Especially in the 2000s when they weren't even that good anymore. They won league title after league title with 97th minute penalties and free kicks. Me and my dad were watching a game once and the commentators said something about how long whoever it was could hold the lead against them, and my dad goes "well it depends what time sir alex has booked his penalty for " One of those funny because its true moments.

That game was match fixing 100%. Tevez dived for a penalty and I think he was offside and there was a handball in there some where. The second goal didn't even cross the line. Then Bentley was sent off after being fouled by Lucas Neill. One of these happening would be a case of bad officiating but all three happening in the same game, no way. That was fixed. When you take into account that Tevez was ineligible to play in any of those games it makes it even more sickening what happened at the end of the season. I've not had a season ticket since that season. I haven't been to a match since the Venkys takeover. That was the final nail.

We didn't have a shot that's why. Spent the whole night screaming SHOOOOOOT!!! at the telly.

For once the club will not fail to meet your expectations.

It's good that the club are keeping up with these community initiatives and that it isn't just a one time token gesture. However, we shouldn't be doing thing that will be a detriment to the pitch. We are a football club at the end of the day.

Looks like he's trying to fag a lift off someone.

But he doesn't meet the target though. If we take @goozburgerlatest estimate and very generously round it up to 8200 and then we take the reported target of 4 million, that means the average ticket price would have to be £487.80 When you take into consideration that there is going to be a decent amount of tickets sold at concession prices that makes 8200 even more of a failure. It's perfectly reasonable to say we have the potential to sell at least 12000, especially if Nob End can manage it. This would bring the average price down to £333.33. I doubt you'd meet the target but rudimentary economics should come into play and tell you that you're now far more likely to make more money down the line. 4 million from season ticket sales is a totally ludicrous figure and shows how dense the people who run the show actually are. But if Swag had any bollocks he'd tell them that. However, he's a lazy fucker who just wants to steal an easy living. Waggot out. Venkys out. 51% Now.

The main problem with Roberts was the 4-5-1 formation that big Sam insisted on using all the time.

Have you heard about Peter Reid? He's got a monkey's heed

So are we to expect Chaddy to be a card carrying member of the Swag lads soon?

Work for people that give a toss about their business.

Referees?

That's just what I remember from my young days on the Blackburn End. To be fair most of the players that year were shite. No wonder the first thing Souness did was clear most of them off.

I remember it well. Right along with "Tony Parkes blue and white army (Fuck off Brian Kidd!)" It was a very tough season that one. For some reason it felt like every single game was played in the depths of winter. Maybe it wa just the atmosphere.

Wow @longsiders1882is getting a bit of a thrashing over here. No need to get so wound up about Dyche now @TheHistoryTeacher, he's long gone.

Got that one as well. Prefer the first one but Build is an absolute belter, probablytheir best tune I reckon.

"You're fat, You're round, you bounce along the ground, Ashley Ward Ashley Ward" I'll never forget that. That was gold.

I certainly miss it now. Would be great to have it to listen to midweek games whilst I'm at work.

Who's stopping you from trying to be hard?

Just another two fingers in the face of the supporters.

When you say scum are you referring to the people that have exploited the loyal supporters of their club by charging them a ludicrous price for tickets, almost double that of some of our nearest neighbours, during a world wide cost of living crisis? Because yes, scum is the right word for them.

Great to see this from the club.

Got this the other day. Belter.
