doom and gloom merchants are looking at the bigger picture, that's why they're doom and gloom merchants. what are fans supposed to do? not talk realistically about the games in a bar after the game, giving their own truthful impressions about how things went just in case someone who goes now and then or not all may or may not go to the next game on overhearing what thosse fans are discussing? i don't buy the ee [it's sub-sun standard] but a guy at work keeps showing me the player ratings that charlie allan gives and i often have to wonder if he was at the game, we can be fuckin shite yet each player usually gets no less than a 6, from what i have read from charlie allan he demolishes [or thinks he does] the fans far more than he demolishes the team
