a1canary 0 Posted March 20, 2008 So he says in his interview on the official site - a big club, a big history, with fans! Well i suppose it must be a novelty to have them when you''ve come from Blackburn!When he says a big history, you think he refers to our ''92 UEFA Cup exploits? Beating Vittesse Arnhem? He''s only a boy, that must seem yonks ago for him. Sorry Maceo, in the big scheme of things, our ''history'' is not that great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is trying to say the right things to win over the fans. He also came from a very small club in Holland. He will be playing in front of a 25,000+ crowd on saturday.I dont understand what he said was so bad. Would you prefer he put us down?We really dont give anyone new a chance before people start to knock them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

londoncanary 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Well to be honest this is a ridiculous post! OK we haven''t got the most impressive history but we still have alot to be proud of! Why would you play down what we have done for a club which lets face it is from a tiny city in the middle of nowhere!!! I believe we still are the only English club to beat Bayern away! We have a history worth being proud of!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a light hearted pre holiday post - the dig is at Blackburn (no fans - do i have to point it out!). No dig at us or him. Where did i say anything was bad? Lighten up dude!As for the history, it''s just fact, sorry if you can''t handle it. Our history is NOT that great. I don''t underestimate what we have acheived, but lets not kid ourselves, a couple of league cups, a couple of lower league titles, an fa cup run before anyone had a colour television, a "run" in the uefa cup... We can respect that but we don''t need to get precious about it and can aspire to a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
