There's very few people on here that are "negative about everything". Most of the so called "realists" are positive when it is appropriate and negative likewise.hadareud wrote:I don't think I have to apologise to think that Tevez isn't as good as people think and that I think that players like Van Persie, Eduardo and even Adebayor are better than him and give more to the team.
To be honest it pisses me off that I'm labelled a rose-tinter for having an opinion that doesn't match that of the "realists" (though I still fail to see how being negative about everything makes you a realist, but there you go).
I actually watched Tevez carefully over the last 3 seasons, and while he's a good player he isn't worth anywhere near 25 million pounds and 130 grand a week. He doesn't have any tactical discipline, his technique is limited, he doesn't score enough goals even when played centrally and he doesn't give enough assists.
People complain about giving 80 grand to van Persie but they'd but they'd be happy to give 130 grand a week to Tevez? Really?
That makes you a realist?
Strange that you are pissed off by a sweeping generalisation yet post one yourself in the same sentence...
I think the reason that many call the more optimistic amongst us "rose tinters" is because you/they are NEVER negative about ANY Arsenal player (even when it is deserved) and thus your/their arguments are viewed as being unbalanced and "rose tinted", whereas even the most "realistic" or pragmatic or even negative poster on here WILL agree when a player has been outstanding or even just plain old good.
Some of the more optimistic posters on here (not pointing the finger at anyone in particular) do remind me of a schoolkid getting very defensive about his club when being slagged off by schoolchums that support other clubs - always the positive spin, always the "my team is better than your team" psyche...
