I'm not profoundly fed up with football at all. I am profoundly fed up with what our shower of incompetents have done to this club.

Profoundly fed-up (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 16, 11:02:40
- Fair point (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 16, 11:08:10
  - "Shitty League" - never a truer word spoken on WOTB. (n/m) (NCFC) - Snakey, Jan 16, 11:12:41
  - Disagree. Apart from the SKY Four, there's three others with the capacity to do so (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 11:11:01
    - Spurs? You must be joking! (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 16, 11:19:10

        It's happening all across Europe though (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 11:43:32
        
        I think we're agreeing mostly... (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 16, 11:53:18
        
        Shirely it's about re-adjusting your goals and ideas of competing (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jan 16, 11:59:40
        
        Success doesn't have to be instant (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 12:03:44
        
        but they aren't simply standing still (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 16, 12:03:35
        
        Correct. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 12:07:06
        
        So, I find that depressing, (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 16, 11:23:05
    - And look at how much money Villa/Spurs/ManCity (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 16, 11:16:29
    - It is the only way we will ever get back into the Premiership sadly (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 16, 11:16:09
      - How have Hull or West Brom 'whored their arses off'? (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 11:18:00
        
        aren't Hull trying too though... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jan 16, 11:40:44
        
        but thats it isn't it if they fail, they will have made a stupid decision and should have (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jan 16, 11:51:34
        
        I don't deride them for signing Ashton when we did (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 12:01:31
        
        Calculated gamble with the TV revenue they've earned? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 11:44:23
        
        by not being in such a parlous state as we are is probably one reason (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 16, 11:20:12
        
        I don't. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 11:22:03
        
        good (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 16, 11:22:37
        
        Do you not care who they appoint next then? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 11:23:48
        
        of course I care! Absolutely. (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 16, 11:40:46
        
        They've picked one inexperienced manager (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 16, 11:28:52
        
        If you don't have the money to get someone decent in (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Jan 16, 11:35:43
        
        I'd agree with you on the Mike Walker/Bruce Rioch points (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 16, 12:09:02
