This has really angered me...

Part of me wonders if an editor just stuck an erroneous headline onto his article, because the author's words don't seem to indicate at all that we're "all hype, no substance." He actually has quite a bit of praise for us, acknowledges that we dominated Arsenal for most of the game and were unlucky against Chelsea despite a good fight. The first two paragraphs and the headline are the only parts that seem deliberately inflammatory.

His presumption that Spurs will finish ahead of us is a bit nauseating but that's sort of to be expected.

He says that we're struggling because Barkley's injured and Lukaku isn't up to speed, which is completely true.

The bits about Naismith, Jagielka, and Distin all not being quality players are complete rubbish however, but he's not wrong in saying that we'll struggle to compete on multiple fronts this season.

I honestly don't know what to make of this, he makes reasonable observations, and then draws ridiculous conclusions from them. It's like it was written by 2 people, one who watches football and one who's job it is to stir up trouble and generate traffic to the site.
 
I don't find too much wrong with it to be honest, i think some people can be very sensitive at times.

I've noticed recently quite a few people on here acting very RAWK lite when it comes to the media saying anything slightly critical about us. Talks of boycotts etc etc

Stop moaning and grow a friggin back bone yer gang of flumps.

You all love it when the media blows smoke up our arse so accept it when they criticize and stop being spoilt brats.

That actually happens, does it?
 

He's a meff but he's not far wrong. Jags and Distin have pood themselves at pretty much everyone whose ran at them, need a calming influence in centre back at the moment.
 
I've seen enough pap like this over the years that now I'm just used to it. Kinda like living next to a set of train tracks -- the noise drives you crazy at first, but eventually you get to the point where it doesn't even register. It's a sign of our times -- anyone with a keyboard can voice his or her opinion. The real trick is finding the informed ones.
 
The lad who wrote this is actually one of my best friends, and he's pretty sound, actually really likes us but yeah, this was a really bad article haha. It's his birthday today and everything.

Oh my, the angry lynch mob on here will demand you put a pillow on his face while he is sleeping.

To be honest, its not really that bad of an article. He has a point of view and stated it.
