RE: You certainly should be beating us. You should be in the Premiership. Met a couple of ******* stupid ones.
RE: Do you toss yourself off whilst looking at your reflection in the mirror ? I say well done, the point I was making was in reply to numerous threads on here stating that you guys think it is wrong that we were dissapointed not to beat you.
RE: Do you toss yourself off whilst looking at your reflection in the mirror ? 'Specially after all the pre match ***** on your boards about how you would roll us over no probs eh? 3- 0 I think was the general concensus by your 'experts ' I believe
RE: Did you watch George Burley during the game He was like a disjointed widmill at times arms flying all over the place. He knew you were crap.
RE: Fair comment........ Ahh another person that seems to think we were constantly in a relegation fight every season, look at the positions in them 27 years. The fact we only finished in the bottome six in about 7 or 8 of them 27 years blows your argument up. Do your research before posting such crap.
RE: Do you toss yourself off whilst looking at your reflection in the mirror ? And I'm disappointed we didn't beat you. Which shows what a good job our gaffer's doing.</p> Football still thank God is a meritocracy. I know certain Chairmen would like the Prem a closed shop to stop 'big' clubs the humiliation of relegation, but we all are where we deserve to be. I certainly think you should be top 6 come the end of the season, but it has to be earnt. Good luck anyway.</p>
RE: no he wasn't At least 2 official approaches were made, with Chelsea believed to have stated they would match any bid. However Bale has signed for us, we have the best academy in the country so he is at the best place to learn his trade for now.h
just read what your original post was about and to be honest no team has a god given right to beat anyone, just becasue you are a bigger club than us means sweet fa! Yes you are among the favourites to go up and you have spent alot of money, but spending money does not mean success! In all honesty there is no way on this planet that any big prem club has bid 8 milion for Bale, if that was the case you would have snapped their hands off, he is a young lad who has scored some good free kicks and has potential to be very good but 8 million is a lot to gamble on potential, he is not a rooney or walcott! I do believe you have a very good acdemey and stadium, but when you talk about been big clubs and saying you should be beating barnsley etc can easily be seen as arrogant and is clearly why you get the abuse back!
Better than Man U? Did you take a look around while you were at our **** tip of a ground? Right behind the cowshed you were housed in is one of the best Academy facilities in the country. Another "Premiership" setup. You are right that you would expect to beat us seeing as we are the new boys in town and all that. But last season is now irrelevant. If you are to go up, you will only do so by hard graft and team spirit. Plus a bit of talent. All teh best with that, but don't patronise us with all this big club B*ll*cks
RE: Fair comment........ Reight. Premiership Years - final league position. 1992/93 - 18th 1993/94 - 18th 94/95 - 10th 95/96 - 17th 96/97 - 16th 97/98 - 12th 98/99 - 17th 99/00 - 15th 00/01 - 10th 01/02 - 11th 02/03 - 8th 03/04 - 12th 04/05 - 20th. You had 4 good years where you got lucky with Beattie and Strachan. Illusions of grandeur still dominant.
RE: And in those other years... They've been lucky. Without Le Tissier and Beattie they would have be relegated years before they were.
RE: Better than Yes better than Man U, with all the players coming through at the moment. We have won the FA Academy league for the last 3 years, the last 2 by approx 20 points, we are also the current national academy champions. FA Youth Cup finals, Internationals such as Walcott, Bale plus England Youth captain Crainie, England youth regulars Dyer, Matt Mills (now at Man City) And all of this success when our better academy players have been sent on loan or been playing in first team. Widely known as the best training facilities in the country behind Man Utd and Chelsea. A World renowned sports medicine and performance director in Clive Woodward. Is that enough for you?
In all honesty You're saying the same sort of thing we were after our last relegation . The first home match of the season was against Cheltenham , which we drew 1-1 .A huge number of Barnsley fans were saying things like , "We should be beating the likes of Cheltenham" , "We're a far bigger club with far superior facilities" , "It's only four years since we were beating the likes of Manchester United , Tottenham , Aston Villa and Liverpool" . None of it altered the scoreline , though . No Barnsley fan was interested whether their snobbish attitude would be upsetting to Cheltenham supporters . However , I hope all the other so-called big clubs show similar disrespect to us . I won't lose any sleep over what they , the bookies and all the expert pundits think of our chances of survival . I don't suppose Watford were too bothered last season either , about being one of the favourites to be relegated .
Football is about what happens on the pitch... Let's hope for your sake that all these young stars actually make it. Clive Woodward. Wow. You are right. Elevate this club to the Premiership with immediate effect.
