Hound Cardiff into the bottom 3. At least Rino will feel at home there

Why the spite towards him?

There seems a significant portion of people on here that seem to be practically drooling over the prospect of him, Laurent and Swift failing, despite them being important players in our continued presence in the division, Rino being one of our own and them always putting the work in.

It's pathetic.


Rino wasn’t really one of our own.

(Doesn’t detract from your point though)

More our own than Swift, roughly the same as Olise, bit less than Gylfi, hugely less than the Toms.
We need our all time players listed in order of ‘own ness’

It's just schadenfreunde isn't it, always happens in football.

I have absolutely no feeling towards those who have left and think we are actually better off this season as a result but get why people are finding it amusing that we are above all of their clubs. It's pantomime stuff really. Long way to go, all 3 could still finish above us.

On another note, Cardiff manager must be under a bit of pressure. No way the owners there sanctioned the massive recruitment drive to be sat in 22nd and have 1 win in 7 following their opening day win over Norwich.


I agree, schadenfreunde is the perfect description rather than hate towards the players who left for what they no doubt believed would be better opportunities, and let’s face facts, a bigger salary than we are in a position to offer them. I think if we would have been able to offer a similar financial package to that they were offered elsewhere they’d still be here. Loyalty is only for the fans.

Not our rivals, I know, but there are two teams in Scotland doing the same!
Will Queensly have to change her name as well? I would suggest Kingsly, but that has already been taken. Knowing Hobnobbers wit, I am sure someone can come up with a better suggestion?

Surely this is utter bollocks. The team is named after a place, so unless the place changes name why would they need to? Queen's Park, for instance, have been called that since the time of Victoria, despite all the kings who followed her. And no-one seemed to have a problem with King's Cross.

Pub near us changed it’s name on Saturday from Queen’s Arms to King’s Arms. Landlord not happy, has cost a fortune to get a new sign painted, very specialised job apparantly.

Of course it is utter -------, It's just a bit of fun, but still catches some people out though.

So why did he change it then? If it’s the brewery telling him to then presumably the brewery foot the bill?

Personally I’d boycott any pub that did something so ridiculous.

I expect Russell Martin will beat him to it after another late goal conceded. 94th min winner for Sheff Utd. Shame because Swansea seriously looked the part for the first 60 mins against us last season.

Watford manager got to be in trouble. A measly 6 points in their last 6 games
