    For someone who doesn't use the SB you seem to study it very intently. I join the SB whenever I can because I like to follow games with fellow fans, but I don't take much notice of what anyone (especially myself) says in there.

    Can we forget about the conceded goals against Barnsley and Bournemouth too, because they came from a one-off wonderstrike and some freak refereeing?

    Harsh to include the handball as a reason not to be positive. Yes it should have been given but it wasn't exactly a Doucoure vs Soton, the goal came from a separate attack, which featured good wing play and 4 Watford players in the opposition's box. Still not perfect, but good signs.

    I'm not chalking off the result, I'm pointing out that it's not repeatable in any dependable way, so its not a sign of improved attacking prowess.

    Maybe your point has value that those goals give a lie to the weakness of our defence and perhaps it's actually stronger than the goals against suggests because of the freak nature of one or two goals, but that wasn't a point I was standing against.

    I had a wobble last match when we lost , but back on HMSpisstheleague after yesterday.

    I think we are very attacking at the moment, our problem isnt getting up the pitch , it isn’t even getting the ball into the box , it’s getting someone to be in the right position to shoot at the goal. if we can get this element sorted then the odd defensive **** up isnt going to matter as we are going to score a lot. Until we get a proper striker on the pitch we need to rely on JP and Sarr for moments of brilliance , luckily these keep happening.

    if we can stay within 3 points of a top 2 place until we start to click I think we will be ok

    You can, but he more regularly screws up even basic, simple passes. The stats back it up, and most people on here watching the games are capable of seeing that with their eyes as well.

    In these dark Covid times I still occasionally read the witty Welbeck FIFA card post to lift my spirits!

    I don't think being questioned about my positivity from all angles was fun last night. Just a bit strange.

    Fair enough. Although I'd say you making jokes about the fact you were doing it and being deliberately over positive for humorous purposes gave me the impression you were having fun too. I should have known better and won't repeat the error.

    As funny as referring to people who hold a different opinion to you as cancer?

    Probably.

    Unfortunately all the research suggests the opposite: that toxic social media interactions have a negative effect on mental health. Id imagine this would be worse during a pandemic.

    Watching The 1st goal again its amazing to see JP going from a skinny little 18 year old to putting a championship goalkeeper into the net with his arse/hip/back. His attitude to playing in the champo has been top notch.

    The thought of observing you and your gang of merry men, goading each other on in your bedwetting echo chamber tickles me pink, so yes maybe Ill take you up on your kind invitation. Thank you.

    Nee Nah Nee Nah the joke police are out to get me. Contravention of ruling 6.2 sub clause iv - It is an offence to make a joke that upsets GD because hes sensitive.
