    I’m sure it’s not intended and it’s meant to be numerous, but this is quite condescending. It’s a football forum, not therapy.

    I found it pretty numerous to be honest.

    It has just become the battleground for happy clappers v bed wetters.

    I hope it stays active all season.

    Head wobblers trying to get involved with therapy advice and other weird behaviour. They are like the hippies in this war.

    I think it is derogatory term for someone with a realistic and balanced approach to WFC.

    Yes. And all the other threads in this section. Come on here for any legitimate info and it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

    I think it's solid advice to be honest.

    There is a great deal of negativity on here concerning the club at the minute. Pob's suggestions are all good ways to let go of some of that negativity.

    I like to think the two are not mutually exclusive, especially in these difficult times.

    Apologies if my genuine desire to be helpful inadvertently came across as condescending, but let’s be honest it would not be the first example of condescension posted on these forums, although I take the point that 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

    You are on a forum for a club that just got relegated after a disastrous season playing dismal football and which is in the process of losing a lot of its best players.

    There are some things to be optimistic about, but there are a lot of valid reasons to be negative / upset about the club.

    A tough talking interview with Ivic and two league wins are not going to suddenly patch over what happened last season.

    Yes. I’m annoyed at the club I support and how’s it’s been run over the past 18 months so I’m going to start a Gratitude Journal.

    Absolutely. Which is all the more reason for many people on here to take a step back and consider some of the suggestions that Pob made.

    I’m struggling to believe you can spell ‘mercenaries’ but not ‘disgrace’ or ‘pittance’. At least meridensi maintains internal consistency.

    66 pages and 2289 posts for a player we sold who never played for us ? Surely a record.
    Still, at least we got a good price for him, eh ?

    Just FYI, I don't think that Pob was suggesting that anything you write down in your gratitude journal necessarily needs to be linked to Watford FC :)

    I can’t help but wonder if it might be helpful for us all to agree to stand on our door steps tomorrow at 2:55pm for a coordinated singing of “Kumbaya my Lord“ followed by Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance”. It might bring us all closer together.

    Hands up who’s with me?

    I wish someone would explain it. It's as bad as being kept in the dark over the Suarez transfer.

    Is it something you do or something you are?

    I don't even know how to use it in a sentence.

    What is a gratitude journal? Do you put down when you’ve thanked someone to generate positive vibes? Or is it things to be thankful for that are positive in your life?
