maybe give them more as incentive but you can't say "0.00" for not winning thats well harsh :lol: can you imagine berbs scoring 4 and our shit defence leaking 5. berbs wouldn't get paid! the he couldn't afford mortgage repayments and then his house would get taken away and he'd live on the street because he has no money and he'll end up watching the game on tv with me :lol:

Get a grip Mr Threadstarter. In fact you've really pissed me off with this thread. I've just paid 30 odd quid to sit down in the rain, get moaned at by stewards to sit down when I dare stand up, and you're sitting at home with your slippers on having a fucking dig.

WHOOOOAAAA Chris - steady on geeza.

You are the standard bearer for everyone being entitled to an opinion - and he's aired his. I'm not a regular at the Lane either for many reasons but I can still emapthise with someone who has an angle on the game that you might not have.

You may be angry but so is he and so am I.

OK £1000 for a loss. Thats still over £45,000 - £50,000 per year if they lost every game.

I do find it quite ironic how people can criticise the support in the ground from the comfort of their own home / pub.

I try to respect everyone's opinion, even Gibbsy's, and I'm in no way suggesting that as a season ticket holder my opinion more or less valid than the next persons. I also respect that not everyone can go to every game, or any game, and that this does not make them any less of a supporter than those of us that do.

But please, I sing my lungs out every game, to the point where I lose my voice, through good times and bad, hungover or flu ridden, or in full health. I don't want thanks, a medal etc, I do this for the love of my team.

Whether due or not, I do get wound up when people criticise the support. We have one of the best, if not the best, atmosphere's in any ground I have been to.

We came second in the noise decibel levels to Sunderland, ie ahead of Pompey and everybody else, nothing wrong with our support, the loudest in London and Southern England!!!!

I think Ramos saw the potential in the team today, but I don't think he agreed with the tactics.

He must have have been wearing glasses which possess super seeing powers to have seen any potential in todays performance

it's a bit hard to get anything going when only 1 stand wants to sing i was in east lower near the paxton and there was not much singing, anything that did start came from the park lane.

I'll take my big ginger cat with me too and when my chair swivels round to face Levy I can stroke my cat and look like a baddy from a Bond movie. I like it.

I think you can take a lot of positives from the game. In the first half we played some decent football at times, but again it is the little luck and the fact of being effective.

After the 1-0 lead, the tactics destroyed the game, but we also became a victim of Blackburn's two most feared players - McCarthy and Samba. (Both African players, by the way).

Understood Tone, but I'm sorry, if he's having a pop at his own fans that's not on. So I'm gonna 'sing' my view. Which I did. I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to have a go about the team because you can see things differently on TV. I know this - and his opinion is as valid as anyone's. But having a pop about the fans being there is a different kettle of fish, and I reserve my right to defend my point of view as a crowd member today.

no offence intended, obviously spurs do have great support. Just y'day i think all of us, whether at the game or not, had that feeling in the second half of the inevitable Blackburn winner, so frustrating.

The fans have been singing all season, maybe the fucking team have just finally stopped deserving it?

The crowd sounded quite up for it from what I heard on the TV. OK maybe not up there with the game vs Seville last season, but it certainly wasn't silent.

For a team that's on a very low ebb, with little confidence, and all the crap that's happened in the last few months, the players and fans have an air of being shellshocked about them. Hopefully Ramos will go in and lift them, build a siege mentality and onwards and upwards!

When we beat Blackpool and 'Boro in the next 7 days, the feel good factor of WHL will soon be back.

By February, the Lane will be buzzing again, and I honestly think that we still have a (slim) chance of UEFA next season.


Trying to be positive....
