Was browsing through houston dynamo's facebook page to see what some of their fans thought about the proposed game. It was clear to see that they were not too impressed at all with their appointed opponents. They would 'rather play a championship team. Reading are better'. We are 'by far the worst team in the bpl.' we are 'the soccer anti christs' and amazingly we now have an 'arrogant fanbase' too.
This reputation is going to take some time to shake off isnt it. The media stories are taken in worldwide, so much so that people even make things up about our support and even our league standing.

Who? Seriously Im not with you???? Our pre-season opponents. The point is we now have a reputation spread worldwide, which is going to take a long time to get rid of. |

Reading are better really Not meaning to sound argumentative here but why should I 'get a life'? I understand the 'stuff 'em' mentality but surely having a reputation like the one we have now doesnt help the club to progress and grow. Oh and I apologise for the quadruple post. Not sure how that happened  |

Not sure how that happened It's just the "what others think of us" which grates me the only teams that can truly say this are the ones that continually beat us it's not many teams that can so we really aren't as bad as they think. It's football not gymnastics points aren't gained for back flips and Saltos |

When Wimbledon were in their 'pomp' football wasn't quite so global as it is now.
I'm sure we'll be 'enjoying' this reputation for quite a few years after the man that caused it has fucked off, sooner he goes the better.

I'd rather have the rep we do and be in the Prem than not be in the Prem at all, but really does it matter what they think, if that's how they feel fine, I'm not to fussed, don't know where they've got the "arrogant fanbase" bit from but my reaction to what others say/think about us is always meh.

What is there to make up about our league standing? We are crap, we do play shite football, and they would be better off playing a Championship side. Cant see how the Media can be accused of making that up. I think this season we HAVE been the worst footballing side, certainly for 12 months at least and all clubs fans are arrogant. Try telling a Carlisle fan that Stoke are better than Carlisle...oh wait a minute...  |

Not often I disagree with you mate, but I honestly think that if our next manager (whenever he turns up) plays a totally different brand of football, any reputation our current "style" of "football" has given us will soon be improved. Wimbledon's entire history was built on the "crazy gang" stuff of the 80s. We have a rich heritage that stands for more, and will be much more easily restored - in my opinion. Keep the faith.  |

Should be proud of us whatever we are and as long as stoke get full support every week I'm sure most people don't care what people think about us. |

I really don't give two shits about what fans of Houston Dynamo think about us. I don't particularly give a shit what fans of Houston Dynamo think either. I don't give a shit what fans of any given club think, but overall, when people think of the club I support, I want them to think of Matthews, Banks, Hudson, Chambo, Stein and Fuller, rather than us being the ugliest, dullest, most negative team they can think of. Again though, just my opinion. |

If you're "proud of us whatever we are," that kind of negates the meaning of the word "proud," doesn't it? |

I can understand our footballing reputation, and a lot of it is fair game. No arguments.
I'm struggling to see how we are arrogant. I see Stoke supporters as one of the more grounded supporters in the Premier League. We aren't arrogant because we know we have nothing to be arrogant about!

The only awareness the vast majority of their fans will have of our fans is what they see on the TV, loud, partisan and intimidating, they aren't to know we all actually revert to a cross between Val Doonican and Cliff Richards when we get home  FOF - re post above, do hope you're right! |

I really don't give two shits about what fans of Houston Dynamo think about us. The problem is its not just Houston Dynamo. Since we've gone up people's opinion of us has bombed. For the first couple of seasons I was getting mates saying how impressed they were by our up and at them attitude now I'm getting how awful we are to watch and how all we do is negate and kill games. Sooner or later our reputation will catch up with us and no one managers or players will join us who want to progress in the game. In my opinion we can get rid of our reputation with a clever appointment and we can start moving forward again. If we stay up which we should now, next pre season could be our most important yet and could shape what will happen for years to come. If TP stays I fear the worst. |
