She probably only went to the spurs match, hasn't seen how dodgy Ankergren has been at times and how great brezovan has been since December

A rather childish prank from a grown up. Trying to get your point across by pretending to be a child....

Children do not in general think people are "rubbish" unless they have a DAFT parent in their ear week in week out spouting disrespectful garbage. Which is why the letter was either dictated by an adult but written by a child, or simply written by the adult pretending to be a child.

I hate some of our fans with a passion - they think they know it all, have big heads but peas sized brains.

I'd like to round them all up, stick em on a pitch and watch them play against Southampton or Palace - should make a laugh when then get tonked 50 - nil. They think that its their money and they should be able to dictate who comes and who goes whilst sitting on their precious arses at home in the warm.....

Grow up, support the team and the management and your life will be much happier!

Completely agree, although I think there are moronic supporters at every club! Just have to deal with them...

I think it's a kid, who's had some spelling help from their parent. You're jumping to a huge amount of conclusions in your post there.

Wow, that's astonishingly cynical! And I consider myself to be pretty cold-hearted and cynical too. Some children are very precocious, I know I was, and one result was that I could read and write very well at that age (where'd it all go wrong, eh?!) . And to me, it definitely has the tone of a stroppy kid- I could almost see the frown and bottom lip stuck out in protest as I was reading it. I agree it's likely she's absorbed this opinion from a nearby adult, but I don't think anyone's dictated the letter to her.

I think its exceptionally rude to call someone rubbish, and for our fans to think its ok to teach our children that as well is really rather poor (assuming you are correct and the child has written it). There are many posters here on NSC who find it quite acceptable to vilify and ridicule our players and to hear it coming from a 9 year old is very very sad indeed. Not sure why thats cynical, if it is then so be it. It is infuriating that some of our fans (and now their children) find it acceptable to be so downright rude and thnk they know better than Gus.

At the withdean I went in the family stand for the last 10 games or so, and would often hear "rubbish" "silly brain" "the refs got a poo for a head, a big poo!" etc from the Junior Firm in the FS. It would often end in tears. Genuinely.
