With us in the past season, more a case of us not letting in more than we need (as we weren't being successful)

 

The fans will always want their team to score
as many goals as possible.Celebrating goals
is probably the best thing about watching your
team.

 

Yep, just about needed a rehearsal to remember how to
celebrate! I'm nervous about how many non performers
we'll have at start of season and will it affect morale with
new recruits?

 

I'm sure Javi Gracia would have also been complementary of City's display yesterday they are the team you set the bar too.
The only problem with that is the vast majority of teams (even in the Premier League) have no way of competing with Manchester City's financial clout.

 

Mate we've both been watching football for over 60 years, when was it ever different?
Cash is king, (sadly)

 

You're correct up to a point, back in the day you had mainly local business men who'd done well who usually owned their local clubs.
Bob Lord at Burnley.
Harry Reynolds, Manny Cussins, Leslie Silver at Leeds.
Peter Johnson, John Moore's at Everton
The Moores family at Liverpool
Louis Edwards then Martin Edwards at Manchester United, the examples are endless.
The big movers and shakers only got interested when they saw what rewards the Sky deal could deliver, but it would be nonsense to say in our case we would not want to be a part of the benefits a wealthy owner could bring to our club even at our level.
So unfortunately as you say the big money goes to the top clubs and the also ran's can fight over the scraps.

 

If you're asking me to choose between a trophy laden team in a state of the art stadium or pissing about in the khazi league travelling to Morecambe, i'm going to have to politely disagree.

 

Carry on and do what? Keepy ups
on the halfway line. Behave yourself and grow a pair. I've learnt more from losing the odd battle than I ever learnt from winning one.

 

Irrespective of what you meant, @How is correct, it is “an absolute load of rubbish”. Hold back? WTF

 

Don’t hold back. Say what you feel lol. I don’t think I have ever said you don’t play to win. If it had been against a rival I would have said go for it as creates psychological damage for next year. Watford aren’t a rival and aren’t one of the usual finalists. Therefore I think there are odd occasions when you can show an element of mercy. You are being simplistic which I think suits you and spreading my point to apply to all games and occasions which is clearly not where I’m coming from.

 

Manchester City take pitty on no one as Burton and Nigel Clough can vouch for.

 

Probably why us Bradford City fans have been so negative our lack of goal celebrations last season.

 

Biggest load of bollocks I have ever read. Anybody who as ever played football will know that you keep on trying to score till the last minute. Liverpool v Palace a few years back a prime example.

 

I'm not envious, should City turn into anything like Man City I'm outta here....

 

I agree they should carry on but it's definately not bollocks. I remember Michu saying that they'd killed the game and near enough stopped playing out of respect and you could tell that they had.

 

Carry on and keep playing. If you read it I'm agreeing that teams shouldn't stop, what I was saying is that it does happen.

 

It's not the colloseum in Rome. Thumbs up thumbs down job. If you're miles above your opposition, give them a good hiding.

 

I'm agreeing with you?? I'm just saying regardless of what you and I think it happens.
