Unless the efl do away with ffp. It a mess, a huge mess, epic infact. However, sack jos, buy x y z, play whoever, that we cant afford to etc are not an option when you are not allowed to spend. Basically it is what it is. No debate really. So tough, we created it, balls it up, no get out. End of. It is what it is.

Lived in Glasgow for 6 months and loved the local fans, they made out they hated each other, but needed each other and the banter was real. Worked in Leeds for long enough to recognise their fans just hate every other club and revel in it. Always had great banter with blades and other owls, life's too short for falling out over football.

I haven’t seen many say “but x y z” in many a month, despite the barren summer (for obvious reasons) I think many just want the best players to be played, the players to understand their role in the team / squad, and for us to set out a team to try and attack.

Then last night FF not playing caused a massive headache for our coach, he normally likes to play a settled side...but foookin FF bolloxed it up and he had no choice but to make wholesale changes. My bet is he leaves him out when available so he can concentrate on his defensive plans....nearly there now, just a couple more hundred tweaks and we will have the best defence in the league. I'm at a loss as to why people moan, i mean everybody makes mistakes. Careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People whine and moan. That just happens. Fans arnt to blame for 3-0 loss to qpr. Half the team gave up, other half probably arnt up to it. Unfortunately we are going to have to take our medication and live with it for now. Lower your expectations. Anything positive is currently a plus.

Some people go a bit OTT after a bad result, but equally I find it cringeworthy the other way with people making heroes out of the players after 1 good result. yes,true, but that's not a balanced view though is it ? On here lots of contributors go way,way over the top after a defeat and I question their mental stability.I rarely see anyone going overboard on here after 1 good result and perhaps you could point it out the next time it happens.The nearest a lot get to going overboard after a good result is to say " They were ok but the opposition was very poor wasn't it! If youre a true fan,it hurts and makes you angry sometimes when we lose but should make you happy when we win.If you don't support the Owls through thick and thin you really should not come on here.
