I wouldn't want to overstay that welcome. In my experience, supporters of other teams have a short shelf-life on club-specific forums. After a while, the locals start wondering why they are still there. :)

Well considering that hostility, in everyday speech, is normally used as a synonym for anger and aggression I just can't see where you are coming from. Apart from a possibly circuitous and self-indulgent post #61, since qualified by emphasising that its message doesn't apply to the majority...

I appreciate that. Comments such as yours, and by others like you, are fair enough. It begs the question though as to whether or not any totally negative views should be accepted without question or challenged. Anyway, surely no match thread is complete without an opinion from the other side...

Great thread. Football forums are notoriously ineffective at persuading a side to alter its usual strategy on the field of play, but in this case it seems to have come up trumps. Apparently, at precisely 2.45pm tomorrow Holloway and Moyes will walk onto the pitch accompanied by heralds...
