see huge clubs like United, Liverpool and Arsenal for details.) It isn't exactly harming us at any rate, unless you think that the gold and silver crests somehow made us a mint.

Why does making the crest the traditional colour and maybe having stripes equal destroying what Cortese has built and returning us to a tiny club? What a pathetic point of view.

Agreed. It's even worse than this year.

Or maybe most people realise the two are not mutually exclusive and you can be successful and 'fan friendly?'
