1% of what?

Is that also included things like pointing out about Thorn being awful? While the "majority" were going on about his hands being tied etc etc?

It's no wonder people listen to and talk so much shit really.

No we are shit compared to pre December and the last few games.

We look a bit better than the tripe in between those periods last season.

In truth we relied on Armstrong and Murphy - if they didn't play last season we'd have been relegation fodder.

We are 4 games in, I'll reserve judgement until we're a bit further on I think.

No, someone who watches the players play has more of a valid opinion than someone who has never seen them play. It's not difficult to comprehend.

Where? Link me to it.

Are any shouting at others for not backing them like you did? I doubt that.

Still, as long as we have people like Nigel as spokespeople everybody can be happy?

Where do you get this bullshit from? Charlie Adam has never played for Burnley. Last year they won the league having spent 9 million alone on 1 striker - Andre Gray, and had huge earners like Joey Barton in their team. This was on the back of having come straight back down from the Prem with a 30 million profit for the season, even before the massive parachute payments kicked in.

Their previous promotion they did not win the league - Leicester did. Leicester who smashed the FFP rules to do it. And Burnley managed it largely due to the brilliance of Danny Ings - another 7 figure signing from Bournemouth.

And they will come straight back down again, as their owners are refusing to buy anyone because of the crazy prices. Which, if you were a Burnley fan, you would be screaming about as a lack of ambition and calling them shit owners for 2 relegations in 3 years.

No point.

Most backed them until they forgot about the fans and moved out.

I haven't been to any games this season and probably won't be. I also won't be offering any opinions on how we have played* because I'll be going off what people have said on here and we all talk utter bollocks.

*unless we lose then I'll be saying 'shit', 'bollocks' and/or 'shite'.

And anyone who gives player ratings when they haven't been deserves a slap.

Would you say that about Northampton? Consecutive promotions and relegations from the 4th division to 1st division and back down to the 4th division again

And this is where it becomes a problem for me, the "I hate Wasps but I see why the Council sold to them". argument. I don't. I genuinely don't see why they did it.

SISU aren't going to be here forever. One day they will leave and the Council should have waited for that day. The most important things in this sorry saga are the football club - you know the team that have been here for 133 years - and the Ricoh, the stadium that was built FOR the club.

The Ricoh was apparently a success and was doing fine. The Club were moving back from Sixfields and the Council said we had to build bridges before ownership of the stadium was discussed. Despite saying this publicly they'd already agreed a deal with the Franchise, but hey I digress. Now, they didn't want to sell to SISU, fair enough, that's up to them, so agree a long term deal with a rent that sustains the football club and the stadium. Once, SISU fuck off then start talks with the new owners.

But no, they give Wasps a whopping 250 year lease - that is effectively forever, hamstringing the club and the shafting the fans in one swift movement. Not the fans fault who owns the club and not the clubs fault either, but out of petty spite, 130 years of history was flushed down the toilet.

And because of those ridiculous decisions the club is still owned by SISU with ZERO prospect of being taken over by another owner. What is there to sell? What assets are there to attract a potential investor who knows that Wasps effectively own everything until 2264. There are loads of clubs more attractive already.

What did genuinely make me laugh was all the hysterical cries of "don't sell to SISU they just mortgage the stadium" and what did Wasps do within months? Brilliant.

Anyway, hopefully we'll leave the Ricoh one day to Wasps and we can have our own purpose built stadium somewhere in the city. Fantasy? Maybe, but better than a slow death at the Ricoh.

The best post on this sorry saga bar none.

Refreshing to know that we have actually got some intelligent fans that can cut through the bullshit.

Just for the record, I do go to some games (I reckon 2-5 a season) but I don't think I'd comment on individual performances on games. I do think though that there's enough on social media/national sites though to garner an opinion on whether we're collectively shit or not.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion to be fair. Just some are more valid than others...but everyone's entitled.

Ha you do realise it's two different things don't you?

If somebody says anything that didn't go along with shouting sisu out they must be happy with it, which is what people say when they can't think of anything else.

Nigel I assume is in with you in your made up percentages? All people want to hear is sisu out shouting, rather than looking at situations logically, or gathering facts.

I say link me to it, mainly because they can't... Again, it's dealing in facts rather than aimless shouting.

People went on about the majority argument when thorn was here, the majority of fans wanted him. The majority doesn't mean much.

I'm far from an intellect, but i wouldn't make statements if I didn't know something.

If I did and was wrong, and people pointed out why I was wrong with facts then I'd say sorry and be corrected. Rather than just say "sisu lover" and carry on saying the same thing.
