How about a petition protesting against the protesters... :hyper: :twisted:

I don't take part in any (as Kean would say) 'active' protest (no bed sheets and yellow garments in my arsenal), but I'm also not naive enough to think everything in the garden is as rosey as it once was and that everything will suddenly become alright just through the owners sticking their heads in the sand indefinitely.

We are a club in crisis, the scale of which is undertermined as yet

What? All the time? I tweeted to him for the first time ever yesterday and we had a total of about 8 tweets each! :| :shrug:

And how can differing opinions make twitter fun for you if you block people who disagree with you? :dunce:

Hey Moon, careful, that's nearly a rational opinion!

Any protests before the Newcastle game? Would be good to see the fans get behind the team, we have a real chance of beating Newcastle if we play like we have been

Didn't the fans get behind the team vs Fulham after a protest outside?

Don't believe the players EXCUSE about the protests making them play like cocks

I don't think the protests have any affect on the players. Got some decent results and some bad results from them. I have more respect for the protesters than the people that just bury their heads in the sand and hope everything works out ok.

But, but, David Dunn says the protests make him run at 0.0001mph max, pass to nobody, blow his cheeks after 15 minutes and blame teammates for terrible passes :yeahright:

You both seem to be blithely ignoring that most of the criticism concerning protests affecting performances, were about protesting in the ground during games...

Well we all know what the outcome was so protesting during the game is just an excuse when we lose. Protesting wasn't given as one of the reasons why we beat Swansea. If I heard booing I would bloody try harder......

If you were being booed would you not want to make sure that when you come off that field you have worked as hard as you could so no fingers could be pointed. I would......

Wouldn't you play better and with much less tension if you were being cheered?
