Bit harsh on the OP.
This. We all have a breaking point when things don't go smoothly. It has certainly been very trying these last few games. Let's hope the OP gets his mojo back pretty soon.

Shocked to see that some on this thread are thinking of giving today’s game a miss. Genuinely shocked
Walked the dogs instead. Bloody great and will end up having to repeat it now to keep the points coming.

I wouldnt have missed it if I could have gone but I've always hated watching us on the telly..I find it exhausting

You only sing when you're winning..........The whole point of supporting is when the club is down you stay UP.........................well in my opinion of course :albion2:

That’s the problem I won’t, even the Liverpool win gave only a blip of pleasure. I hope it comes back but right now I’m cold to it.

I was delighted when we were promoted to the top league and purchased a season ticket for the first time, at the end of the first season i began to realise that the days of entertaining football and playing sides who we were capable of defeating were not often, at the end of the second season i knew that to survive we had to mainly play a defensive style which bored me and i did not renew my season ticket.
I feel that in the Championship with our present coach and the majority of the team we could again turn on an entertaining display and be able to secure a position in the top half of the league

Out of interest, when we were in the championship, how many games did you get to go and see?
 


It's not Potter, tho his nerdy fan club do need to grow up a bit. It's more the accumulated drag of 4 successive relegation campaigns, our entire training and experience as football fans means we do crave a bit more variety than this. There is no obvious answer to this of course, getting out of the eternal bottom 5 scrap is mega hard and will probably take more than spending than the board want to do. Catch 22, more of the same next season or do a Norwich yo-yo? Getting the striker we need that will cheer everyone up seems to be beyond us

What would be interesting to know is how many of those that have fallen out of love with the football are a) season ticket holders, b) long term season ticket holder ie, in excess of 7 years say, c) those that did match by match, maybe 2/3rds of the home games and d) those that went three or four times a season.

I didn't believe in the power of my Portland Mavericks t-shirt, but it's been on for all wins and once again it's won through.

I guess you missed the excellent interview with him on radio 5 a few weeks ago. He was teased a bit at the start about his reticence when interviewed about the Albion. But when talking about his life he was a different man entirely. Funny, engaged, forthcoming....at the end they asked him about our next game and he switched instantly into his midlands verion of EL Wisty, and the interviewers all laughed.

Alf Ramsey put on a posh accent and used weird expressions like 'most certainly' when interviewed by the media, but in real life with the players he was quite different. Potter's the same. It's obvious.

I have mentioned previousy that some of the vitriol thrown at Potter on here by a minority of prats (one recently banned, again, I see) is little more than bullying. Bloke doesn't talk and act like he's in a gang or down the pub so people pick on him, like we used to flick the ear of a boy in our class with big ears, and kick the back of his legs under his chair, back in the day, because we were little shits.

This.

Like you, I detest bullying, in fact it makes me go the other way and support the intended victim even more.

A 10/10 performance from GP today, he left Hasenhuttl in a spin, with the hapless Vestergaard and Bednarek arguing amongst themselves as our passing and moving left them for dead.

Indeed, us nerds should learn from the balanced “out” club’s wise men :lolol:

Another one that needs to suck it up and actually ENJOY a win, not try and denigrate those who support the manager through the tough times.

QED - make a strategic point about 5 years of recent Albion history - and this is all the very ageing nerds can come up with

I don’t actually believe that you can’t see the improvement over the last two seasons, you just don’t like being wrong. You 100% have an agenda against Potter, for whatever reason. :smile:

I’m loving your ageist comment too, not content with ageing, it needs to be very ageing :lolol:
