You haven't gone far enough. Being a Spurs fan used to mean our fan based was different than most clubs.I agree someone's opinion is fine positive or negative. That's not all it is from certain posters now though. Knee jerk reactions have always been there, however there have been a number of posts lately expressing things like "player x should just fuck off and die" for instance, this is not OK.
I mean the knee jerk reactions are far worse than they've ever been before though. One good game and we are gunning for that top four slot. One defeat and all the players need sold and "Conte is clearly shit". Doesn't matter that balanced posters take the time to find stats explaining how long it took Klopp etc to produce what he's doing now and what their early form was like getting there. Noooo. We are far too impatient for that. We need to be winning every game now, because 4th is there for the taking...... Here's the thing, just because other teams aren't at their best, they still had a better starting point than we did. It's a process, and it'll take time. I told you all this when Conte came in and despite Conte saying it every week, some still think it should be happening now.
It's not just the match thread for me though it's deeper than that. Certain posters that are pretty much running an Enic hate campaign, posting the same shit in numerous threads over and over again. I mean it's monotonous to see it in the ENIC thread on repeat, but it's also the same shit in multiple other threads now, and certainly in the matchday threads whenever we lose. It's pretty much rabble rousing imo, trying to gain traction and support from those already in a negative frame of mind.
I'm sure the few posters I am talking about(and they very much know who they are) will tell you that Enic are the reason we are in this position so it's absolutely fair game for them to basically copy and paste their negativity towards them into the match threads, the where will we finish thread, the Antonio Conte thread, the FP thread, numerous player threads and the in and out wish list thread, etc etc. I don't agree with all they are blaming Enic for but some of it is very valid, it's just not for every thread, and their seems to be a couple more posters doing similar with every loss.
All in all I'm fine with the match thread knee jerkers, and the FFS posts, because that's football be it on here or on the terraces. The wishing players ill, and trying to turn it(and other threads) into an anti Enic/player xyz rally is why I'm out.
I know I've gone OT a bit there but it's all linked imo because once the game is over it all spills out into every other thread in Spurs chat.
