For me the test of a good Football team is what is their identity. How do they play. What defines the team. They don't have to be that good, there are teams like Swansea, WBA, Middlesborough, Burnley, Bournemouth amongst others all had a very clear identity in how they played, some were at the beginnings of it like Hull, others namely Middlesborough were perhaps just on the wrong path and whilst Swansea have always played with the ball on the floor it took a new manager for them to find the confidence to play that way having been managed by a fraud previously. But all of them had a manager who was coaching a way to play, a way they choose to compete.
Gold said in January 2015 in the next 5 yrs they will win the PL and be a major force in Europe.
In reality the best they can hope for is the occasional EL qualification and then getting knocked out by a pub team.
Everyone's treating this like a joke, but it's also blunt fact. A professional football club exists to play football. And you need things like a club identity and idea of play. That's kind of how you hang the rest of the stuff together. And these mental midgets haven't got either of those things. They exist simply to fill space in the league table at this point, and that's why they're utter shit, and shall remain as such.
80% of my lads in my old codgers football team have bought an ST there. Everyone doesn't support WH. They all support Man U, Liverpool, etc.. They bought the cheapest ST they could, I've forgotten how much but think it was between £250 and £400! They use the ticket to see their team, which they historically would pay over the odds via a tout, but now they have become the tout and they sell the seat for all the other games. I keep forgetting to ask them if they had any success in selling the other games, but I am aware that the Liverpool and Man U supporters would pay more for a one off league game than they paid for the total ST cost, so they only need to sell their seat for one game and they are quids in compared to previous years.
Arguably, if you're a neutral, it was a good deal. Decent washrooms and the chance to watch a decent football team play as the visitors every couple of weeks. Pair it with a fun non-League/lower league side on alternating weekends and you could have an enjoyable year of football.
Yeah, but some just have a pub next to the pitch you can watch from. I think that's a fair trade off.
And two of the replies.
Or maybe the figures are total fucking bullshit.
