I don't like to think I'm the only one on Blue Moon who takes pride in supporting the club rather than knocking it at every opportunity but it sometimes looks that way what with the high incidence of negative threads and comment. Not saying that the negative views shouldn't have a voice but there's surely room for a bit more of a reasoned and patient perspective?
Anyone else out there?
There are several posters noticeable by their absence when we are riding the crest of a wave but who then reappear volubly after a couple of defeats/draws. These threads then always develop into Mancini isn't good enough. It's been going on ever since he arrived. And will probably go on til he leaves. They like to throw in a few conspiracy theories just to muddy the waters and extend thread to massive proportions.
They are very naughty and mischievous but they aren't RAGs

Is it his fault Hart keeps fucking up recently?
Is it his fault that Richards & De Jong collided and it upset the team balance?
Is it his fault that we missed loads of chances at Villa?
Is it his fault that referees make the wrong decision? Penalty against Carr.
Kolarov was cm's away from winning the game at a place where Utd struggled & Chelsea lost.
We are THIRD in the premier league.. Now is the time to believe, not question. We can do that at the appropriate time.
simon23 said:I no way do I want RM sacked (though if he fails to get 4th then it may be a different matter as I believe with this squad he should get it)
In my opinion we are playing well below our potential....we were doring he same at the start oft he season...we then started to pick up (coinciding with balo gettting fit and him playing alongside tev whoch made us certainly more attacking)....however since balo's layoff we have reverted to slow negative football....
And whats RM;s responce to this????....Look at the offical site and it seems to me that he is saying he is going to revert to being MORE defensive
Now look at the best teams in the prem league - utd chelski and arsenal....None of them play defensive football, all of them attack and do so at pace and in numbers....different styles but all play quickly and with either wingers, attacking midfielders and two front men (Utd) or 3 front men and attacking mobile midfielders (chelski) or a very fluid system which revolves around sharp quick interplay with quick skillful players (arsenal)
We are none of those!!!!...we are slow and methodical and that is why we struggle to break teams down....not scoring many goals immediately puts US under pressure....a 1-0 lead is very fragile and can turn to 1 pt or even no points very very quickly....and if you ar going to sit on a 1-0 lead you ahve to be able to play on the break....and we dont have the pace to do that anymore
RM has got it wrong again. He has removed any option of a plan B, he has us playing negative slow football with little creative spark, and that is putting the team under more pressure
If we dont get 4th I wouldnt be too suprised to see key players come out (or at least there be runours of it) and say they were unhappy under his management....and I for one could fully see why.
Just because he is the manager doesnt make him immune to criticism, or immune to the possiblity of making mistakes...but then to say he is going to go more defensive (or words to that effect)....is just compounding his error

I've been consistent since march last year .
But I'll be there as always roaring them on tomorrow.
You're right though. We should pull together because the next three months are vital to the clubs future.
Lets beat west brom and build from there

Well at least I gave the incomparably incompetent Hughes 9 months.
