They're just not noticed. Other than STID where they were an absolute laughing stock, but they lack the self awareness to see this.  Are we liked or hated? Genuinely don't know and don't care. We're definitely noticed though. Edited Sunday at 17:13 by Renton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's this famous Man City match he's talking about? I'm guessing it was at least a decade ago. I don't remember it. Maybe if I did, I'd love the MLF's too?   The most pathetic part of that entire thing is "Other fans love us because..." The complete obsession with the need for external validation is beyond cringeworthy. I've not seen any 'group' do this in quite the way mackems do, both within football and outside of it. Or maybe it's just RTG, but either way it's extreme "pick me" energy, as the Zoomers would say. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago when I was a filthy student I was studying Human Geography, and one module was about social deprivation. We read papers on the Brazilian favelas, South African and Jamaican shanty towns, but one particular paper u remember was on the effects of social deprivation on adolescent mental health and development. I remember it because it was done in sunderland, the authors choosing there because of the short age gap between generations giving them multiple generations of adolescents to study  Anyway, I found the paper online, the funniest parts are in the conclusions, specifically on page 450 and 477, which directly answer your questions as to why they do this en masse  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32540024/ 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nay, nay I say, this transcends theory and we can now consider it to be a law. The law of the fans of massive lads.  6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4365 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Just taking a break and watched a Keith Downie report on SSN on them and he was really positive about them. RTG will explode with the mental gymnastics.  Aparrently their main man is some cunt on loan front Bournemouth (Mepham) - hopefully they recall him in January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
