Well no, it's lazy to just say the other person is wrong. That isn't debate.
I'm not saying I never post windups but I haven't in this thread, I've just said what I think.

If we signed this M'Vila guy (who is supposedly skilled enough to play a defensive role and contribute going forward) I doubt anyone would quibble with Arteta dropping out. But, end of the day, 99% of teams would miss Wilshere.

I remember having a similar debate with you where you shrugged off a similar result but when we all looked back over the course of the season, it was that particular result that sent our season into a downward spiral. I think it was a few seasons ago where we beat Chelsea and then dropped points against Wigan because Wenger made 9 changes to the first team or something like that.7 wins in a row doesn't fix what people have seen over the last 6/7 years and the worrying trend we often see. You've been wrong for a long time about the squad and you always come up with this sort of reaction. It's pretty typical and there is probably no point in calling you out on it anymore because you're not getting it.
That's why I'm saying you've been wrong on many occasions about the consequences of results and you shouldn't be so quick to poke fun at people's reactions. We're not the sort of team that bounces back from defeat so easily, it's been proven over the past few years but you act as if certain posters have no legitimate reason to react in such a way. I would have thought after all these years of watching us play, you'd have started to see other posters point of view.
What was your reaction when Gallas had his sulk on the pitch when we drew to Birmingham? Did you brush it off like you're doing now and poke fun at posters who were pissed off? Say it was 'knee jerk' along with the usual 'doom and gloom' merchant comments? I can't remember that far back, just guessing, but if you reacted in the same way you are now, wouldn't that make your initial reaction and judgement wrong? You do it a lot after match threads. Nothing wrong with being optimistic but you take it to the point where you start to ridicule other posters when you're in no position to.

Dominating these hoes.

Some of the reactions to a defeat after 7 straight wins are kneejerk IMO and way over the top.
I agree it might be the start of a bad run but we'll see and if so then I'll join in with the sulkathon on here as loud as anyone but we're just not going to win every single game. We slipped up. All teams slip up. Some of the comments on this thread are huge over-reactions. If the result had come as part of a generally bad run then fair enough but after the run we'd had they were ridiculous, IMO.
I just don't understand why people's reactions and opinions on here have to be so extreme. Yes, football is an emotional game but some sense of perspective is needed.
It's only one or two posters and it's not that extreme considering the season/seasons we've had. Plus, is it really neccessary to try and wind them up and get other posters in on the act as well?
I wasn't trying to wind anyone up. I thought the reactions were over the top and I said so
I've enjoyed this season. Not all of it, there have been some rubbish times but some very good ones too. It's the bad times which make you appreciate the good. The recent run has given me hope for the future and one slip up isn't going to dampen that. Another slump and I'll probably be a bit depressed by it all again. At times this year I've wondered why I waste my time and money going to games, at other times I've remembered exactly why I go to games - The AC Milan game, the Newcastle one. There are a few signs that the players care more and the club is heading in the right direction. We'll see.
That is exactly the point LETTERS, You say youve enjoyed this season. Thats your perogative. Some would say that it is just a continuum of the mediocrity which represents our self imposed glass ceiling now. No one except you calls other peoples reactions "kneejerk" and throwing toys out of the pram. It is uneccessary baiting and reduces the level of discussion to name calling. We are a club that no longer wins things and seem not to care either. Some people simply wish it wasnt so.
cool lol.Nah just saying LDG is a good poster as well.. not bringing him into anything. This is not a brawl
