I’ll admit I hate those type of games but no matter how bored I am at these I’ve never been as bored as I was on Saturday and Tuesday. The fact that I don’t recall the only “highlight” shown on Sky Sports from the Brentford game has led me to believe that I did indeed fall asleep.

Games against the lower sides in rugby league at least normally have the odd full length try or cracking team try to wake you up. Saturday and Tuesday had fuck all.

I’m not turning this into a rugby v football debate because there’s no point, but I’m pretty sure I’d have had more enjoyment from a chess match than our last two games at home and that is the problem that we have at the minute. We have next to no creativity whatsoever.[/quote]

Spot On!

Nothing wrong with supporting (going to watch!) both teams but if your not enjoying it then why attend every game.

To all those having ago, hands up who attends every single latics game home and away??

Bet there aint many of you but does that make you any less of a supporter compared to somebody who does![/quote]

Not enjoying it would suggest the team’s on a losing streak or bad run of form so you don’t attend. So you are actually saying that you only enjoy it when we’re winning/on a good run of form. By definition that would qualify some people to say they are bigger supporters than others, the ones that go whichever opponents, whichever division, win, lose or draw, wouldn’t it?

I didn’t enjoy most of the Premier League years because it was horrible to watch us getting beaten most weeks but the desserts were that much sweeter when eventually served (beating the big four one by one, FA Cup etc.). I enjoyed last season far more because the games were closer and tighter and simply better to watch regardless of the result.

I must be a bit of a masochist because I’m enjoying it this season too. I’m enjoying all of the, largely inappropriate, moaning and groaning of the people that sit around me. The same people that berated Jordi for so long wishing he was back etc.

Such is the nature of this league, I reckon we might get something at Derby tomorrow. A goal would do for a start ;)

I’d have to disagree. I watched him pretty closely on Tuesday night and he has a really good touch and a quick mind, a few light years quicker than some of his team mates. One for the future, make no mistake.

I also watched Riera closely who did precisely nothing. He lost 95% of headers. He was offside three times where any pro footballer, let alone striker, should not have been caught. His positional sense was rubbish. He was lightweight in the challenge. The old chestnut about a striker not getting service doesn’t apply here. At least Fortune ran around and looked for it whilst delivering nothing.
