Fans react to Noble’s “why support us” comment
Mark Noble has spoken out about the team’s attitude to the current slump and how much they care and how much he wants the fans to get right behind the team.
He said: “If you can’t support the team through times like this, why support us at all?”
Here’s how some of ClaretandHugh’s Facebook members reacted to the captain’s remarks:
O Mark Noble has had a pretty poor start to the season as have most of the team, as for the fans we have supported them in serious bad times and we will keep supporting them no matter what.
O Needs to start with the man in the mirror!
O All fair comments. Decent bloke. Team just needs to deliver now. I think too many people believed the MOTD hype last year.
O Totally agree with what Nobes has said. If you take what he has said in the correct context then he is right. He is after-all saying it as a fan too!
O I question where our club would be if some of the ‘new breed’ of fans had been around in the truly bad times! They don’t know the half of it!
O Not necessarily the best comment for some to hear but I do agree with him. The only issue I have is that although we are fans and should support the team, I don’t agree with blind faith in ANY respect.
O Broadly agree with everything he’s said. It comes across as a bit sour grapes though. Support is a two way street though and I can think of plenty of occasions where three thousand of us have spent a day and a fair chunk of our disposable income and gone north and see us get drubbed, it has then been too much trouble for the players to acknowledge our support.
