Why do I know this? Because it’s an immature thing to say. Believing that saying such a thing is ‘wise’ means you are simply another brick in the wall. 😉 But, to throw you a bone, no one should ever ‘accept’ disappointment. Disappointment is nothing more than a symptom of expectations not being met. I’ll leave it there. I wish Cantwell the best as he learns to find his feet in a world that seems too keen to cut him down, by venting their own nonsense and frustrations onto a young man seeking to make something of himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pugin 601 Posted November 4, 2020 It's Todd's Instagram account. It's not supposed to be the Seven Pillars of Wisdom. It's slightly obscene, disturbing, intrusive, and stalker-like for anyone to copy an Insta post and put it on here out of any context in the hope of villifying the young man. What are middle-aged and older men even doing searching for ways of bringing Todd down? Instagram wasn't designed for them, but if they really must read it, then at least respect what it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeymarSmith 130 Posted November 4, 2020 What if we all just get behind Todd again and make him feel the love? It may galvanise him and he could become our talisman much the same as zaha for palace and Grealish for villa. Both those two above have in the past said things in interviews and on socials suggesting they may not forever be at the club, and more often the press have linked their names to other clubs without much coming from it, just like they have with Todd. What if, he is just disappointed to be relegated, that despite his love for Norwich he is gutted to be out the premier League -the highest of the high for his profession? What if he is just a young lad who doesn't know how else to express himself and is just learning on the job? Fact is, whatever way, we are a better team with him so let's get behind him. - to turn this post a touch dark, and put my anti Delia hat on... What if he has seen the players leave that have left, seen the quality of incomings in training and has thought "hmm I'm unsure I like the way things are going around here?" ... Not necessarily my opinion or based on any fact, just a spin is all 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 519 Posted November 5, 2020 This kid needs to get a grip. Can somebody trim his ego a little bit. Potential clubs are going to look at these posts as part of their due diligence and it doesn't exactly shine him in a great light does it. He needs to be getting his head down and working hard. He needs to at least be seen to be positive. Right now, he's just coming across as a sulky brat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,123 Posted November 5, 2020 You lot need to get a grip. He's not doing anything different to many people of his demographic. Do you really give a cr@p what players put on social media? If so, you need to sort yourself out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Way to make up a story there. My turn? How can anyone defend him after he downed tools after not getting his move to the Jupiter All-Stars to play intergalactic zero-g soccer against the best in the universe? It's always just about his wanting to fly in space ships and not the team or the club. You ever hear of any of the other players wanting to go play in outer space? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is when people, who normally wouldn’t dream of following a 22 year old on Instagram, pick over innocent attempts at using his experience as inspiration and motivation for others who he presumably thinks may find it useful, and massively over-interpret what has been said. Especially when they do it on here for ... well, I’m not sure what for, but it looks like attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is he referencing that he was disappointed he wasn’t deemed good enough for a big money offer to come in, and initially, he didn’t “accept” it, but rather “dwelled” on it (it affected his attitude / he ‘downed tools’). And is he now saying that he’s reflected on his actions, acknowledged he handled the situation badly, and is now trying to “build and grow”. Might be wrong, but that’s how it reads to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn’t that a bit like listening to Radio 3 and complaining that they never play any grime? He has a target audience for what he does. If someone outside that intended group wants to read what he posts, they shouldn’t be surprised when it’s not aimed at them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) I will criticise a player if I think their attitude is wrong and I do think he has made mistakes, or misread situations maybe listening too much to the wrong people too in the past, but the rubbish some people are coming out with is just witch hunting. I actually quite like his instagram post and there is nothing "cryptic" about it, after all, "believe and achieve and never stop trying" is a pretty good message.
