Nothing but support this early in the season.

You don't attend games so making comments like this based on highlights is ridiculous. Try spending your hard earned cash watching 90 minutes week after week and you wouldn't be posting nonsense.

Live in the US, come home 3 times a year, watch about 5-8 games live. Pay a considerable amount of my hard earned cash to stay connected the best way I can to follow a team I supported for 45 years. Would love to see more games live, and support my team through this difficult patch. Is there an amount of cash I need to spend until I'm entitled to a legitimate opinion ?

I can't really comment on your own situation but in general, I do not believe that a person that sees 23 home league games a season is more of a fan than someone who only attends 22. This only leads to "I'm a bigger fan than you" statements which are seemingly ridiculous and undermine the whole ethos that we all support the same team and are in some way "bonded together" ............ although strangely there are many at both home and away games that I would not want to be associated with in any shape or form. :omg:

Back to the thread, a bit more "respect" from us all for a person's point of view (even if it is clearly rubbish :winking:) is the way forward, isn't it?

It's nothing to do with who the biggest fan is the point is unless you are actually at the game you can't see the whole picture, the lack of effort, the dejected look on the players faces, the confusion etc. TV only gives a fraction of the overall picture so yes those who have attended live games since xmas on a regular basis have a much clearer idea of just how bad things are.

Now that is a better way of putting it .......... agreed - it's attending the games that gives you a better view. My personal dislike is the use of cogent (and at times meaningless) statistics to demonstrate a point of view when it is as clear as the nose on my face what the real situation was.
