So, I'm a long time reader and very occasional past poster on this forum.
Every year, I notice there are distinct positive/negative camps as to our outlook for the season. There are always those who say we're up shit creek, we need better players, a better manager, this or that better tactic etc etc and then there are those who tell them to calm down, season has just started, there are plenty of positives etc etc.
But THIS year.....!!!! I don't know if it's just me but every thread I read seems to descent into these petty infights between those two aforementioned sets of groups.
I think it's fine for people to moan at Spurs (personally, I think we've been pretty dull since Poch arrived and I do want more) and so I'm also so tired of so many people instantly hitting the wtf button and accusing them of hysteria and of being whinging little turds who don't remember how bad it used to be.
I also think it's fine for people to be optimistic about our chances (personally, I think we've come a long way in ten years and are heading in the right direction; we have a good young squad with potential and are punching at about our weight even if I do want more) and so I'm also so tired of all the people hitting the wtf button and accusing them of being delusional and of being hopeful little turds, unaware of how screwed we are.
It's boring. Stop arguing. Let people have their own opinions. Debate differences of opinion - don't rubbish them. If you really can't bear someone's point then ignore it - not giving it air is more effective than sliding into a sad little slanging match. We're on the same team!!!
I'm not really sure what my point is other than I don't enjoy perusing this site as much as I used to. I'm not even sure if the site has changed that much - maybe I'm just getting older. I'm not even sure why I'm posting this - I think it's because I love Spurs but I'm not sure how this will help them next Saturday.
*Sighs*
