The negativity is one thing, but proper needless toxicity following a hard-fought win from the jaws of defeat? N-O at its worst. It's incredible, right? How can you watch what we were treated to on Saturday and not feel in love?! I don't get it. I was there and it's automatically one of the best experiences I've had as a sports fan at a match in person. I also don't get how you can watch it and think we're in as dire a scenario as some set out: if we scored 6 west Ham couldn't have complained. It's like deliberate avoidance of observable reality to suit a viewpoint which makes you literally feel worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Post match, it seems like there's been more talk about people criticising Howe and the game than there has been people actually criticising Howe and the game? Main thing I've noticed is the absence of happy people rather than an unusual number of critical people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negativity is one thing, but proper needless toxicity following a hard-fought win from the jaws of defeat? N-O at its worst. If I couldn't enjoy my team coming back from two goals down with a ninetieth minute winner, I'd probably question whether football is the choice of entertainment for me. It's one of the best sporting highs going. Yes a performance riddled with defensive frailties and new injury concerns, but a win and fantastically entertaining spectacle.

ShootShoot Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Reminded of Thatcher outside Downing St being questionned about the Belgrano getting torpedoed - " Just Rejoice " Its not wrong to focus on an ongoing problem in the shape of the defence as opposed to trying to ignore it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The takeover was always going to bring with it an element of fanbase with limited football knowledge wanting instant success. Nothing wrong with criticism when it’s due but to have a constant agenda of looking for negatives to build a case for replacing Howe just stinks. Have any of our resident naysayers ever put a viable replacement forward? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) We didn't learn anything particularly new though. We have the same defensive frailties and mitigation in the shape of an increasing pile up of absentees. Edited April 1 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I don't think there's a better alternative right now than Eddie but christ let's not pretend he's perfect.
