Dying on it's a r s e

There's not a lot you can say regards Soulman's post.
It says very little and has no link to the goal.

Sorry Chris i've just posted the link. Thought i'd put the link up my dog was going mad to go out.

I wondered over to the Southampton site on footymad the other night and they have the exact same feelings towards their own forum on a recent thread. Past posters have effectively given up.

A real shame. I could not believe my luck when I stumbled upon MAD. I just hope it doesn't go t!ts up.

Not a problem mate. Just pointing out to Mick why there had been no answers.

I don't think it's this board that's the problem. It's football in general. Supporters of clubs like ours don't really have a great deal to get excited about anymore.

We'll never win the league and qualifying for Europe seems pointless when you consider what happens to clubs who do like Everton for example.

Under Pulis our games are sterile so there's not even much in the way of entertainment.

To be fair most people I know say so much football nowadays is poor.
Most fans I know are either Man U, Liverpool or Newcastle and none of them are happy with their lot! I suspect the only fans happy at the moment are those of Man C.
It isn’t just us.

Thats the point. I went to an Arsenal site the other day and they were slating Wenger for playing players out of position. Sound familiar?

Boingy I know where you are coming from but it's fine to say we are building but to do what. Putin has his 'style' that has to be the worst in the Premiership. I'm all for being positive but there is nothing to be positive about. Two wins in gawd know's how many together with such negative football clearly going for a point in almost every game....it's drivel and no mistake. I amongst many others accept we won't win every game but delivering such negative carp every game only drives me to stay at home doing something positive! I've fallen out of love with football these days.....such turgid, negative, 'afraid to loose' mentality is not something I wish to follow. Very sad!

To be honest lads, most of these popular and busy FM boards are losing fans now and I dont think its all down to the home team doing badly etc.
FM have scored a few 'own goals' over the years with how they have constantly changed the boards and the introduction of all these ads is just appalling. And while I think most teams do also have their own boards away from FM, I still think the best thing about this network is the easy way to chat with 'away' boards and fans as well.

I understand perfectly how you feel Pugmitch. I do. I still feel we are missing a proven goalscorer. None of the ones we have bought now for years have hit the ground running. January has to be about forwards in my opinion but then I felt that way in the summer transfer too. I think managers have to put up with players playing well enough in training to be picked for the weekend only to not perform in the matches that matter. I tend to look at the whole picture in the prem and take note that a lot of teams are disappointing their fans this season. Everton, Stoke, West ham, Leicester for example are underperforming. Changing our manager at this point would be suicide in my opinion, it would take at least ten games to get used to the changes by which time we would be screwed. We know we can perform well, we just arent doing it consistently enough. Thats the problem a lot of teams are facing this season.
