for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any
dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential
for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling
for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating
