It seems it was your good self who would rather win the LLS again than get to Old Trafford. Seriously, would you rather finish top and go out in the same manner as last year or come third, get to the GF and have a chance of winning the damn thing? Personally, i don't think we handle the pressure of the play-offs very well, especially with senior players knowing their careers are almost done. Finising top this year will just heap even more pressure on us to win it. Third or fourth will do me just fine.

| Quote: The Yellow Giraffe "I am finding it difficult to decide whether you are thick, stubborn, biased or a very good wind-up merchant. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say I'm guessing you are probably a mixture of the latter 3.
Now, 99% of the Warrington fans on here understand what the song meant and can see it as a humorous bit of banter. See Horatio Yed for example. He found it funny. You on the other hand have spectacularly spat your dummy out due the fact you lost, and by trying to dissect the song and ask for some sort of meaning, you are making yourself look very very silly.
However, to remove any doubt or confusion you may have, I will answer your question in a clear and simple way for you.
For the last few years, around January/February, certain sections of the media, and certain Warrington fans, claim that that particular year will be Warrington's year, in terms of being Champions. Not wining the cup, not finishing top, but winning the grand final and being champions. So that is what the line "its always your year" refers to. You still with me? Now, seeing as you are yet to win a grand final and be crowned Super League champions, the line "just like the last one" is a sarcastic reference to the fact that it has not yet been your year.
There is no reference to our own failings in recent Grand Finals, so your insistence on bringing this up is somewhat baffling.
I am fairly certain that even if you are a little bit thick, which I optimistically predicted you aren't in my opening sentence, then you will still be able to understand all of the above and you can now get on with the rest of your weekend a little happier.
I'm just glad that Warrington have fans who have a sense of humour and can take the song in question as a bit of banter, which I'm sure was the manner in which it was intended.'"
You haven't really added anything new. But, you have clarified slightly.
The point is I don't know who Saints fans are directing it towards- Sky or Warrington fans? You mention both. You should really pick one.
The second point can be summed up with 'those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. Imagine if Wakefield or Widnes (no offense) started singing that song at us. It would be laughable. Now on a smaller scale, Saints (who are most famous of late for losing Grand finals) are mocking us for not winning one when we have only been in the playoffs 3 times. Plus, most Warrignton fans are very aware of other team's capabilities or over estimate them (as I said I thought Saints would be top this year and last)
But, although you didn't use 4 words, you have cleared it up. It is about winning grand finals, correct? Okay. You do Know for that last half decade both Warrington and Saints have won the same number of Grand Finals, right?
This has been cleared up, slightly! Good luck next week. I think you might ebat Wigan who have looked as bad as Warrington this season.

To reminisce the reaction of the St Helens fans in the West Stand on Friday night, who were 'as quiet as a mouse', hence why the majority of the people I saw on Saturday could barely speak..

Could you quote me on that because that is the opposite of what I have been saying.
I will reiterate what I have said previously in bullet point form.
I enjoyed winning the LLS last year
I think it validated the efforts of the team and the fans
It is hard to get
I would rather win the CC next year than finish top
I would rather finish 2nd or 3rd to, hopefully, relieve the burden of club call (which killed us last year)
The season starts in September.

I think I know why I couldn't hear you as loud as I have heard others. IT may be that there were Warrington fans in the stand too. Or that you just weren't exceptionally loud.

Or maybe due to the steam coming out of your ears after hearing 'It's always your year'?

| Ideally 2nd, all home games, no club call.
JD you seem uptight mate, is it that little pokey room you couldn't swing a cat in?

Sorry mate but you're making yourself look daft. To say we were quiet is nothing short of ridiculous. Have you watched the game again on Sky since Friday? I watched it this morning and the Saints fans could be heard very loudly and very regularly throughout the game.
Some people need to learn to lose with a bit of dignity I'm afraid.

| In short, cos I'm getting fed up of this going round in circles, it's am alternative version of the year of the wolf PIss takes we've had on here since we started making big money signings. Which crop up everytime xe have a bad result.
It really is that simple.
And on that note
