Nothing more puerile than defining your own word.

Now excuse me for jumping the gun here, but Gunny really is beginning to uncover some unknown gems. I know it''s only Dartford, Raith, St Johnstone and Airdrie, but Maric and Askou have really impressed by the sounds of things, put McSmall in there as well and remember it was Gunn who brought Cody in February, and it becomes clear he is looking for cheap yet cheerful solutions to becoming a real force in this league.

It''s something Worthy didn''t do, Grant tried and failed to do (Strihavka) and Roeder wouldn''t take anyone if it wasn''t a loan deal.

So, as I said I may really be jumping to a positive conclusion but at the moment I can''t help but get these positive vibes from Team Gunn''s dealings in the market.

OTBC.

[/quote]Agree with everything you say mate.Although I find it hard to believe that their''s actually a positive post or more on this board :O!

[Yellow Rose of Texas 0]

Yes, back to the original point, there does seem to be some progress on the pitch (and heaven knows we need some) although the real test is yet to come.

[XXL16 0]

Cannot disagree more, we finally have the winning feeling back!

More importantly is you also need to praise the hard work of Crook and Butterworth too!

Oh, so then a prerequisite to be an official member of your ilk - is that your ''gullible gonads'' have dropped? Tell all folk that you''ve bled ''yeller an'' green'' since being an embryo...but in reality, you''re just a long standing supporter since the Cardiff  ''Millennium Experience''. 

That you have proudly in your possession - a personally signed copy of one of our illustrious major-shareholders'' cookery books? (Having told Delia, that it was for your mum). 

Continue preaching that this will be our year? (Even after dropping into our lowest league position in 50 years)?

Attending games, but spend 90% tinkering with your blueberry/trendy phone, chatting to your mates, comparing piercings and your latest ''nah, didn''t hurt'' tattoo? 

Leaving your seat 7 minutes before half-time for a bottle of cardboard flavoured lager (''Can I see your ID please''!) and scalding your recently pierced tongue - on a tasteless & bland tortoise pie...after purchasing a couple of choccy bars (and a fat-coke) to see you through till 5)....

Applauding the team at full-time even after a 4-0 drubbing - as you actually aren''t aware of the score anyway, as a mate was letting you catch up with ''Big Brother'' and ''Hollyoaks'' on his touch-screen phone. Then asking a veteran supporter (whose got a 19 year old transistor radio pressed tightly against his ear) "Oi mate! What''s the Man U score, eh? Oh, and how did Chelsea, Liverpool and the Ar$e get on"?...

Then swaggering out of the stadium with your fellow chums, for a night round your gaff (coz your mum said it was OK) feasting on takeaway pizza, nachos, maltesers, haribo sour sweeties and litres and litres of lovely Coca Cola - while you all "shoot ''em up" macho style - on your X-Box....nice.

i think Gunn is going to turn out to be our Kevin Keegan

not the greatest tactical manager or coach, but thats what Chippy and Butterworth are there for.

i think hes strengths are going to be motivation, confidence, workrate and team spirit, as well as a eye for young or unknown talent.

Let''s see what happens shall we, Personally i think Gunn''s new players are generally decent players although OTJ is a gamble.

I''m not going to judge Gunn after last season as the players were set in a rot and we we''re sliding slowly down the table under Roeder.

I''m not going to say i think we''re going to win the title with ease but at the moment i think the future is looking a little brighter.

[Mister Chops 7]

Gunn had 19 games to keep us in the Championship, and he failed.He appears to be identifying some promising additions to a threadbare squad, but time will tell.Too early to congratulate him just yet, he''s done nothing of note as a manager except to get us relegated.  However, I very much hope we have a successful season in the third tier of professional football and get back to the Championship without an undue delay.He''ll get a "huge well done" from me when he achieves something worth congratulations for.

[Arthur Whittle 0]

I will neither praise or criticise till we have played a few competitive games to be honest.

[Lineo 0]

In the club''s current financial state, maybe putting the former head of scouting in charge wasn''t a bad idea..

[O.T.B.C 0]

I''m not saying that we will do well or a few decent pre season wins will set us up for the season, besides we have to play the ''bigger'' teams yet. But I think the way that Gunn is looking at players and getting them in for trials is a good start, this may have something to do with the fact we are skint, but even so, getting in some unknown players in and seeing how we get along with each other is a good thing.

I still have a good feeling about the season ahead, Gunn was not my choice and we should have got someone else in, but he is here and there is nowt I can do to change that. I hope that he does very well, as that means we will.

[Barclay_Boy 0]

would be hysterical if it wasn''t so tragic. looks like some of you are getting so excited you''ll be disappearing off to your bedroom with a box of tissues (thats'' you Smeg, and what an apt name). Gunn had 19 games last season and demonstrated his "skill" as a manager perfectly during that time. And what is said about Mushrooms? Kept in the dark and fed on.....Dream on, but nothing changes untl the witch is gone

Although the Americans may not have the same terminology as us, their points are entirely valid.There are a lot of idiots making idiotic points and suggestions on this message board, and on the terraces/TV; just because they say "at the end of the day" or "for me" or "early doors" doesn''t mean they''re not talking s**t.

Do try and keep up. What is it that you don''t get about people living overseas and supporting our team?

And while we are at it, with reference to the "soccer" that''s played over here, last time I checked the US Women''s team was ranked #1 in the world, and the U.S mens team just thrashed Spain 3-0 and lost by the odd goal in 5 to Brazil.

Or if you meant to have a dig at the "football" played over here, maybe you could come over and explain your viewpoint to the 18-year old giants who come visit my neighbor''s house after practice.

Its just different, that''s all. Or maybe that''s what so scary?

Good to see that you are following the new sheep now and not answering questions and harping back to Delia etc etc.

sorry C.I.B. the new sheep are the same as the old sheep, and they are the ones following Delia and Bryan. Sounds like you are right there amongst them.

ps - my opinion is more valid cos I know what I''m talking about, and don''t refer to the keeper as a "goal minder"

[Barclay_Boy 0]

bloodwagon - well done for supporting NCFC for 50 years. However it now seems that you have got old, broing and delusional. I, however, have supported city for 34 years, and am still cool, sharp opinionated and modest. Bad luck, you now only have expensive medical insurance to look forward to

[Yellow Rose of Texas 0]

Oh here we go again.... this concept of a Norfolk born NCFC supporter living overseas really does seem to be taxing some brain cells over there.

American''s know full well what they mean when they say Football. And you know full well what is meant by Soccer.

Its was BlyBlyBabes who first used the phrases "big girls football" and "big girls soccer", so perhaps "sharp" isn''t the best phrase to be using in regard to your powers of observation?

This is supposed to be a FOOTBALL forum, we have different points of view about things, so knock off all the insults eh?
