Bizarrely (and I think I got this from William the White) back in the Premier League days, BWFC fans were simultaneously the poorest and had the highest proportion of graduates (hmmm...maybe this site echoes both of those stats?)Andy Waller wrote:Your main problem here is that you're assuming intelligence in the crowd.EverSoYouri wrote:Suspect you're right on this...if there is a queue to be heckled at the Macron, Spearing is still somewhere towards the back of it.

Can't see how booing a player motivates him - or his team mates - to play better.)LeverEnd wrote:Well it's not like a bank clerk openly having a brew when there is a massive queue.

Think that was true of our first-ever PL season, 95/96 - not sure if it has been since. Think Wimbledon were second-highest in the graduate list...EverSoYouri wrote:Bizarrely (and I think I got this from William the White) back in the Premier League days, BWFC fans were simultaneously the poorest and had the highest proportion of graduates (hmmm...maybe this site echoes both of those stats?)

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

But I'm earning sufficient to pay someone more gifted in such an area - not pissing and moaning that I have a useless degree and no money.EverSoYouri wrote:This, of course, includes yourself.Bruce Rioja wrote:Yet I can't find anyone to put a wooden floor in for me.

There's no such thing as a useless degree...even if it only makes you a world class pisser and moaner.Bruce Rioja wrote:But I'm earning sufficient to pay someone more gifted in such an area - not pissing and moaning that I have a useless degree and no money.EverSoYouri wrote:This, of course, includes yourself.Bruce Rioja wrote:Yet I can't find anyone to put a wooden floor in for me.
