We is where we is. Our only option is to see the season out. Bruce will either succeed or fail. There’s no point in debating any other option now.

Reet, close the messageboard until May then.

if we won the next game 7:0 you'd be moaning that if it wasn't for Bruce it would have been 8.  Just when I think it can't get more bizarre you post something like that.

What an incredible  statement and comparing 1982 win to current style of football I would say that word bizarre is totally you.

Yeah but we didn't won the European Cup playing total football so it wasn't won the correct way for some.

Personally I don't care how we gain promotion whether it be total football or boring 1:0 every game

It bloody was total football. And as for your earlier comment about a 'shinned finish' you can go bollocks; I'll have you know that was the most sublime finish I've ever seen. Couldn't name a better goal than that one.

I'm not complaining I think it's a great goal so I'm with you on that any goal that wins us a trophy is an awesome goal even if it comes off someones arse. It just seems that are some people here that will find something to moan about regardless of how well we are doing

But, playing devil's advocate here, couldn't it be said that you are doing exactly the same in that, despite us doing quite well at the moment, you too have found yourself something "to moan about" - ie other people not being as enthusiastic as yourself?

Personally, I think we should all stop moaning about the football being shit / Bruce not being the man to cement our premier league position when we return there / us not being top of the league and ten points clear / other people not being happy enough, and focus on this season being considerably less shit than the previous seven, but I understand why others might not agree.
 
EDIT: Oh no, now I'm moaning too.

Indeed.  90% of Stuart's posts seem to be moaning about other fans.

Me either. A goal of pure unadulterated beauty.

Shaw to Morley to Withe was the greatest goal ever scored. Ever.

I wouldn’t want to eat a sack of salt with you though.
