As for this thread, we all absolutely know that this place is for (respectfully) discussing / debating our views on the club, the management, the players, the results, the financial status, the future, transfers and just about anything else we can shoe-horn in.
Calling out wind-up merchants (and they've been many over the yeras) whose only purpose is to get a receation or simply be obnoxious has been a much bigger issue than it has recently.
Views change, sometimes you get right, sometimes you don't.
Then mods job here for a good long while was to try and stop threads getting too personal and trying to head off vendetta's before they go to far - if they didn't then this place soon becomes very disrespectful and degenerates to a mob mentality.
But the one thing we all know is it doesn't affect the players (although you might be surprised how often club employees as well as player agents and employees test the waters in these sites).
Come match day, unless you're a wind-up troll, we're all supporting our team 100% - but apart from that, let the opinions roll.
On a general note, how any life long supporter can be moaning about the club now, is hard to fathom; we've come a very long way in recent years, and my only upset recently is when I felt our managers behaviour wiothe press / attention was less than the standards he'd previously set himself.
