The Guardian championship fans view

Mon Aug 02, 2010 1:12 pm

What a load of old bollocks, I always thought respectable folk read The Guardian football news, but our bloke views on our hate figure is beyond me.

6 clubs have us to go up and 3 hate us :lol:

At 5ft 5 Darcy Blake is no centre half. The reason Mark Kennedy is a hate figure is that we will no longer get to read his blogs :cry:

The Cardiff fan is "Thames Valley Blue" I believe, from MM's site.

He's no midfielder due to an inability to pass the ball.

No way Darcy is 5 ft 5...

As I said on ccmb they edited down what I said. I'd said Kennedy might get some stick over his blog and they took that out and made him into a hate figure.

And nerd - what's wrong with the 1927 club exactly?

And I said Blake was a centre half and they changed it to a midfielder, although ninianboy1 will tell you he's a midfielder ;)

There was a decent discussion on Radio 5 last night too about the lower leagues. We didn't get many mentions and were routinely dismissed as "in disarray." Hard to argue really, especially if as can only be expected one or two big names depart, but then consolidating and restructuring the club is far from failure in my eyes. Warnock was as charasmatic as ever on there, he might well come across as a horrible guy at times, especially in opposition, but really is a top bloke, at least deep down somewhere!

That's what I was wondering. Kennedy was a fans player. Not a great player but Kennedy cared about the fans. At away games when we scored, Kennedy would often celebrate with the fans and be the last back to the other side of the pitch. WBA away is a good example of this.

It was me who wrote it and as per my post three or four up, it was an unfortunate misquote / subedit

Bloody journalists!

Sorry TVB didn't see your post above. Also, ignore Ben, when he doesn't understand something, he just uses a smilie instead of words.
