Yeah but disinterested or uninterested fans doesn't make sense. There is no such thing.

[El Pibe]

that is a far point, well, you know....sj.....

[StraferJack]

?

[red devil]

Interested enough to be disinterested...

[Jah Lush]

All the old guard have gone and it was good to see young players getting their chance. Of those making their debut, Coleman impressed me most.

"sorry D_C, another pedants myth.

disinterested can also mean uninterested as well as neutral"

Not so sure it's a myth - rather that usage encompasses both meanings. Uninterested is more precise because it doesn't have the alternative meaning.

Re England football, we have some decent young players but the closing of the skills gap between us and other countries just makes our tactical ineptitude more glaring.

[El Pibe]

the myth being that they are mutually exclusive.

So what do you think about our new(ish) manager?

Good? Bad? Indifferent?

End of last season I wanted him gone because he didn't have the team on-side. Now I think he has.

Only asking because the upper classes aren't playing this week so am able to get a word in :)

I initially read that as "new shit manager", then I thought... what's new about that? B)

[aquarius moon]

Thank-you Maxxi.

Shit reply from you as usual but at least you bothered to reply ;-)

Bring back Steve Lomas

[red devil]

You were being a bit hasty in your judgement of Holloway AQm, he needed the summer and pre seasonn to get the team 'onside', ship out the players he didn't rate and bring in new faces. If he can get a much smaller club like Blackpool into the PL, who knows...

Maybe people didn't bother to reply because of the not so subtle passive aggressive nature of this. So if Millwall got themselves promoted, would that mean they were suddenly upper class? Or just that they're not shit anymore?

[Alan Medic]

Isn't there a thread for non PL teams somewhere?

[????]

Yup, died a death when the Hammers got promoted. Was a lot more friendly than this one generally.

A passive aggressive post with a smiley face? What are you on about? I was making a light hearted comment implying that I don't have many opportunities to get a word in because this thread is supposed to be about the premier league.

Both!

There is but I'll be the only one posting on it!

[red devil]

I thought this thread was about football in general, not specifically the PL. Surely it's up to fans of non PL teams to be more proactive...

[aquarius moon]

I'll rephrase that then....

Nobody seems interested in any of the lower leagues because all the regulars support premiership teams.

[Alan Medic]

I like to think I'm quite interested in the other divisions. In the case of Millwall, I always liked Holloway and wondered why he bailed out at Palace. Some of his interesting quotes......

I try to keep up with the other divisions. Used to watch Charlton a fair bit so keep an eye on them, but by the time MOTD is finished I'm usually too knackered to sit through the football league show.

[Alan Medic]

If you get a chance to see McGeady's second goal for the ROI you will enjoy it. If it was George Best I'd have been drooling.

[aquarius moon]

Thanks for the link AM.

Didn't know much about IanH til he took us over.

Interesting reading.

Personally, I've found they're okay for a visit, but...
