Or, alternatively, they’re professionals who:
are all on an obscene amount of money,
get on well with the subject of your ire,
don’t resort to being a child.
But then that’s the extremes of our fanbase in a nutshell - throw your toys out the minute it looks like someone (on our team no less) isn’t universally hated.
Did you pore through the podcast/article to find the one thing to be negative about in contrast to everything else positive?
I’m still 90% convinced that he said that so he can have a soundbite later in the year going ‘I thought Arsenal were showing the right promise but they’ve show they’ll let you down’.
It’s always interesting to see the narrative flip.
City grind out a result when they look off pace and it’s the sign of experienced champions. Arsenal grind out a result when they look off pace and it’s ‘bullshit luck’.
I particularly enjoy their issue with us scoring late goals. As if it didn’t take a 96th minute Matip OG to beat 9-man Liverpool or a 99th minute record-breakingly late goal to beat Sheffield United…
You sure told me.
Warra winning mentality.
I just don’t get what is to be gained as a supporter from pointing out ‘blatant mediocrity’. And that’s without querying what your standards of mediocrity are.
We’re off the back of a title challenging season, very clearly in the midst of another one, one of our new players hasn’t hit the ground running as much as we’d like, and there is a decent portion of our ‘fanbase’ who can’t leave the topic alone, and show zero signs of wanting to support him.
You choose to follow the game and who to support, you acknowledge as a competitive sport that there are going to be highs and lows, and yet the only burning topic some people can come up with is how disappointed they are? Choose another bloody hobby.
And anyone who says ‘I want him to succeed I’m just tired of this’ or anything to that effect is being completely disingenuous. To look at how we’re playing now compared to the VERY recent past and acting like we’re not being spoilt is frankly bizarre.
OK, so not Premier League so expecting this post to get removed fairly soon but in the meantime I’ll bite.
What is the best national team we’ve beaten on our tournament runs? I DARE you to say the worst Germany in decades.
There are players in this team who have no right to be anywhere near the squad given the number of exciting players coming through. Meaning that when Euro 2024 comes around we’ll be stuck with the same dross and the players who deserve to be there are nowhere near the setup, and sycophantic Southgate suckers will be saying ‘hurr but they don’t have the international experience’. You know why that is? Because your ‘so successful’ manager decided to give 180 minutes to fucking Maguire in DEAD RUBBER games.
Respect him, sure, but he is wasting a seriously exciting generation of England players and we look rotten.
Walker is allergic to passing to Saka.
He’d much rather switch the ball to Rashford who has been absolutely wank.
Pasta Cock Glue
It should be a prerequisite that if you host the men’s World Cup, you should also be able to host the women’s without any concerns over them being treated as second-class citizens.
But there’s no money in that, so let’s arbitrarily stunt the progress of the women’s game.
To add to this, I’ve made this point before but I think it bears repeating;
Compared to the same (or equivalent in the case of Sheff Utd) we’re actually doing the same as last season but despite a couple of wins becoming draws we’ve also turned a couple of losses into wins.
Becoming more difficult to beat is huge for us particularly when it comes to the crunch near the end of the season.
So to confirm, we have the same number of points as the league leaders, we’ve played more of the ‘big 6’ than any other team, we’ve been unbeaten in the league (in the same 9 games we picked up 2 defeats in last season), we haven’t played any of the promoted sides, but this equates to ‘genuinely awful’.
I know we live in an age where we have to take optics over stats, but putting subjective opinion down as fact is how you get mental takes like this.
With all due respect there’s very little setting your comment as a joke compared to the countless comments a day shitting on him with no sense of humour.
