“You’ll get smashed up there”Its lucky because we have the best manager.
Its lucky because we have the best owner
Its lucky because we have a sell out stadium
Its lucky because we have the best squad
Its lucky because we've scored more goals
Its lucky because we are top of the league.
So yea, lucky cunts arnt we
They dont like us because we turn up at their gaff, mob handed, out sing them, then fuck off home with the points!Yeah they do dislike us, as do Sheffield United and Leicester.
Worth pointing out I’m not on Twitter so generally won’t see anything the smooth brains on there say.
Also both Sheffield United and Sunderland seem to be disliked by a disproportionately large number of other fanbases.
I don’t dislike Sunderland - have some Mackem friends, they’re always very funny in regards to football though!
Why?Let’s face it we would probably want him to fail elsewhere .
To be fair it's human nature, when leaving Wembley after our Semi final loss I was gobbing off about how Man United would get battered in the FA cup final near as many United fans as I could.“You’ll get smashed up there”
Let’s not bother trying then ey!
Colchester scoring more goals than some playoff sides and finishing rock bottom is wild. Kamikaze football.Btw just seen this on twitter .. did fans then call it the weakest championhip ever ?? View attachment 49553
Im sure they think promotion is pointless until they get into the playoffs, then its the only thing thst matters.It’s not the hatred that bothers me, it’s the ones who act like getting promoted is meaningless as “you’ll get hammered every week next season/come right back down anyway” as If there is no merit to winning the championship outright on its own, not to mention that the parachute money, tv sponsorship money, global exposure would be trajectory changing for the club. Plus the chance for us to see the best players in the world at our ground and also attract a higher calibre of players ourselves again.
Survival in the premier league isn’t a short term goal for me (let’s be honest, with the budgets and structures we’d be competing with, first season relegation is highly probable)
But becoming one of the few who has the ridiculous advantage of parachute payments would be massive for future championship seasons.
Just hope Frank stays and when given money doesn’t end up sinking clubs like uncle harry did lolIt’s not the hatred that bothers me, it’s the ones who act like getting promoted is meaningless as “you’ll get hammered every week next season/come right back down anyway” as If there is no merit to winning the championship outright on its own, not to mention that the parachute money, tv sponsorship money, global exposure would be trajectory changing for the club.

Shocked at some of the stuff I’ve read but balance it with other forums like Milwall who rate us highlyAnyone else who reads a lot of other club forums cant have helped notice a new hatred from some towards us. There seems to be a number of fan bases who seem to have green eyed envy and a particular hatred towards lampard.
constant comments like
its the poorest championship in years.
cant wait for us to get battered in the Prem and Lampard to get the sack
Cov are shit and no where as good as boro or Ipswich
we are only top because weve spent millions on players
Lampard is a shit manager
fat Frank
Cov are just lucky this season
there is loads more but there are certain clubs who clearly have a jealous hatred towards us namely Stoke, Shef Utd, Ipswich not to mention Leicester that was never there before except Leicester who seem obsessed with us. This seems to happened since Lampard came so is this about a hatred of Lampard and that he is doing well or is just jealousy that we as a team are top of the league. I also think that this has been reflected on the pitch with clubs out to prove a point against us because we are top its like we have a target on our backs
I think Frank has put up with crap all throughout his career. He got shite early on as he was seen as a bit of a nepobaby. Thing is he had the skill to prove his actual worth.
The fat stuff was just weird.
Niche side note TFTM pod use Lamparding (being a bit of a Lampard) as an adjective for anyone who is a acting a bit of a nimby or grass. Stems from him loosing his rag when Bielsa sent spies to Derbys training ground prior to their playoff game against Leeds. It's harsh but that pod is pretty funny.
We should be likeable really. Been through the wringer last 10 or so years, down to league2, champ PO final on a budget, then hugely successful English former player takes us to the next level with a bit more investment. We’re still on a budget relative to our peers.Kind of the opposite for me, I think we are relatively well liked (or at least seem so to me online and in person) and seen lots of fans of most other clubs wishing us well.
Only the odd few Champ clubs that seem to dislike us on the whole.

Ahh yes - we're one of the luckiest sides in the world. While Stoke were playing in the prem with Bojan and Arnautovic up front, we played home games in Birmingham, Northampton and Burton. Got relegated twice, had point deductions, went into administration and had to watch Darius Henderson play up front.Couple of pearlers from the Stoke Forum today.
can someone please tell me how we shit housed yesterday when it was Stoke doing all the timewasting and dark arts to try and get an undeserved point.

I never get late winners being 'lucky'
Surely every minute of a game is valid as any other?
It's nonsense spouted by idiots.

We’ve gone from “Your ground is too big for you” to “Where were you when you were shit” in a few seasons. Quite incredible, really!
Bell ends in every fanbaseIf you look on the championship banter page on Facebook, a number of our fans have been absolutely pathetic and a complete embarrassment…absolute bell ends!! Complete arrogance since October, goading about ‘is anybody going to give us a game’…no humility
It’s the kettle calling the pot black because they were a shit team like we were until Pulis got them up and kept them there for a few seasons. The year they beat us 2-1 the year they went up, an old PE teacher of mine said ‘one day, it’ll be you lot’ and that was nearly 20 years ago. I’ll be honest, I never believed it.Yeah you got to laugh at that with the shit owners that we've had in the past, would it be any different at any other club, of course not.
The Stoke fans sang that yesterday "where were you when you were shit"
We can all see their empty seats in their stadium and that's with rich owners.
Its lucky because we have the best manager.
Its lucky because we have the best owner
Its lucky because we have a sell out stadium
Its lucky because we have the best squad
Its lucky because we've scored more goals
Its lucky because we are top of the league.
So yea, lucky cunts arnt we
They never think of how we get so much additional time added on and we score a late winner! It's called KarmaI never get late winners being 'lucky'

In fairness many of us said the same about Sunderland last year. They were not exactly the strongest team ever promoted, but they have made a decent fist of it so far this season….Im sure they think promotion is pointless until they get into the playoffs, then its the only thing thst matters.
I can remember everone saying Bournmouth would get battered every week and relegated after 1 season. The same was said about Forrest and Brentford and Fulham and Palace.
I am probably the exact opposite of that, I tend to, if anything, talk down our team and talk about the opposition. For example, this weekend when asked about our chances by someone, I said we're at home and in-form so think we should win, but also mentioned Stoke City having the best defence in the league and it will be a tough game regardless.If you look on the championship banter page on Facebook, a number of our fans have been absolutely pathetic and a complete embarrassment…absolute bell ends!! Complete arrogance since October, goading about ‘is anybody going to give us a game’…no humility
We love to hate a talented player in this country, particularly if they have a personality of their own. Look at the shit Jude Bellingham gets.They hate us coz they ain't us.
In all seriousness, we got a lot of love/sympathy as the plucky underdogs & the shit we've been through, but once you're at the top, you're there to be shot at & that's where the envy kicks in.
It's a lot easier to stomach when it's a parachute team steamrolling the league, simply by outspending everyone else. But when it's someone like us, from where we've been, homeless, poor crowds etc. to now dominating, other clubs will understandably ask "If they can do it, why can't we?"
Then of course, Lampard;
Footy fans are incredibly tribal, they'll remember him playing/scoring against them etc. but more than that, it's a societal issue imo. So many revel in a successful person failing. You see it so many times, the elite players getting booed everywhere they play, simply for being elite.
There's a few in particular that are terrible and clearly have no lives outside of social mediaIf you look on the championship banter page on Facebook, a number of our fans have been absolutely pathetic and a complete embarrassment…absolute bell ends!! Complete arrogance since October, goading about ‘is anybody going to give us a game’…no humility
I would counter that they are generally more liked by neutral fans and the media more than most clubsYeah they do dislike us, as do Sheffield United and Leicester.
