Have all clubs started using the term 'tifos'? I often avoid the occasionally repeated 'phrases that annoy you' thread because I believe in the evolution of language, and the ever shrinking world thanks to the internet bringing cultural and lingual variations together.
But I might be inclined...
Because Paddy's seen what's like now and doesn't want it anymore.
(or more likely because the palace fans wouldn't like it because it's not a clean enough break from Hodgson of late)
I mean, the point he is trying to make is entirely reasonable. If he'd have said 'they're only going to be able to do that if the fans stick with us even when things aren't necessarily going our way, helping us to turn it around' he'd be making exactly the same point, it just wouldn't be so easy...
This reads like the Board made those decisions in a vacuum. The fans turned on their young coaches because they lost a few games. The fans wanted them sacked. They welcomed the dinosaurs that came in to replace them, and at least in the case of Roy's return, they got fully behind him when he...
Would have loved Hodgson to have responded to the questions with something like 'well, the brighton fans were very supportive of me', just to troll the palace fans.
When I saw the news about Olise I just assumed it was one of those instances you get where main players are reported as "injured" before a cup game when the manager wants to pplay a weakened team without admitting that's what they are doing. See also 'fixture pile up means he is tired and I need...
I seem to remember reading recently about the HS2 debacle, where the guy who delivered HS1 noted they hadn't sought his advice. He noted one of the things he would have told them was to not make the budget public. He didn't for HS1 and delivered it under budget, they did for HS2, and from what I...

Headline-maker One of our American owners, John Textor, has been in the press a lot recently. I expect we’ll be hearing a lot more about his intentions, and the implications for the...

Oh come on. Man Utd didn't buy him a car or discuss his/the manager's daughter's private life in the press! How could he possibly have shone in such circumstances.
Would it? A hammering might be the impetus to change. All the while they just keep slipping, making that one error, they go again. They don't take a long hard look at themselves, they don't feel like they owe the fans something, etc. A good hammering might be just what they need to push them...
