Pub team (Avin a laugh)

[Nudga]

Can't stand this phrase and I'm seeing it a lot lately.
We're better than that now, we're bigger than that now (quite evidently)

Think bigger and time to lose the loser tag.

What’s a looser tag ? Reckon a belt my fix that

Wasn’t the pub team phrase adopted after Leeds fans called us that?
I don’t see it as derogatory that we adopt it and occasionally sing it, more of a response to those that gave us the name.

It was before then, think it was 03/04. Not sure who called it us first, might have been hull.
It was great back then, because we sort of were, we had a dilapidated ground with conference players and were taking the piss.

But now I totally agree with the OP, it needs to be dropped, has zero relevance now, and it's a bit cringey.
Were far better than that now.

Same goes for TLOD unless were in the championship,  just self deprecating defeatist bullshit.

I think it was before the Oxford game at homein the 2003/4 season

It was after that match that TLOD was coined.

One of their forums had a post saying they really shouldn't be losing to the likes of Doncaster.

I can remember those ding dong games we had with Plymouth in the League Two 2016/17 season. I went on their forum, and one poster described us as a non-league club punching above our weight, with average gates of 2000. Unbelievable.

It's just what we get. If our miraculous turnaround this season had happened to a Premier League or Championship club, the pundits would never had stopped talking about it. Because it's us, it was barely mentioned.
