I heard a slow clap when West ham were dawdling on a free kick, but that was the only time I heard one.
Exactly, that was the only time I heard one too.

I dont believe for one minute he reads any of this crap. Thank god.
"Maybe the fans just want us to kick it long win 1-0. I've got no problem, I'll go home."
From today's Argus.
We don't want the team to kick it long all game, what we want is to get back to winning some games and to do that we need to mix it up a bit, have a Plan B, and that may well involve kicking it long some of the time. And to do that we need a striker who can head the ball and hold it up.
Playing the same style of football for 90mins every game is not the answer.
It's not NSC, there are plenty of the 'lump it forward' brigade in the stands too, and their voices are more easily heard.
Remember Bournemouth at home last season where the 'cogniscenti' were also bellowing out the same, and Gus reacted identically.
Stop away fans from pisstaking. Stop "Gay" chants. Stop criticism of the manager.
I take it that it's okay to point out that you are making yourselves look silly.

Nothing makes anyone immune to criticism.
But criticising him on the back of this has little value. This isn't a case of being 'found him out' - he just doesn't have the budget to get the players he wants to beat better teams, so he will be patient, build his squad piece by piece and come back stronger. I sincerely hope he does not change his way; I just hope he finds players who can make it work properly.
THEN the know-it-alls can sit in judgement of him.
"I'll go home". Meaning - "I'll walk."
The fans in the stadium get behind the team 100% and there is no booing at the matches, so what is he basing this statement on other than things he has read on here, or, more likely, things that have been fed back to him.
I worked for the club briefly back in the early noughties and trust me, people at the club DO read NSC. Martin Perry talked about it openly in front of me and Paul Camillin. Gary Hart has several hundred posts to his name, as does Guy Butters/Guy Butters wife, as well as the Press Officer Paul Camillin (who also discussed NSC in my presence). You think some of the current players and management don't read it ever?? Wouldn't you be intrigued if you were a pro footballer??
So whether Gus sits on his laptop at night and reads NSC is neither here nor there. Does some of it get fed back to him? Fairly likely.
Don't forget when he got stroppy with the fans in The Argus about the treatment of Navarro in his early days. No one was booing or abusing Navarro at matches, so what else other than NSC could he have been talking about it?
To think that no one at BHAFC reads NSC and that it isn't occasionally discussed around the club is astonishingly naive.
"I'll go home"..... he's pissed off.
