[Football] About time we had one of these - a lovely smug schadenfreude thread

[Gazwag]

You list all the clubs I also dislike. Perhaps with the exception of Leeds. Lovely stuff to remember these idiots and their attitudes in the past

As much as I dislike Leeds I have to admire the results they are pulling out at the moment with the youngsters they are playing with, I think they have about 9 academy players in the squad at the moment

Plus their second choice keeper is an Albion fan (former STH at Withdean) and the nephew of a NSC mod.

I’ve always quite liked Leeds and I like the way that they’re keeping squads which have cost a fortune such as Villa off the top.

I enjoy watching the Roofe, Hernandez and Alioski. Pontus Jansson is a really good CB and leader, of PL quality.

Reading:
...it seems Baldock is out long term and they are debating whether this is their worst team in decades. Haha chortle etc

.

I wonder how many pages Reading's Injury & Suspension Watch : 2018/2019 thread was, last season, without Baldock.

He's not by the way.
And played yesterday as a sub. He's started 19 times for Reading this season.

Wont do them anygood IF they come up.......and I hope they dont.......another team who thinks they 'belong'

 

[Jaxie]

On a personal level I always enjoy fixtures against Leeds. Home or away. So for that reason I hope they come up.

I can't stand Reading as a club, or their supporters. Probably dislike them more than Palace, never met an "alright" Reading supporter!

Burnley, got no problem with. Although I hated Joey Bartons tactics in the last home game against them in the championship.

As for the rest, always nice to see Stoke and Southampton struggling. And if I were an Arsenal or Chelsea fan I'd have given up watching at their grounds long ago.

 

[Geestar]

Ipswich fans - a hateful little bunch of spud pickers.

After a long and personal campaign against Mick McCarthy, who operated under a shoestring with their best players always sold, they sit adrift heading for League One.

Karma.

I hated Joey Barton but Burnley are ok for me.

His first fake dive will see him falling to bits, if he goes to China!!

Comedy Gold!!

The article is suggesting that they're offering him £44m over a four year contract, not us. Would be massively surprised if he went there and quite disappointed in honesty. If and when he does leave us it should be for a Champions League club.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Biscuitmen. Tin pot.

Boro. Junior shin pads.

Saints. Time should be up. Plus guard of honour.

Chelsea. Except Hazard. No further questions.

Leicester. Admin. Generally unpleasant.

Bournemouth. FFP. Gus's scarf 1972.

Chesterfield. Cheats.

Agree with all that, plus I can’t stand WBA and their Stoke-like fans. The JR racism business only served to confirm my view.

 

[Phoenix011]

I know I included them in my original post, but I can't see what people dislike about Burnley really. Personally I am indifferent to the ginger dalek, Middlesbrough fans seem to hate him more than us after that season - so he must be doing something right. Also, their fans at Reading did a tremendous job of taking the piss out of their 7th placed celebrations, and I have found their fans to be knowledgeable and reasonably modest about their position in football's hierarchy.

Burnley have been very racist and homophobic whenever we come to town

Amateurs! Any decent club doesn't put U23s into the first team until they're at least twenty four (unless they've been bought in from abroad)................ at which time they'll have probably been loaned out twice and let go to a League Two club ..... or to Bognor, Haywards Heath or Eastbourne ............

Against Blackburn on Boxing Day Leeds had one player who had come through their academy in their first 11 - Kalvin Phillips.

That may be the case, but they have also played an Albion fan (and a relative of an NSC stalwart) this season, so as much as I despise Leeds with the best of them, I'm struggling to wish them ill.

That’s an anomaly for them this season, tbh.

Even that team featured Phillips starting, and local kids Jamie Shackleton (18) and Jack Clarke (18) coming on as subs. The unused subs were Leif Davis, Aapo Halme, Robbie Gotts - all teenagers signed for their academy, plus keeper Will Huffer, who has been at the club from the age of 8.

It is incredibly impressive however you look at it, to be performing as they are with so many young kids regularly contributing.

Look out for Jack Clarke in particular- going to be a great player.

Weird isn't it, when one considers a few of the 'rivalries' that have briefly flared up?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This. As a club, and with Dyche, they're ok, but their fans are totally prejudiced and backwards
