The point - and this is the vital part - is that, while being conscious of this, there's absolutely no need whatsoever to bring it up and talk about it. It just represents a pessimistic, deafeatist, loser attitude. Let me tell you this, you self-proclaimed 'realists' may think you have it nailed with your attitude, but i can guarantee you that if the lads that pull on the Red shirt and walk out on that pitch had the same attitude and train of thought as you do, our club would be doomed to failure forever. It's a poor character trait, to be honest.
Surely a worst character trait is that demonstrated by those who have so much belief (I call it naievity) that they wrongly believe we will easily win the league this upcoming season for the first time in 21 years despite the fact the oppoisition is likely to be stronger than ever and that we've failed with stronger squads in the past (rafa's team of 2008-09 for example)
it suggests that they lack the intelligence to judge things objectively, look at what's happened in the past, and always end up with their tail between their legs come the end of the season - only to say exactly the same thing a month later when the new season starts - and still get taken seriously by the schoolboys looking for something to do during their summer holidays
With shamelessly vocal supporters like this it's no wonder we're the laughing stocks of the Premier League
And besides i don't really see what you are getting at - I believe we have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions league which shoukd be gfood enough to eensite suarez's retention in the short term
What i take issue with is all those who say we can win the league and think that all Kenny has to do is click his fingers and any top player will come to the club when the examples of Torres, Mascherano and even the repulsive Benayoun suggest otherwise
