I said this to my mate at the end of last nights game.Could blame it on the gypsy curse put on the Ricoh,but we've been cursed well before the Ricoh was built.Something must be in our D.N.A.as we just can't seem to move forward only backwards.

we just need to be a bit smarter.

think outside the box, lets sack someone when the are doing well !!!

Normally, we start ok, drop off, then get a manager who does well at the end of a season

Next season, kept TM until xmas, get rid and then new manager syndrome takes us to Championship

A Bradford fan tweeted me a couple of days ago asking me what's gone wrong with my team,as we were flying etc ? I said we lost key defenders and haven't replaced like for like.
What I should have said is we are crap and got found out !

Cursed my arse. You shouldn't believe in superstition's. It gives you bad luck. It's nothing an exorcism couldn't sort out.

BBC says 'outside the UK'
Did a curse cause us not to have a designated penalty-taker? Did a curse cause us to re-sign Reda? Did a curse cause us to sell our best players? Did a curse cause Mowbray to keep picking Fortune when Tudgay is so much better? No it's not a curse, it's poor planning, lack of preparation, atrocious decision-making and ineffective, inflexible tactics.

No, but a curse makes Jacob Murphy shoot like a girl and Henderson fall over when through on goal.

A curse commands that Sam Ricketts be picked each week, otherwise darkness and suffering shalt be inflicted upon the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights.

A curse condemns Tony Mowbray to endure the face of a Chuckle Brother for eternity and a day.

A curse compels that though thou shalt shoot 27 times and control a game in a cup of tin pottedness, the opposition (Crewe) will score upon every breakaway.

A curse tricks you, so you sign a top, seasoned, experienced, first class defender, who in fact then turns out to be Peter Ramage.

A curse tricks you at every turn my friend. :(

Coincidentally, I to have a mate in Aus who is a Bradford fan. He said the same thing to me, and the excuse I gave was that our team was made up of loans who were always away on Intnl duty.

On a serious note... Apparently, when the Council compulsorily bought the ground the Ricoh is built on from Gypsies, they cursed the Football Club.

It's that Leicester shirt buried under the centre circle.
