do you want your team to win, or do you want to be entertained?

Poll to follow

are you happy if your team entertains but loses, or is winning all that counts? what would you prefer, to be entertained, and see your team lose, or see the sneak a dull match 1-0 at the end, and win the cup?

At the moment they entertain and win - the two aren't mutually exclusive . A great team should have a good balance of good football but the ability to gring out a result if it's needed !

true, that's the ideal, to be entertaining and win, but if they are entertaining and lose, would you have preferred that they grind out a result?

If they ground out a result every week I wouldn't be happy , similarly if they played well and lost every week I wouldn't be happy either . A mix of both - it's the only answer !

but what if they got promoted by grinding out the results?

but what if they got promoted by grinding out the results?

Then I'd expect them to go straight back down again

in an entertaining way?

I don't think you can win without effort very often so therefore I don't mind if we lose and entertain and have tried hard, but if we lose because of silly showboating and a desire to beat 10 men and score from thirty yards, or trying to ping the ball round without actually looking, then I'm angry.

Always take the win - although, what did me in about Colin Hendry was that we were incapable of winning or entertaining.

A home win would be nice.. We can win away from home, but have not won at home since boxing day. Not good enough & cannot see us reaching the play-offs. Very pissed off on Saturday.

 

[marty21]

it seems most of us want our team to win, which makes perfect sense to me

i don't really support a football team. Im a bit of a gooner, but i'd rather the best team won.

 

[Onket]

Of course we must win!!

Especially at the moment as it looks like we may be going down.

Following arsenal in the last few years meant you didn't have to make the choice. Both were happening, entertainment and wins.

But i prefer them being fifth than abandoning their style of play to grind out wins.

 

[SonOfGoatboy]

Celtic must win. Though it's good to see your guys put on a show and then lose but no more than once a season. Never if we're not at least 8 points up.
I'm just happy if no one in the Scotland squad pees themself on the pitch; entertainment can come after.

 

[chieftain]

both!

I'm a west ham fan. tis all bout the entertainmeant.
