Why do we even care ?
|
|
If we cannot even try to fully commit to winning against a dead Stoke team at a home game or a second string Arsenal team with one eye on the European cup then isn't it all a bit meh ?.
I am sorry but I have to blame our fans for going to games when deep down they are infuriated with the way the club is run and how the team play.
If Moyes is still managing this club next season and the Chairmen only spend 30-50 million (Peanuts) on average players then you have no one else to blame but yourselves, stop going to home games for a bit, what have you got to lose?, wake up if you accept mediocracy that is exactly what you will be served.
Had we been at Upton park still then I would not say any of this but we were sold a dream that has become a nightmare, if your not happy, STOP GOING TO HOME GAMES !!!.

"What came first, the team or the fans?" is not the same as "What came first, the chicken or the egg?".
The team has to give the fans something to follow FIRST. Without that the fans will drift off, (or follow another club if undecided).
Only the 3 Goon(ers) in charge of our club could have turned the big clusterfuck that was the Olympic Stadium into an even bigger clusterfuck called the London Stadium.
Get the team to perform and people will be LESS concerned about the environment surrounding the match - which is probably a lot cheaper than any structural changes that move the arena towards one more suited for football.
Not that our Billy No-Spends would want to fork out for either.

Cornish seems to have been duped by this myth that part of our problem this season has been that off-field unrest amongst fans is affecting the team's performance. Utter tosh and only peddled by the board to cynically try to deflect some of the blame for our predicament onto the fans.
We are just not very good, due to under-investment in our squad and employing a cheap option as manager. If we go down, that will be 100% why it happens, not because the fans aren't supporting the team properly.

Cornish, I'd prefer to stay in the premier league, but why do you say we "need" to stay in the premier league?
Wants and needs are different things.
If the owners are not going to honour the promises the made to us, to convince us to back the stadium move, then I want them to suffer financially. If they are not going to deliver on the promises, I absolutely hate the idea of them earning a single penny from West Ham, so in that case, I feel we will need to stay away and not pay any more money to them.

dicksie isn't saying the same as you though cornish.
You directly linked any form of expression of unhappiness with relegation but cannot explain why the CONSTANT support the team has had hasn't prevented the unambitious and poor performances culminating in many 3 goal plus defeats.

Supporters are meant to go to games to support their team; irrespective of what they think of their own lying cheapskate idiot dickhead wanker owners or overpaid prideless gutless cunt players.
Stupid thread, I'm afraid.

So we're back to me asking you what happened all the other times this season the fans have been behind the team and it's set up to camp on the edge of the penalty area and copped for 3 or 4 goals then cornish.

Didn't go to Stoke and not going to Man City, Probably won't go to Man Utd either.

I'm talking about your ridiculous notion that people cheering the team gurantees safety.
You seem to have bought the line from the baord hook line and sinker that any fans not happy with things and making that known will be contributing to our demise.
Fans have been cheering the team all season and we've been largely shit, a point seemingly lost on you.

Johnson what the hell are you talking about,WE need to be in the premier league and if cheering on your club to safety helps so be it until we are safe!

Some of these sad sacks just don't get it do they J man? Happy to throw away thousands of pounds for another season, when all the evidence is there that GS and B are blatanly taking the piss and will continue to do so. At least Terry Brown tried to cover up his true intentions somewhat. If Bill G doesn't go any more surely that tells you something.

Right, what about all the times the fans have done that and the team have set up to camp on the edge of the penalty area and end up copping for at least 3 goals then cornish?

Ok, I’ll play cornish.
Why would people not renewing their ST or showing up cause relegation?
