Usual deluded know nothing comments. How were they stolen exactly, did Brian Carey knock them out and lock them in his SUV after training one day when no one was looking or were they out of contract and preferred the greater chance of eventually playing at a higher level one day rather than fighting to avoid the drop year after year in a 3rd world stadium? Probably on more dosh but not without approval of the FL.
Bit of humility wouldn't go amiss. You're in danger of a jimmy everyone else in L1 is tinpot attitude.
Cambridge are in a bad place, and that's largely because we've nabbed their goalscorers. Reasonable to be resentful.
Tbh I think it's often other fans who need a bit of humility. I reminds me of when we were competing with West Ham and started saying that Pardew had betrayed us, we almost saw them as a rival. And for quite a while they were underperforming at the same time we were peaking and so it felt even more like that.
It's only with hindsight you realise they're a different stratosphere of club to whom we're an irrelevance. It's the same with some clubs down here.
Yes, we all deserve to be in this league, and our off pitch situation remains very concerning. But we're a big club at this level and of course players will want to join us. If Cambridge fans can't see that they're probably being blinded by emotion over reason.
I don't like talking in those terms, but being a "big club" in your league matters. It's how we've been able to pull together a good team without paying any transfer fee.
Humility all round would be good yes, the bigger the club the more needed generally.
We had a problem with West Ham and Pardew because at the time we were on a level playing field, Pardew had just openly commited to the club long term at a fans forum and West Ham's 'Mr Clean' top dog openly admitted live on the BBC they would tap him up in a way that was unacceptable.
At the time and for quite a long period after we were genuine league rivals competing for the same things.
It's completely different.
