I think I'm the same as you, Jock. This time last month I was calling for Cook to be sacked, but the last couple of games have convinced me that he has the respect of the players, and now I think we should stick with him. In other words, I've gone from 'doom monger' to 'happy clapper' in just one month's time!
I suppose that makes us fickle, and irresolute. Yet, the way I see it, these unexpected alterations of emotion, and vacillations in outlook and viewpoint, underpin the very essence of what football is all about. This sport can leave you feeling on top of the world one week, and miserable the next, but that's what's so great about it.
Either way, it's blatantly obvious that there are some on here who have a naturally more positive disposition than others, and vice versa. That's not a bad thing at all, though. In fact, it should be celebrated, because such variation in personality is exactly what makes forums like this interesting.
If I had to place myself somewhere, I'd say that I naturally tend to look more on the negative side of things regarding the Latics, and in general life, I guess. The most important thing for me, though, is that others are content. If this is the case, my own happiness will generally follow from there.
