I dont know how this comes about but there have always been more negative comments about the team than positive ones.
We are the bunch of supporters who sell our players short most. I admit I did that to Crouch but the overall picture is absolutely appalling.
From round 15 to the qualifying final: We won all, except losing twice, both to a good team at their homeground.
Yet, there are (37+25+54+34+32+41+14+35)=272 posts in the positive threads and
(68+40+47+36+76+23+20+40)=350 posts in the negative threads. Take out the data from the two losing games, number of positive posts is still less than the negative ones.
It is clear that we prefer to discuss negative side of the team performance than the positive. Is this some way of supporting the team .
