Take a bow son, absolutely magnificent today along with many others. Fernández has got a massive job on his hands which is great news for us supporters. |

Thread | What have we become?
at 23:27 9 Dec 2013
Putting aside all of the dividend issues that have been well documented on here, and the clear shambles we are when it comes to commercial nous and ticketing, I think that as a set of supporters we need to start looking a little closer to home.
I'm sure that these issues may already be being discussed in other threads but what the f**k is happening to the attitude displayed by our 'fans'.
This whole Danny Graham situation tonight has got me thinking. Let me fill you in on the details first, if you weren't at the game....
Danny Graham scores, queue a good portion of the ground applauding him because he refused to celebrate. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't we vilifying that mob up east for doing the exact same thing with one of their former players just last week? "You've gone soft" we said, well by f**k at least he was one of their own, DG is simply someone who took a (very healthy) wage out of our club and spunked it on a various amount of addiction (allegedly) while at the same time being largely ineffective doing the job for which he was being paid the said handsome wage. Hardly the messiah.
The rest of the half was spent with the same supporters largely moaning at the efforts (albeit not much to speak about) of the current incumbents of their clubs shirt. What happened next however was the worst of the lot.....the team were booed off at half-time......I'll give you a second to digest that.......yes, that's correct, at half-f**king-time!! Who are these people doing the booing? they're clearly not 'supporters' of the club I love, nobody in their right mind would do that surely? I can only assume they're the ones who nip off after 80 minutes to miss the traffic.
Anyway, the second half got under way, performances improved and were greeted by an equal improvement in the atmosphere off the pitch. However, some people just can't leave certain players alone. Pablo, who didn't have a great game by the way, was still being jumped on for making the same mistakes as all of his teammates. Meanwhile, Tiendalli looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights every time he got the ball, in part (imo) due to the constant verbals being volleyed at him by his own crowd!
Next up, the player who scored the goal that cost us 2 points, gets a poxy standing ovation when substituted. I've seen it all now. This substitution, by the way, was sandwiched between two Swansea substitutions (De Guz & Pablo) which barely managed a smattering of applause. They are playing for us right? There's actually a group of people who sit in front of me who seem unable to bring themselves to applaud Pablo whenever he's subbed. Sad.
Anyway, to bring the story to a close. The DG love-in continued after the game. I'd lost the will to live at this point, not because of the effort of the players, but by the number of complete f**ktards that I seem to be surrounded by, in increasing numbers, each game.
What happened to the Liberty being an intimidating place to come to? I'll tell you what....2 and a bit years in the Premier League. We've become those fans of Villa, Fulham, Sunderland, etc. that we used to enjoy taking the p!ss out of because they couldn't generate an atmosphere while we sang, shouted and encouraged our side through every home game.
I was embarrassed to be surrounded by some of the people I witnessed tonight, not all of you but more than I feel comfortable with. |

I keep hearing that Mark Hughes is trying to change the way they play, etc. Can someone tell me exactly what he's changed?
The perfect example was their 1st two kick-offs, I'd be embarrassed to see an U9s team do that! |
