Maybe not, I have a tendency to do this, I always have and no matter how much I am aware of it, and how much it annoys me, I still do it.
Same....it's part of the territory of wanting to talk a lot but not actually having much to say :lol:

I think the main reasons they were wrong is that 1) they don't have all the inside information (none of us do), 2) they don't know enough about football (I put myself in that category too) and 3) they're not aware of 1 & 2 (I am).
I recognise myself in those statements!

It really isn't. We've spent all apart from a few days in the top half of the table. We're now eighth in the table. If there's anything that's substantially different between now and a month ago, it's that we're far less afflicted by injuries. This means that the manager can consistently pick a more settled line-up, and there are plenty of quality options on the bench so we can crank up the intensity of our performance when starters begin to lull.
Yeah, people who wanted him out before are now acting like it's some big epiphany after Forest, that Fab had burned up everything he was doing and started afresh. When the reality is that it has been one big process ever since he arrived here, and will continue to be a process for some time in the future.

The only difference perhaps in the last load of games is that before, not one of us knew if it 'the process' would definitely work or not, although many were adamant that it wouldn't, but now we're a lot more confident that it does, indeed work.

I keep seeing this stated as though all footballers are thick, but as most of our players are foreign and some being Dutch I suggest the Dutch at least have a better comprehension and use of English than your average Brit :smile:

Repetition is an essential part of learning.

Why does he repeat everything he says ?
He’s hyped up and excited after a huge, huge win. Love it. So was I.

Maybe you need to know a bit about Germany but Bavarians are not exactly known there for having the smallest, most unopinionated mouths in the world.

As a 'Fab in' man, I’m really pleased he’s won most people back over but my big fear for him is that it’ll happen again. Whether it’s this season or next, it’s 100% certain we’ll go through bad runs again, perhaps even longer than the recent one. When that happens, I hope people will recall what’s happened recently. If a coach is genuinely out of his depth or, like RDZ, falling out of love with the club, then fair enough, I think it can be time to move them on. But I’ve never had those fears with FH. It may happen in the future but there was never any evidence of it here. All we had were those totally unfounded 'He’s lost the dressing room' bullshit rumours which I found really cowardly.

For me it’s simple. We’re supporters. Unless something really major happens, we support the players and the coach and the club. Through bad times and good.

The bad run was literally 2 games - that was what was so rediculous - so it's fairly certain we'll have similar bad runs again. Prior to the home defeat at Everton, we'd had 3 wins and 2 draws against Arse and Villa!
