KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum football villains!

You can damage thread by over positivity by boring everyone senseless.

Can you imagine if every thread and every comment was about how well LFC are doing?

7th place anyone statisfied with that has no right to call themselves as Liverpool fan as far as I am concerned. This club was built on success and aiming high and failure was not tolerated

Whatever happened to that ?

Yea controversy is what football is all about!

Hahaha very good cool.

to be honest stanley I am one of those who are satisfied for the simple fact I have accepted mediocrity a while ago. I have seen the Club go from the best 20 odd years ago to this now in what has been a slow painful decline. I have seen poor chairmen, replaced by poor owners, I have seen great players replaced by average to ordinary to very poor in what we have now and I have seen a loyal local fanbase be slowly driven out mostly by prices. So you see for me I really dont see it as the same Club all those years ago, they might aswelll change the name as it shows no resemblence in morals and values. the way I see things now stanley and the way I look at the club now probably has'nt hit you yet, those brave words you mention about not accepting mediocrity are very brave but in all honesty thats all they are, words, you will see the light soon enough mate and accept it like I unfortunately had to.

You're not the Messiah,your a very naughty boy who's only difference from many on here is that we still have some fight left before we wave the white flag.

You may have noticed Mick I am starting to go very odd. I dont want to accept failure but its all around me. Like the engineer on the titanic reaching for the welding gun I hope against hope.

When the hope goes you may as well Mick it in.

lol The life of Mick
But you're right in what you said

yes stanley in some ways the same, the only reasons I continue to go are as a football fan you always have a bit of hope in your heart that it will one day get better, its false hope and you know deep down it will never happen but you still hope, the other thing is football has been such a big thing in my life so if I was to stop going I would have to try and replace it with something and up to now theres nothing, catch 22.

Sorry. Wasn't intending to make this a Mick thread. I guess i'm the villain now.

Venting ones frustrations are cool. Its just the consistent pessimistic outlook gets old fast, and in a way not supporting the team in any degree offends me.
Take the Suarez situation. His negative vibes are affecting everyone in a negative way. When Brendan Rodgers is being positive and talking about top 4, we don't gain the same positivity but potentially it could gain some hope and at least it can give some people a laugh.

Being negative is easy, and spreads like a plague, but we create our own luck, so some positivity can go a long way but it is hard when the signs look bleak.

A sign? - The second half of last season we were one of the top 4 teams.

You can just be negative about that, but why? I know we have turned so many corners that we have actually gone backwards, but just because disappointment hurts, it doesn't mean you should protect yourself by preparing for it. We need to be vulnerable and 'man up' to the challenges, and have hope that the good times will return, and seek the positive signs rather than hide from them.


Anyone who mentions me using 'man up' is 'a big girl', deal with it.
