That's what he does best he ignores posts that he knows is true and posts something completely different twisting facts to suite his agenda whatever that is! :old:


What do you mean ignores them? It’s his latest post :lol:

That’s the point “difficult for us to forget” - you can’t forget something that you weren’t there to remember.


No I posted that some posts ago further up the page, but as I say, it was ignored. And still not responded to with any answer.



He knows full well what you posted and where! But prefer to alter course as it is better for him.....Try putting in the question again see what happens? :laughing6:

I just scrolled back up to see what you were getting your knickers in a twist about.

I remember the post, but I don’t see a question there or a need for a response? Or do you want me to respond to each and every post on the thread regardless if there is a question or if it was directed at me?

Feel free to ask the question and no doubt I will answer it :thumbright:

No you didn’t.

You posted 4 paragraphs or so about our success being in the last 10 years and yours being in the 1920’s, yes I know. That’s the point of the discussion.

What was the question you wanted answering? :roll:

Just as no Cardiff City fan is jealous of Swansea City. It's only a rivalry because we are so geographically close, and is usually worse when we are in the same division. Swansea are no threat to us, they are just another team. I don't like them, but i don't like a lot of teams. They have been higher than us for 7 seasons while they were in the Prem, and the season they went up when they got above us on the last day I think. We were higher than them last season, they are currently higher than us. Until they got promoted in to the Championship we'd been higher than them for about 10 years. So it's swings an roundabouts.

They are coming off the greatest part in their club's history, 7 seasons in the top flight and a Cup success. It has never happened before and may never happen again. We've had a good past decade, and it has been enjoyable for us in the most part, but our greatest period was in our clubs infancy in the 1920s. We've both been good and bad over the years. The 1980s were bad for both of us as we both ended up in Division 4 together.

I'm just glad that, at the moment, we are financially secure with Mr Tan. Looks what's happening down there. No money, no investment, club up for sale and stories of the Academy closing and selling their training facilities. Nobody wants top see another club asset stripped of course, the same applies to Bury and Macclesfield.


Can someone pick out a question I have ignored in the above passage?

...nah neither can I.

If I may add , considering that winning the FA cup is still held in high regard then why is it that the supporters of the Club can't be arsed to attend games ? A proud moment in the history of the Club but all you seem to hear are excuses, the latest from the Manager
