Derby on television = Humiliation

I've just read that the game against the Mackems is probably going to be live on Sky. My heart sank.

Robson has bought shite in the past and continues to do so. The Mackems haven't bought any "big names" but they beat our lot of wankers last year without any, so why not this year? I cannot ever recall having been so pessimistic about a coming season.

Robson has a few short weeks to do something before I start to hate him.

Fer crying out loud!!!!!! At least let's let the season start before we doom and gloom ourselves to death. So what,no superstars have signed. All of us on this board have over the years taken great delight in slagging off the so called superstars from abroad. Bobby may be wrong in buying British, and buying young, but let's see what they can do. Oh..... OK then let's not. Let's fire Bobby and start all over again. Would you like a Dutchman, a Scotsman or perhaps a Swede or a Spaniard for a coach. Now I am not saying we have bought the best, or even paid a fair price for them, but let's judge them on the field, in Black and White before we sack everyone and become...............mackems or smogs. Fire away lads and lasses, no blindfold required.

Why wait until the season starts for the doom and gloom? did you think we were good towards the end of last season? do you think we've improved our situation/team at all? I don't and it's effing making me furious! all last year we were total crap and we've waited for the end of the season to see about the new transfer rules/who we're gonna spend this 100 million on just to find out that it's all a load of bollox again!! no wonder some of us are getting desperately depressed!!

I got enough in my life to make me depressed without letting the footy make it worse. I'm determined to retains some small shred of optimism about the footy until at least August 19th. ;-)
