Dean Smith - Confirmed

[paul_e]

I think the bigger problem is that once the pessimism kicks in EVERYTHING is shit, Mings isn't worth £15m, we'll be lucky if get £50m for Jack and he's not that good anyway, Luiz is playing well so he'll definitely leave to go back to Man City, Smith just got lucky last season, Purslow is shit and should be sacked, etc etc.

No one is claiming things are great but it's also clearly not true that everything is terrible, it's doesn't have to be one or the other.

Just a touch of exaggeration there

What's the exaggeration? Are any of the examples I've given not things that have been said on this forum in the last week?

If they're not all coming from the same individual then the point is moot. I haven't seen anyone maintain all of what you've mentioned above. You can't just pick at disparate negative posts from people you don't agree with, cobble them all together, and say "Look! Ent it hysterical?"

Of course I can, as Drummond says, if all of these things were as bad as they're individually claimed to be then we'd be in a far worse position than we are. All of it shows that people are flailing around looking for something to blame when the reality is a combination of a number of things being not quite right.

Precisely. It the hyperbole that kills you. Something is not right so lets burn everything. It's the kind of thinking that gets us Brexit.

Is anyone saying that though?  Seems to me the reaction this season is either sack Dean or sack Suso or do nothing.  Everyone would agree we need to buy and sell a few players.  Our performances have been so poor that something has to change.

That post is perfectly reasonable though, many others aren't.

You responded to my assertion before that we can stay up with the suggestion that I drink or take some drugs every morning, to vomit my opinion on here because its more optimistic than your own. Hysterical is the right word.

Haha, oh dear, you wouldn't know irony if was your own tongue in your own cheek, would you? I was clearly riffing on your "glass is hall full" outlook, but evidently it doesn't take much to offend you. Go have a lie down or get some fresh air, give yourself a wee break from playing the contrarian every time somebody dares to criticise the club.

Irony? Riffing? You were just being a berk. I'm not a contrarian, I just find it odd that me not being convinced we're going down elicits your sniping. Which is odd given the tone you've taken in this argument with Paul.

It takes plenty to offend me, have a look at the politics thread. But then if I may return fire, you did leave the site in a huff because people were criticising Reo-Coker, so...*shrugs*

It looks quite pretty if you close one eye, turn your phone on its side and eat a pickled onion, though.
