Why don't you just please, please go away, you are poisoning this site. Most of the people who use & post on this site are painfully aware of our shortcomings, trying to survive in the Championship with a pitiful budget compared to most ex premier league sides that found themselves in the Championship with their rich benefactors & parachute payments etc but what we do not need is you Sir trying to get a rise out of us loyal & faithful fans who in the main live in hope rather than expectation, especially in the division we are in.
I can't speak for all MB posters on this site, but the pleasure you get from posting such negativity is outweighed by the distain you get from other posters.
Brad, we had to suffer your anti- Evans bellyaching for 2 and a half seasons. It's ironic that you find my 'predictions" as being negative. I notice that your bellyaching has now extended to Redfearn. I haven't criticised the manager or the team. My only criticism is of Shay Facey. A criticism that you agree with. I see you have a very positive thread titled " that was absolutely abysmal Neil". What a supporter you are. Your spiteful criticism is much more damaging than my "prediction".
I am not rounding on the team. My predictions are scientific based on a very good understanding of the game.
We will lose at Bolton but as I keep saying ( I will highlight it again in capitals just so it sinks in) WE WILL STAY UP, NEIL REDFEARN IS GOING TO BE A GOOD MANAGER AND HE IS TAKING US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Couldn't have said it better myself Brad. There is an alternative message site for this type of stuff he posts and I do wish he would go on there and stay there to peddel his crass rhetoric. I moved onto 'Banter' because of the decency of those who posted and the discussions and opinions were respected and argued in a good manner. While TTB is entitled and welcome to use this site the same as everyone else, I do wish he would use some respect of the standards that are accepted by all an post sensibly. If he wants to post trash of this type there are other places for him to do it. WE should not pander to the lowest common denominator.

Sir;
I am perfectly entitled to criticise both team & individual performances in any game I choose, as I did with yeaterday's debacle but unlike you, I take no pleasure in it. You are revelling in being the "Brian the Blade" of MB & I also didn't feel the need to hide my intense dislike of Mr Evans, our previous manager who despite his success, IMO was a egocentric cancer on my football club. Despite my criticism of Neil & his recent tactics, I firmly believe he is the man to lead us forward in the medium to long term, I also believe he will develop our youth policy, something that was absolutely ignored by the previous management regime.
I feel a bit daft having to explain my current & past views with an individual such as yourself & make no mistake about it, I will not repeat it, or indeed engage in any posts by your not so good self.

If you look at our record against London football clubs it is pretty dire. We lost at home to Fulham, QPR and then Charlton Athletic.
Can anyone see those three clubs being relegated to League One?
My view is that TTB is a little eccentric as if he is a miller he might reasonably be expected to have a little more overall sensitivity. However, he hasn't said anything offensive as such. He should understand others hurt however.
It's probably the case he is both a miller and a significant rationalist. He takes as much pleasure in being right as he does in seeing the millers win. Perhaps more so at times?
I don't mind anything he posts because it's not abusive. I understand the passion others have. Brads expressions are different but they always leave you in no doubt as to his love of the club. That's probably how I see it.
On balance TTB has declared his faith and interest in the club. Does he love the club in a passionate way or in a way most might express?
Ian, I see him as a wind up merchant. He may be a Miller, and as such care enough to see us do well and survive this season as the rest of us, but he seems to relish his own negativity enough to say I told you so.
No law against that, but when we lose, and lose badly like yesterday particularly when we were seemingly upbeat about new players and full of expectation, the last thing we need is one of our own rubbing our noses in it, we're feeling enough hurt, frustration and anxiety as it is.
We all post as much or as little analysis as we feel relevant, I dont post much mainly because I cant get to many games and feel unqualified to pass critical comment other than overall observation and join in the Banter which is enjoyable. He posts nothing other than, I know something you dont know, and I told you so, nothing positive, no viewpoint, just petulant sarcasm with little or no substance, that many find irritating, uncalled for and unnecessary.
You are correct, it is not abusive, thankfully, and I do fully support his right to post and voice an opinion, but he really ought to be more considerate to the way others may feel about his vacuous input.
Does it matter? In the great scheme of things no, in the same way I wont die from a boil on my backside, but it still gives me a pain in the ar5e.
TTB, wind up merchant and bore, but bang on about Brad...far too many supporters are all too willing to slag players/managers far too early, even Evans got it after 3 years of unbridled success, pay your money, support your team, don't be negative, it rubs off on the players...
I don't understand why Brad and a few others get so wound up about the postings of Miller's Banters own Mystic Meg. (Remember her? I thought not). Well that's exactly how it will be with The Third Burglar eventually. No one will remember him. Role on that day.
Variety is the spice of life. As long as mr TTB isn't been abusive then he is entitled to his opinion. Stating the outcome of a game isn't abusive in my eyes. Can he be annoying oh yes but so can Brad, myself and a few others that are disagreeable but how boring would the site be with no banter.
Bolton as I predicted are improving. A 2-2 draw away at Wolves tonight. They will be pumped up for the Millers match now. Bolton are NOT dead and buried.

As per other thread-Agree
Everyone down there is fighting and looks in with a chance of survival at this stage. Difficult to see anyone above bottom 5 as it stands getting sucked in. Its probably a 3 from 4 already. I dont fancy us at the minute but I do think Redfern is capable and the team of having some good runs of results. Bristol and MK dons still look likely to struggle as they havent shown much in terms of form all season. Charlton are too good to go down and with the new manager getting off to such a good start it looks like they will be ok. They have also had some very good results so are clearly capable. The Millers have shown they can turn in very professional performances too. Its going to remain tight all season. OH Boy!
