Alex 34279 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 He's got another year left on his contract too. Think it's nice to see a player do that rather than just milking money and going through the motions. And absolutely agree about him. Genuine world class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5131 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 This is a bit surprising, but then I was also a bit stunned when half the German team retired after winning the World Cup. Hard to argue he isn't one of the greats though, at least for Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 "Here we go again" A fucking news paper getting defensive over a fanzine's pop. What a fucking huckle.

They should stick to totally not embarrassing articles about what a snoike Delph is. 'Yow snoike, Delph!' 'Rafa is just a fat Spanish wyetor.' 'Who's your next Messoihah? Ant and dec?' 'Sob on the Tyne.' Can't understand how fans with such cutting edge humour have to have their local Knight Ryder stick up for them after the bad boys pick on them?

Howay 12496 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Aye, most insulting things I've ever heard. Especially the Ant and Dec one, not only attacking our well known obsession with messiahs but also having a pop at McPartlin and Donnelly in the process. That city is just one big balloon knot, can't even pick them out as individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34279 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Apart from them taking the piss when we went down at Villa Park there's not much bad blood to speak of. They're too fucking boring for that to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10543 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Apart from them taking the piss when we went down at Villa Park there's not much bad blood to speak of. They're too fucking boring for that to be the case. Honestly think that's a large reason behind these articles. They're trying to be relevant and picking a fight with the "biggest" club in the league is a good way of doing that. It's a manufactured enmity for most. Same's happened with Forest and Leeds to be honest. I fucking hate them mind, always have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just the Lansbury bollocks earlier this season? Hope someone corrects me if I get this wrong, but essentially when the miners were striking it was the Nottinghamshire pits that broke ranks and weakened the position of the unions. There was also a pitch incursion by us which forced a replay that we won (can't remember but I think we were losing at the time, or were missing a couple key players?)

The Fish 10543 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Aye, but most of the kids these days have no idea about that stuff. So Twitter, journalists and fanzines try to fabricate a rivalry to get RTs, clicks and attention. No real problem with that to be honest, football is always more interesting if there's confrontation. It's just when it's handled so clumsily, like Villa's desperate grab for our attention. They've a local rival in this league, one who next season they should really be in a position to embarrass, why not stoke the fires of the Wolves rivalry?
