Are There Similarities to 1986-87?

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

The Christmas Number one in 1986 was Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson. This year it looks as though it could be Cannonball by Little Mix.

'Petite', 'Little' Coincidence? I think not.

So far this season I have yet to see anything so utterly spineless as the 3-0 defeat to Charlton at Selhurst Park on Easter Monday in 1987. We are not as bad as we were then - and we are still 10th too. This season is possibly more like 1985-86 when the decline was already visible.

Just trying to be positive, having been made redundant last week and thinking back to that truly shite season. I hope I never see another like it.

[Dave Clark Five]

John, take a break. You may have seen an awful lot more shite than most of us, but its best to bow out now and allow us youngers a moan. I am not slating you, or your wish to educate wastrels. But what we are seeing is shite and people have a right to moan.

Agreed. I just think the racist abuse is uncalled for. I will let you carry on.

Where is this racist abuse?  Rather than have a go at the mods for something they haven't seen, why don't you try being helpful and drop a PM pointing it out?

I'll have a look in the morning Mr.Wenger.

Please do. I'd hate to think you were getting on your high horse for nothing.

Didn't have to look too far. No blinkers on this high horse. I'm saying no more on the matter.

Could you kindly link to the offending racist posts, we'll consider them and take the appropriate action.

There's no similarity

In 86/87 we scored a total of 5 goals in the home games against Man Utd and Liverpool and didn't lose.

No. I suggest that you wait for the next one.

Billy McNeill is worse than McLiesh by the same sort of margin as the top to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Fuck me, even O'Leary looks like a beacon of light compared to him.

Less of the drama. McLeish is making a mediocre job of it, at best, with a bunch of players who are, with odd exception, mediocre at best, in a league chock full of teams who even on a good day aren't even mediocre.

No. You've accused people of making racist statements, and the mods of turning a blind eye, so either show us where this is supposed to have happened or admit that you're making things up.

I never make things up. I will only give my name, rank and number.

Is Gingerism now racist? Political correctness gone mad.Next thing you'll be telling me is that he doesn't stink of piss

You ask a question, assume the reply and answer it yourself. Wrong on all counts.

Ok cheers, it's a motto that my wife shares with you.By the way isn't being anti Scottish xenephobic rather than racist?

I can see similarities. We shouldn't have gone down with a team that 'on paper' looked stronger than the previous year. (Obviously this year we aren't stronger than last but still look too good on paper to go down). But a squad including Spink, Williams, Dorigo, Evans, Keown, Hunt, Walters, Gray and Thompson never performed as individuals or a team and the three promoted sides (including Norwich) all stayed up when people had Wimbledon and Charlton as certainties to go straight back down. The difference is we lost the first three games and never recovered. We were as good as down by January. And even our recent performances have not hit some of the lows of that season.
No-one who was at Charlton over the Easter will ever forget that day.

[kippaxvilla2]

The biggest concern for me is that whatever else you could say about his playing style the teams he has managed, including Small Heath were known for their fight.  This team is completely devoid of that as far as I can tell, especially against the bigger clubs than us - I can stomach us losing at home to Manure and Liverpool, but, with the way we surrendered just makes it worse.

For their to be a "next one", there has to be one in the first place, which you reckon there is but have singularly failed to point out.  Accusing posters of racism and then not backing it up is pretty scummy behaviour.
