This post doesn't make sense.

How can me 'bleating' about how short we are and how hard it's going to be, be the 'opposite to' someone like you saying it'll be a tough struggle? Surely we're actually saying the same thing?

I'll accept I'm probably not as partisan as some, that's years of Fawaz and the Greeks pre-Dane Murphy that's done that. But my stance, from what I've read on here isn't that much different from the norm really so let's not pretend I'm saying we're definitely going down, perhaps with less than 11 points and all our new signings will flop as it just isn't true.
Well you don't need to keep going on about how short we are, I know it probably seems abit cliche and sickly but maybe actually 'trust the process'?

Alot of us acknowledge it's going to be a tough season but don't feel the need to state it every other post either. It's just constant procrastination on your part, well that's how it comes across to me anyway.

Fair enough, I wouldn't have said stating what we need was not trusting the process but there we go...

Tomato tomato, you get the point

What is in it for me to to make up all this up.

Things change quickly in football

I remain positive

I provided my opinions, and some info I heard whilst asking about the Richards situation that’s all

For all those asking how do I know Cooper is frustrated, can you all tell me first why he is happy and what’s your source?
A low-risk mechanism for inflating the ego? A way of quieting the voices? I don't know. There's quite a few when you think about it.

He will be signed by Wednesday I reckon, 10m+ is a lot of money in the championship as we all know

I don't like many other football clubs but I do have a bit of a soft spot for Sheffield Wednesday.

He's not going there though. They can't afford him and his ambitions are higher than League One . . . . .

Can't believe what I've woken up to; this place needs a signing almost as much as the forest midfield.

I don't believe anyone actually posted what cooper actually said, forgive me if I'm wrong:

"Of course we need more players to come in, there's no doubt about that. That's slowed down a little bit, and we've got to make sure that doesn't stay like that for too long.”

I think that's fair to say could be read as frustration but also just stating the obvious.

Could one of them be just passing on information because thought folk would be interested.

Hey lets just hope I am wrong and all this backlash can be justified.

Didn’t think it would cause such commotion

Well I was passed information that’s everything is hunky dory so Red Widdow’s contact is wrong. There, that was easily solved.

Phew, was getting worried wondering how I was going to say I told you so.

Although you didn’t say hunky dory with what ?

Lots of things are hunky dory, only right now are a few issues, frustrations.

What you on about?

When was last time I love and stroked it, it’s been the first time for years that I’ve posted any information that I’ve heard on here, so how I come to that opinion from my posts todays.

I’ve had to take time to respond to posters telling me I am a bullshitter and making stuff up, I have to tell everyone my sources otherwise, it’s just voices in my head, now stoking stuff and loving it

I’ve clearly said what was my opinions and stuff heard on feedback when I asked about Richards and what was the camp like after a few pre season games.

What do I have to knock off?

Lots of sensitive folk on here who seem to spend more time taking it out on posters who are just on here to pass things heard

It's becoming apparent that you'll be jumped on if you post something on here that doesn't fit the general narrative, particularly if you're responding to a one of a group of well established forum members.

I dunno about sensitive RW.

If you are confident on your info why not just sit back and wait for the proof to prove people wrong instead of feeling the need to defend yourself over everything. People will make their own minds up.

What am I missing? Why the hostility towards this Widdow guy?!

I can only assume there’s previous. Though I remember being hounded off here when I was pointing out that Hughton was shit and was the problem. Was told to f*** off and take my negativity elsewhere. Of course I was right, but apparently that wasn’t welcome.

This in the same week that Calvin guy has a meltdown and the mods say there is no clique, yet look at the response to this guys post. Strange.

Agreed, I was the same about 4 years ago with Karanka. Said he was rubbish and our football was boring to watch. I also remember saying Pantilimon was awful and we should try and replace him and you'd think I'd criticised Stuart Pearce.

Then to top it off I questioned the decision to loan out Worrall to Rangers and then sign Hefele, again had the same, usual posters on me like a ton of bricks questioning my loyalty for not just blindly being on board with club decisions. The same know it alls pointed out Ben Brereton as a shining example of why the club should offload youngsters if they're not good enough...

Most likely because over the years we've had numerous #itk bullshit merchants on the forum that non of us are inclined to believe a word they say.

Especially when the information is vague enough to not be disputed either way.

You're allowed a difference of opinion and you're allowed to disagree and debate said point.

All the things you've just posted I'd have agreed with, and I e been on here 20 years and would arguably be in the "clique" and allot of the older posters also agree with those points.

People will debate your opinion on here and that's why we come here, if you just want people to agree with you then this ain't the place to be.

Now that is a fair point, and was happy to do that, but when keep getting abuse, I ain’t going to back down and take it on the chin, (well in actuality a keyboard and screen) , cos doubt anyone would act like they do on here face to face, when someone drops off information that doesn’t fit their agenda.

Don’t think I’ve been negative, not abused anyone, just responded but like you say folk will make their mind up, even if some of them are simply mindless (oooo I can be bitchy too lol)


Hey, I am to be told by forum members who clearly know a lot more, for which I am pleased to hear that…

Richards, isn’t injured, just a knock

Cooper is as happy as a pig in shit certainly not frustrated two key players been injured and only wants a few more players

I hear the contact on table hasn’t been signed and still with his lawyers (and waiting on said number of arrivals to be signed) but others will tell me (especially as he is is so happy with everything right now) that all is signed and he’ll be on the official site in the 3rd kit showing it off

Bang on - Widdow appears and cites at least a couple of pieces of info that are either not reported anywhere else or contradict reports from other sources including a direct comment from the manager re the issue with Richards.... if the club come out and confirm what they say then great.

I will agree that we do tend to err on the side of optimism rather than doom and we've all gotten in scrapes over the years - I came out heavily against Lamouchi and had a few ding dongs with posters but you have to take it - its a forum.

Ok fine, but maybe give him chance to see if he what he says is bollocks or not first?

Anyway, I’m off for a jog while the heat is still bearable…maybe that is partly to blame. People getting all hot under the collar. Have some ice lollies ltlf!
