You can't honestly tell me you'll be stood there at the end of the game giving them a round of applause? 

Bloody nutter!

If you're being paid handsomely to play professional football (note the "professional" bit) and you're a part of the team which has delivered one of the worst seasons in the club's long history, ultimately resulting in relegation, you need to be accountable for your role therein.

And if the club's fans showing their displeasure at all this causes you to go into a depressive funk and does anything other than galvanise you into doing better in future......

......you can fuck right off and play for somebody else in my book.

I know that everybody's different and the art of management is all about knowing your team and working out what motivates them, but you've got to draw the line somewhere and anybody who would be seriously affected by a few fans sodding off without cheering them and saying thanks for getting relegated clearly hasn't got the moral fibre to compete in the rough, tough world of pro sport.

They're footballers, not fucking concert pianists.

In fact, look at the bloke in my Avi.

Do you think he'd be out there expecting to be thanked by his adoring public after a season like we've just had?

Would he fuck.

He'd be issuing a full page apology in the BN and promising to make amends.

We need more of that, not more pandering to our bunch of clueless twats.

And thinking about it, saying "Aw, never mind...well done, anyway" to the young players could actually do more harm than good because it creates this idea that seasons like this one are in some way acceptable.

Which they're fucking not. Obviously.....

Spot on Breaders.

So you are saying that the reason that these players got us relegated was not because they weren't good enough? Weird that because you've been saying they're not good enough and lack quality all season.

I think they weren't anywhere near good enough which obviously isn't their fault. They are what they are - which may poor in professional footballing terms but I think it's wrong to snub them just because they couldn't perform miracles.

There is simply no good argument for anything but a chorus of boos and a few coins aimed in their direction.

If you let her clap these ponces you're sending out totally the wrong message and she'll grow up with the sole ambition of bedding a footballer.

I've just changed £500 in notes for 2 pence coins.
