Just looked on the Saracens fans forum and a post has called us Tigers to Tabbies, sums us up.
How the mighty have fallen.

At least when we were Tigers and winning things we didn't have to cheat the salary cap to do it. So what sums Sarries up. How about "salary cap cheats to.....er salary cap cheats"?

Well worth reading.

Criticised us for having a go at referees? Very one-eyed, that’s literally all Farrell does sometimes.

Not a million miles away from the game I saw on Sunday I am afraid to say

Well worth reading.

A decent summary I’d say, but is it telling us something we didn’t know ? Nope. If the author bothered to do some research, they’d find that Tigers have accepted that we’re not good enough and that things need to change and we don’t think we’ve got the right to finish in the Top 4 every season. It’s the media that still say “fortress Welford Road”, no Tigers fan uses that anymore, sadly. It’s a long way back to the top, Saracens should know that, given their slow rise from Watford to European Champions. The fact though is that we’ve been there and are trying to get back.

So what have Saracens given us now they’re at the top of the tree ? Firstly, a hatred across rugby for their alleged financial anomalies relating to the salary cap. Then there’s the style of play....kick...kick...then kick some more. The Wolfpack thing. Amateur jolly boys outings to boost squad togetherness. A soulless stadium that nobody can get to easily unless you live in Barnet. The shouty mentality that if you win a turnover, you celebrate it by shouting, whooping and everyone gets involved. Oh, and the fez.

Yes we’ve got problems. Saracens are a very good team and they have played some decent rugby at times. They won’t and don’t care what is said about them. These things come in cycles. We will be back. Maybe not next year, certainly not this year but we will be back, I just hope I’m still around to see it.

Its easy to criticise when your on top.
Tabbies does sum us up at present but beware the wounded animal.
In our pomp did not hear teams other than Bath and Saints getting a little banter - but slagging off does not become a Champion team.
Dignity for the sport please.

Who cares what others think of us?!

People are enjoying seeing us underperform as we are the biggest club in the country. It would probably be more worrying if people weren’t talking about us.

TigerBoy1880: Please enlighten me as to how we are the biggest club.

End of season table?

Profitability?

Investments in last five years?

Only club to serve curry?

[JP14]

He’ll say it’s attendance.

[Hot_Charlie]

Fan base, infrastructure. Arguably the biggest brand and the greatest potential (if on a financially level playing field).

-Most well known club around the country, UK and one of the biggest around the world
-Most successful history
-Biggest attendance

Performance is irrelevant. Look at Man Utd. They’ve won nothing for a few years but are still the biggest club in the country and one of the biggest in the world.

Not to mention the outstretched arms wiggling your fingers at the kicker like some benzedrine snake charmer!
