We're all on the ride together. We can be pessimistic or optimistic. At the end of the journey we all arrive at the same place. The only difference is that some will have enjoyed the ride while others will have complained the whole way.
There has been a rumour for some time that Bellingham has a clause in his contract that his cost drops dramatically in January 2023, will be interesting to see if it is true.
This is a wonderful statement, very true. I love a moan at times, but I've never understood the constant berating the team or certain players get. Well unless it's milner.
We all react to things along the way. A little moan here and there even the occasional full on rant - all totally understandable. I just don't get the defeatist attitude so early on.
I'm with you. Season over? Why because we arnt challenging for the prem, we arnt going yo win the European Cup? How entitled is it to think your season is over because you're not going to be champions
I get frustrated by poor performances and feel down over bad results - for a few hours. By the next day I'm usually over it and looking forward to the next game, always expecting it to be an improvement. I honestly don't understand how people can so avidly follow something that makes them miserable or angry all the time. Lots of things in life make me feel like that, but football is meant to be a release from that.
Just talking about the past couple of years, like lots of people, I've looked to football to lift me out of the miserable landscape we're in so it's taken on a much more significant role in how I feel day to day than it should probably because my days aren't so busy anymore. I will even admit to a poor result causing me to replay the mistakes over and over in my mind as I try to get to sleep. Something that's never happened before. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that we all feel the same way about poor performances and the clear lack of effort we've watched in some games so far. Those of us who are staying positive aren't immune to the disappointment. It's how you handle it that makes the difference. Shankly said "if you can't support us when we lose or draw, don't support us when we win." As I said earlier, if you're getting on for the ride, you might as well try and enjoy it.
I love it when people give it large and then those very people lose their heads when we go out of competitions and are even more scathing about it than the people they hammer for daring to call it like they see it. Only hard work will get our team out of this ****. They ain't right and burying heads in sand won't change that.
So you admit thst inevitably, no matter who hard the team tries one way or another some folk will lose their heads at a loss in a cup etc. These folk can sometimes be the ones telling others they are "negative" Funnily I find the "pessimists" usually take a loss far better
