If our squad can perform to the best of it's ability consistently then we will challenge for the title, I know you obviously want us to challenge but get a bit more behind them. We can through effort, determination, quality and a bit of luck win the title this year, and there's definitely enough team spirit to manage this in the Odsal camp.

Nobody is behind them more than me.

People presume too much, they may have only tasted success or near success, and time has taught me that no team, not us, not Man U, not Barcelona, not Leeds United, not Derby County, not Nottingham Forest, not Chicago Bears, not the West Indies, not Australia, nobody can be at the top all the time, forever.

For the avoidance of doubt, on another thread I said of him "You must be so gutted tonight, you defeatist negative sanctimonious excuse of a Quisling." That was posted in the heat of the moment, in the full flush of our unexpected victory..

You did indeed, and on the said thread I gave a pretty fair answer as far as I was aware. Did you not see it? Duckman certainly did.

I can only assume that you did not see it or else you would not feel the need to reproduce your prose on another thread (perhaps you did not get enough people praising you for it so you thought you would double your chances of success?)

Anyway, as I said, I posted a reply to you in what I thought was a fair way giving a good assessment of the match where I gave the team and the coach the credit they deserve, yet it clearly is not enough for you. It certainly seems that I am damned if I do and damned if I don't.

However, now I have had time to reflect on it...I would not change one word I said.

I think you are trying to give me some abuse but when I find out what a "Quisling" actually is I will be better informed to comment. Pretty good word to use in Scrabble though so I will keep it in mind.

Edited for accuracy. Whatever it was, it was no fluke and it is very ungracious of you to pick that word. As a win, it was 100% merited, they worked their backsides off and played well to do it. I suspect this annoys you, and this is why in a rush to disparage it, you picked a completely inappropriate noun.

I think you are deliberately misquoting again FA. The win last night was most certainly not a fluke, as I have mentioned elsewhere. The point I was making is that unless the team can start performing like that more regularly in big games and last nights result is a one-off then it would look like a fluke result.

Which would be unfair.

Yes it was a dig, a dig at someone who has posted a fair amount of unfair and insulting crap over the last few months especially. The team and coaching has deserved criticism but some on here have gone way beyond what I would deem fair or warranted. Just my thoughts.

Fair enough. But when the club media man's mouthpiece on here suggests that I should "consider suicide" (a post that subsequently was rightfully removed) then I think any comments I have made look kinda tame in comparison.

Agreed. Frustration obviously can get the better of some when we're talking about something many of us are all passionate about.
