Was really disappointed with the fans on the weekend chanting to the Bournemouth fans you're shit. Absolutely no need for it!Exactly. They did it for 21 consecutive years, and had finished above us for 7 consecutive seasons before it was coined as a term (2002 it was first used, and before last year they'd finished above us every year since 1995/96).
It would be brilliantly small time for us to do it literally the minute we do it two consecutive seasons. Just like it was chanting 'You're shit' at Bournemouth at the weekend, who are far beneath us in terms of finances and had given us a very good game and we got away with a scoreline that flattered us.
In fact, most things about modern fandom are hugely small-time. Best to stay above it all

I agree with most of this, but am undecided on the "you're shit" chant being thrown at less successful clubs. I know some Millwall who were having a moan about us telling them they are shit at the Lane. I mean, would they rather a pat on the head? A round of applause and some platitudes about thanks for taking part? Its only innocuous football banter after all. Much better than some of the poisonous stuff that gets chanted
Truth is even if we don't label the day we finish above them as soon as one day they finish above us they will be rubbing it in our faces again.

I do t like stooping to their level so why don’t we just call us St Totteringham day too. It would hurt them just that little bit more.
All we can go all Jewish in them and call it Passover
