Basically, you're another one who choose to ignore the fact that it's quite hard to make interesting discussion through positive posts, and have jumped on the "WW moans too much bandwagon". I could post 1000 times "Elphick is good, Kuipers is god, Forster has done well" bla bla f***ing bla. It might make me appear less of a 'Timmy', but it makes NO discussion at all, and is therefore relatively pointless on a message board.
I do post more negative thoughts than positive ones, but to say "unbelievable negativity comes across in all posts" is quite frankly bollocks. The fact is, a few negative opinions might be a tad controversial, meaning they stand out and trigger god knows how many posts in reply. The positive ones, which people generally agree with, are therefore ignored.
As for United - if this were a United forum, you would get negative posts about them (they aren't perfect!). But it isn't, so general United discussion is saved for HUGE matches. If they had lost say, 6-0 on Tuesday night, I don't think such "buy-eyed stupor" would come across. In fact, given the importance of the clash, you might have seen a fair few 'negative' posts in Mr Ferguson's direction.
That's all well and good, but surely you can appreciate that by giving Albion players 0 out of 10 and labelling them a joke in your player ratings, and then dishing out superlatives to a United side (who I personally thought were pretty poor by theire own high standards over two legs), can start to grate on some people? Throw in to the mix eternal piss-taking of Joe Gatting and Tommy Fraser and SURELY you can "understand" why I've gone into this in so much depth.
It frustrates the hell out of me that young Albion fans growing up have to read some of the tripe on here and think that it is representative of a majority.
