That's the way everything is on twitter it seems. One of the many reasons I'm not on it
For the most part I love twitter - and social media more broadly - and everything it stands for. It's influence on worldwide communication, news consumption, setting agendas, gathering opinions etc has been so thoroughly groundbreaking and represented a fundamental shift in the way different parts of your community, country and the entire world relate to each other.

But, yeah, for all the good it has done, and for everything it represents, as a massive communication system that involves hundreds of millions of people it's always going to attract its fair share of fuckwits. Too many people don't realise that despite their wages and their privileged, almost esteemed, place in society, footballers are actually human beings as well and just as susceptible to online harassment and abuse as anyone else.

Also, it completely undermines what it means to be a 'fan' or 'supporter.' I don't particularly rate the guy that highly, but I respect the fact that every time he pulls on the shirt he works his socks off. Unless anyone actively does anything to disrespect the club or the fans then they all deserve our support.

You're not just disagreeing with me though (I know sweet fa btw), you're disagreeing with a very qualified coach.
You have absolutely no idea why Poch is playing him, you're just presuming to suit your bias.
This!

Nah. The reason for my spam ratings are because you're derailing the thread with your nonsense that has nothing to do with Sissoko. Simple as.
It was one response to one person. You're easily detailed. I don't think the thread suddenly changed to talking about US politics.

Sissoko isn't being scapegoated. He simply isn't better than what he is. That's not scapegoating, but just the way it is.
It is, because people only write negative things about him and at best damn him with faint praise when he does anything good. Just because some pinheads don't think that he's good doesn't mean that it is a fact written in stone.

Feels like one of those threads where people believe if we reach 100 pages it will def happen

That is not true though. People go on and on and on about how good he is this season and how he has improved and how he is such a good squad player to have and all kinds of stuff. And it is a fact, he simply isn't all that good.

The sissoko thread after the West Ham game was fucking toxic for a player who plays for us, has never disrespected us and who always works hard.

He was bad but it wasn't his fault we didn't win, so for everyone to target their inability to deal with things not going their way at him was scapegoating
