For the last few weeks this forum has become more and more aggressive and i'm seeing way too many arguments where reasoned debate could be had - sure, we're upset, i get that. Results aren't going our way, the clubs in disarray, but to start turning on each other is, frankly, shite.
Might i suggest that instead of logging in to SC for a while, some of you go make a brew and sit down with a box set of light hearted comedy, or an action series or something, as this is getting worse and i know i'm not the only one getting fed up with seeing the place over-flow with hateful bullshit every time i log in.
The Dawson argument is a particular favorite - so much scope for debate, he basically personified AVBs problems - where's the debate? There is none, because one side rely almost entirely on "He's shite and slow" and... well, that's it. There is a huge list of problems that his situation highlighted yet instead of using it as a constructive platform to talk about the teams frailties, it turned into a pie slinging contest that has divided the community.
The AVB stay/go thing was sort of rolling along at a fair pace then he went and now we've got half the forum claiming mystic-meg like that he should never have gone, we all saw this coming etc.
Myself, i showed a bit of concern about us relying on such an unknown quantity, expecting that if Sherwood took the reigns and managed to luck out a couple of results he might convince Levy to let him run with it until the Summer and i tried to debate it with those who did question my concerns, but it's becoming almost impossible to have a proper discussion on here recently.
F*ck the problems at the club for one day - stay off the keyboard, warrior types - in fact stay away from all football related news, let the dust settle, have a fag and a fap, do some breathing exercises and once the fresh air has had a chance to clear some of the cobwebs-of-concern out come back and lets start discussing the situation and trying to move forward as fellow fans of a club that is having a shit time of it right now. Scapegoats, from Levy and the board to the guys and girls in the turnstyles, aren't needed atm. Positive solidarity is a much more appealing state of affairs and much more constructive, afterall if there's one thing we all have in common - we're all TTWD.
