They had an agreement with FC United of Manchester ffs give the club a break!

Just stating the obvious and I've been giving the club a break since 1967.

It's a Forum not the Supreme Assembly of North Korea though there are a few happy clappers.

Somewhat ironic that in the same sentence you bleat that "its a forum" and then go on to use a derogatory term like 'happy clappers' about people who don't see things your way!

Somewhat ironical you use the term bleat I can concur that's something a happy clappers would do ..

I made a observation that we should have not been at FC United ground as we seem to have had a large number of lingering injuries whilst there.

I also said we should have left sooner for which I was accused of not giving the club a break.
I thought ostriches were only found in Africa.


By failing to prepare you are preparing for fail.
We walked into relegation because of this
I might be controversial it's my view as much as the flock bleat about it.

There was a contract, Pedro. That's not 'happy clapping' (whatever that means, anyway), it's a fact. How long had we been at FC United? Why wasn't there the spate of injuries in previous seasons? Why weren't you saying in previous seasons "We should leave"? Why, at the Q&A, did someone say (can't remember who) the artificial pitch had nothing to do with the injuries?

Get down off your high horse.

As a few are having a go at you Pedro, I’ll join in, and suggest that you think everyone that disagrees with you (and let’s face it there are many) are happy clappers.
And yes this a forum, and yes you are entitled to your own opinion (often wrong). You usyally take the bait , but your views, typos and bad grammar generally have some entertainment value. Keep it up.

Can't see it being geography as its around 30 miles between the two.

You recall that correlation does not equal causation.

Fcum used the same facilities and managed to finish second top scorers and joint second best defensive record. Yes they may be a few leagues below but they make it work for them. Spurs and Leicester probably have two of the best training facilities in the country and they’ve had abysmal seasons respectively.
