The vast majority of "realists" on here have been around for a long time. If you hate this place so much, I would guess most people here wouldn't be remotely upset if you didn't post again.
Martin, you had started to make non-board, short comments on other threads and I thought you might have turned a corner, but no. Do you not realise how much you are pissing off some people on here?
In general peeps please remember this place is firstly about having a bit of fun and a laugh. If you think what's posted on here is hugely important and it will make the board sit up and listen or it is responsible for all Arsenal fans getting a reputation, get real!
So it's alright to call wenger, denilson and whoever else a *word censored*, unmoderated, but it's not alright to use the word spastic? Interesting.
Your last paragraph is sort of my point exactly. Football is supposed to be fun and a laugh, yet 80% of the posts are just moangroanwhingemoanmoangroanwhingingmoaning. It's fucking tiresome.
What people say on here and another notable Arsenal forum is clearly feeding the ever-growing "throw a tantrum after EVERY bad result" crowd. If it was limited to just what's written here I wouldn't give a toss, but it influences people who then go and abuse the players on twitter, or ring 6-0-6 to say "wenger out". I then have to go and sit next to these people and people influenced by it week in-week out at games and they ruin it for me and everyone around them with there incessant moaning and grumbling. I also then have to work with them, or fans of other clubs who listen to 6-0-6 and whatever else and are incredulous that there are people who ACTUALLY want Arsene Wenger sacked.
So I do believe it does influence people, and it also influences results ultimately because - like against man city - the crowd gets on the players back. Therefore I feel the need to rally against it with a bit of positivity and genuine perspective, and I don't really feel I should apologise if that upsets people along the way, coz it's sort of the point.
Final word from my mate Loz, a spers ST holder in the park lane end, following post-game radio phone in last night:
"99% of football clubs, especially spurs, don't usually deserve the unified, passionate and committed support they get from their fans. Arsenal are the 1% that are the exact opposite".

Cheers again MK .
