Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

You'll have a hard time finding anyone. Pessimist or optimist there.

 

Jaffa is the most optimistic Orange

 

I never blamed Coutinho or Torres. Think fans are harsh on them. Owen I didn't blame the first time but after Newcastle and Manchester I tend to agree he's a bastard.

Players I disliked while with us? Diouf mentioned on another thread. He stands out. Voronin irked me with some of his comments... And what was the name of the French reserve keeper we had who was cutting up during the Hillsborough observation... Minds gone blank.

Harry Kewell's attitude and diving bugged me.

 

So an argumentative batard then

 

Sounds right...


.... I mean... No you're wrong.

 

Harry Kewell thought he was the dog's bollocks - he was half right.

 

French but played for Cameroon... Charles Itandje

That's the guy

 

But surely that’s not a prediction
Yes of course we are capable of winning every game but to suggest we are going to is not realistic
You have to take in into account
Wind Direction
Jinxability
Brown Envelope Direction
Supporters Noise Levels
Comfort of bog roll that morning
Player Parties
Any prior Boom boom
Loads of stuff
Then you can try to predict the outcome
Otherwise it’s not a prediction

 

I enjoy reading your comments especially around matchdays.

 

I've not seen any pessimism from you. You're always up for a laugh and that signals optimism.

 

You’re not going through everyone here are you JB
I am normally more upbeat after a defeat than most on here tbf

 

Btw Bumps and Jaffa - I like you just the way you are, adds a nice counterbalance.

 

I said any game, not every game.
Of course I don't expect us to win every game, but we are capable of winning any, and we only deal with one game at a time - so in the build-up to each one I'm looking forward to the win.
I'm not trying to be personal, but I don't see the point in fearing the worst all the time from a team that wins far more games than it doesn't.
I'm much more apprehensive, and cynical, over things like politics, say, because experience leads me to expect the worst from that area of life - but constantly worrying about football seems to me to be a thorough waste of time.

 

Don't tar me with that brush

 

You are right

 

I'm grumpy when we lose, but it doesn't happen that often and I don't take it as a personal affront. I accept that it happens, and I'm over it pretty quickly and looking forward to the next game most of the time.

 

This.
