Personally I like Steve Bloomer's Watching. I agree with many of the problems you've highlighted with the song, but I like that we have our own song about club legend rather than recycling other clubs' chants or crap pop songs. The idea that a f****** U2 guitar riff of all things would inspire or intimidate anyone is unbelievably quaint.

So everyone clapping, lots singing, with a finale of a loud “Derby!” isn’t building the atmosphere just seconds from kick off?
How would listening to music get the crowd engaging en mass anymore than this does?
 
Unless it’s less noise you want while you check your bets online? 😂
 

Ultimately, it's all about the team for me... it's a team game when all said and done.
Both Rhodes and May play for teams that haven't scored as many as us.
Arguably, we're doing just fine without them.

Just my opinion, we need quality over quantity. We don't need 2 or 3 players who will sit on the bench waiting for minutes, we need a number 9 who can score goals.
If there is a budget, blow the lot on a decent striker, that will be the difference between top 2 and not.

If you want to complain about style of football, possession stats, xG, humour or bobble hats, go for it, however in the results business, our form since the Stevenage game is stupendous.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas for Monday 🎄🎅🏻🎉 Hope you are all on Santa’s nice list. Here’s hoping for a Boxing Day win ⚽️🐏

This is the highlight of my Christmas 2023. Best gift ever. UTR

I know I'm new around here, but nevertheless I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! And to B4's family and friends, and anyone who is missing someone special this Christmas, I hope the precious memories of your loved ones will bring you some comfort.

See you at Wigan on Boxing Day. 

I'm someone who would have got it big time wrong if I had been in Clowes shoes. After the Shrewsbury game I was openly calling for Warne to be gone, felt like he had lost the dressing room and was totally lost with a bunch of summer recruits that looked like they'd been drawn out of a tombola. I still don't quite understand what changed, really, but it sure has clicked. And that is why you should never listen to me, or pretty much anyone else who posts on forums. We haven't got a clue what we're on about.

Looking forward to spending our first Christmas together in our new house in the countryside.

NINE POINTS!!!!
Have we forgotten the spirit of B4 already?

Most of the teams in this league are s**** and I think we look just as bad as the rest a lot of the time
But we’re starting to have games now where we’re able to put it together for 15/20 mins at a time which seems to be enough to win games
Despite the amount of people on here who spiralled into crisis mode at 1-1, just look at the table tonight
- Joint second most goals scored in the league
- Second tightest defence in the league
- One point off the automatics and into third (for the time being)
We’ve got a lot of room to improve but, if we do improve, we can actually get automatically promoted this season if we have an alright January
Why not us? The rest of them are crap as well

First things first this not a scam. Long time member - used to be a moderator - drifted away now slowly getting drawn back in.
In a story too long to tell I have a spare YL (youth Large?) away shirt (blue and black check)
Should fit an 8/9 year old.
anybody want it DM me - I should be at the game on Thursday if not I could arrange postage.
 
just thought there might be someone on here who could do with a little goodwill this time of year.
 
 

I would happily have taken the position we are in a week before christmas, 3 points off automatic promotion back in August.
Plenty of room for improvement but winning is a nice habit and confidence will give us an extra boost going into the next few games.
We won't win them all, we will lose one or two soon enough but thats when you need to go on another run. The other teams wont win every game either.
Its all to play for, enjoy it! Look forward to a proper scrap for those top 2 positions over the coming weeks and months.

Just got the tree and decorations down from the loft and found a present I forgot to give to the wife last year. Shame really because I know she would've loved a kitten.

I haven't watched GB News because it is just another billionaire controlled news outlet. If however they have had "left" leaning airtime to debate public ownership of water, transport, NHS, gas and electric then i'd happily tune in. 
Its my belief that full and open debate on these issues are gone forever. Every populist rabble rouser, media outlet whether its TV or papers and all the major political parties are now fully committed to full privatisation, Freeports, deregulation and tax evasion.
I look around the media forlornly looking for a champion for people who have to lose their homes because they need care after working all their lives, striving to try and leave a little for their kids while billionaires and corporations get tax cuts every budget. Maybe the odd shout up about government saying they can't afford to reduce poverty while being able to afford to increase it to appease the rich would make an interesting discussion.
Why isn't just one national news station demanding the end of pumping sewage into our rivers and seas for instance, Not one, one or two tiny organisations try their best on social media to highlight it but its a very small audience.
We're well and truly fecked. Owned lock, stock and barrel by the vulture capitalist, hedge fund gamblers who control all the media and politicians.

Got to love the start of summer, Good Times festival today. Not really looking forward to the 35deg and high humidity though, 33 deg at 10.00 am.

What car am I currently driving?
The same one I was driving when this thread started.
Unless it's wheels fall off, I hope I'll still be driving it when I hit seventy years of age. When I may give up my licence and rely on public transport.

It's knowing  I-Ram  is always there for me that keeps me going!

I’m one of his 1000 followers on Twitter too. He’s comedy gold. 

Sorry if i missed it but I couldn’t see a thread for her. She used to referee our clubs games , girls teams. She was always very pleasant. I’ve ben at the WSL Arsenal v Liverpool game today and they had a minutes silence for her, impeccable and sombre as it was so quiet. Was quite sad if i am honest.

If you take a life, what are you?  Alright, killers then.  I am not judging by using those words, it is what it is.  Killing in the name of some power that be is not less of a killing.  I understand men were conscripted, forced to bear arms and I find that criminal, the state acting as if human beings are their property and leaving them with scars that won't heal and a conscious that accuses.

I mean by definition we all feel that our own views, or those that agree with our opinions, are the correct and balanced ones. That's why those are our views in the first place.  From my perspective you've got two feet planted firmly in the Israeli camp. But again, that's just my perspective, it might be me that's the biased one.
