The Fish

What time is love? I wanna see you sweat.

Attendance does not equal love. Conditional or otherwise.

Well into Eurovision, is forever posting Europop videos from (what looks like) the 80s (the most gay-friendly decade in music), can cook, takes really good care of his body, has a barbed tongue, is often the first to post that picture of Keane and van Nistelrooy...what more clues did you need?

Someone who stops going to the match on principle will likely still be checking scores, watching streams, reading stories and so on. Attendance does not necessarily equate with love of the club, or with being a fan, in fact it's an "all thumbs are fingers" kind of deal. Trooper loves the club unconditionally, he attends conditionally.

Answer the questions.

What are you talking about you moron? I'm getting told what? What isn't all what way? How am I having anything my own way? If I were having it my own way, you'd be shot into space by a nuclear powered launch contraption so that your dying exclamation would be "Ohhhh nooooo! The Fish was riiiiiiiiiiight!", while you pass an astronaut flipping you off as he fixes the ISS and you drift off into the abyss of interstellar space.

Personally, I'd say being an "unconditional fan" is contrary to being a "true fan". It suggests an apathy I don't associate with being a fan. "The owner renames the stadium "FUCKYOUGEORDIES ARENA, sells the best players for buttons, sacks the likeable manager and calls all attending fans muggy cunts? Don't care, I love my club unconditionally."

Say the man who dismisses evidence because it doesn't scan with his worldview I'm not anonymous, I've met people from this board and my name isn't a closely guarded secret.

He's saying if you stay away in protest, you're a plastic fan. Only those who attend regardless of circumstance are "true fans". And as the arbiter of what does and doesn't count as real, he should know.

A goal every 160 minutes for Man City (1 in 143 in the league). 25 of his 44 appearances were as a substitute.

People ask for my opinion, people challenge and question my opinion, people listen to a podcast to hear my opinion, people engage with me on twitter to discuss my opinion. You proffer your contrarian opinion unbidden, you dismiss others without due respect. You cower behind anonymity and would better benefit society if you were howling your bile into a bucket of your own shit.

You are a contrarian, you are cowardly and you patently are a cunt. That doesn't frustrate me, it barely interests me, but I'm at a loose end at the minute so I don't mind telling you that your opinions are worthless, and you're arrogance is pathetic. No sir, you arrogance came first and eclipses even mine. You're trying to be the arbiter of what counts as a true fan and what counts as a plastic. Who the fuck are you? Some anonymous internet troll. You don't get to declare who is or isn't a "true fan".

Just because that's your definition of what makes a fan plastic or not, doesn't make it reality. Just like you declaring evidence as illegitimate doesn't make it so. Good to know your arrogance knows no bounds though. Makes dismissing your contrarian bullshit so much easier.

I'd have him, but then I'd have Shola back as it stands.

You're nothing but a contrarian cowardly cunt. Now that people have stopped humouring your Ice Dome bullshit, your highly offensive stance on disasters and your ludicrous claims about science, you've decided to try and rankle us on the football side of things.

I understand fully. You're declaring if someone stays away in protest, they're now a plastic fan.

Who the fuck are you to make that statement?

"Not attending and being a fan aren't mutually exclusive. " "I never said they were." Stick that up yer Ice Dome and smoke it, you Big Billy Bullshitter. You don't have to attend to be a fan, and staying away as a protest doesn't revoke your standing as a fan either.

You're on thin ice already sunshine. Keep graphic novels out of this.

Not attending and being a fan aren't mutually exclusive. There will be Newcastle fan who don't have a problem with Ashley, but live away from the region and so cannot attend although they'd like to. And there will be fans who love the club passionately, who used to go home and away for decades, but cannot stomach the way Ashley runs the club and so don't go. Then there will be a bloke who got into football because Tony Blair headed a ball at Keegan, he goes every other week because it gets him out the house, he turns up totally unaware of who Newcastle are playing and where they are in the league. But Wolfy has declared the latter is the true fan

Should leave it to Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci.

Watched it last night after all. I think my gut reaction to it was "Holy fuck! " Got a message off a mate about episode 5, complaining it was bland. I don't think he'll be moaning about this one.
