Plenty of dispute! Big ass thought pattern

Recommended Posts

I''m gonna do a Springer final thought...

So most posts / threads these days here always seem to bring up disagreements between fans of the same team. It is quite funny how some people here rate Etuhu and others absolutely do not, or how some are firmly backing Grant, others are not. I find it also amusing that fans of the same team have such differences of opinion here over the basics such as formation, and team selection. Are we all watching the same team? Clearly, some are more influenced by media than others. How many here read an article posted on Sky Sports for example, and have their thoughts dramatically changed as a result? Even though you''re going by third party opinion? If we all listened to just one media stream, would we all think alike? Of course, most opinions here are direct spews from 3rd party, and one or two posters are certainly enjoying pink''un celeb status with consistant negativity, potentially this being a self gratifying thing on the ego front?

So, why do we currently have such extremes for postings in the forums right now? Is it a case of "glass half full" or "half empty"?

I personally sit in the "half full" category, and while most of us share extreme thoughts about the current situation, why can''t we just get behind our fantastic club together as a unit, and really encourage those that are struggle, as well as celebrate those that are doing great. Especially with the squad age being as low as it is!

Give the likes of Brown a chance, we''re talking about humans here who have moved away from family, normality and in some cases there is a settling in period required. I honestly believe Etuhu is a good player, but he''s also confidence driven, therefore its in our best interest to encourage him, i think u''ll find it''ll boost his performances dramatically!

Nope.... Pretending everything is rosey in the garden doesn''t prevent the club from declining...whereas confronting the issues might.

It''s a bit like wearing your balaclava back to front.  It might help you feel warm and cosy...but you can never see where you are going.

Why would you think it funny or amusing that people disagree?  There are many reasons why we have failed as a club, many, and debating those and trying to make sense of them is a key part of this forum, and debates with your mates in the pub.  I see no part of the current divide in the fans and the underperformance of the club as a laugh.

Yes we are all watching the same team, however, some people think Brown, your reference, should be given a chance.  From where I am standing he had a chance at Sunderland and blew it because he acted like a moron, got shipped out for a fee well above what we should have payed for a fringe player at Sunderland.  In his games for his new club he has not had significant pace, killer instinct, cleverness of passing or movement, leadership qualities, strength, or indeed anything else that anyone could put their hand up and say ''he is great at....''.  He is at best an average squad player.  My fear is that people who say ''give him a chance'' either cannot, or will not see the reality of what their eyes see every single game, which leads to the situation we are in of being a nicey-nicey give everyone a ticky bun type of club.

For the same reason that some people vote for the Socialist Workers Party while others vote for the BNP.

We all see the world in a different light and we all see different solutions to its problems.

Nothing very strange about that, it''s what makes life (and this Forum) so interesting.
