Sycophancy? Is that what you describe calling Martinez out in his second season when he went all guns blazing for that daft EL Sinking sand trophy and destroying our league season? Or saying he was a fool when he stuck with a load of dead wood in the summer prior to his third season?
You're not alone like in setting up straw men to knock down, but the reality is that my posting on Martinez was overall loyal to a man who gave us our best season since the 80s whilst being critical.
I don't do iconography mate. Not with managers or players. You might want to have a go at that yourself when you think about writing a load of runny tosh about utter no marks in this team.
Best season since the 80's, oh you must have forgotten 95 then unless your now deeming 5th place better than an fa cup win, not to mention 4th under moyes which in I'd assume was also better than 5th.
Is some scepticism a good thing, yes, always, but when it consumes your every post, on every thread, when the negativity is practically pouring out in your every post, when your critical of every facet of the club, and even when proved wrong you merely shrug and dismiss the proof and just change tact in order to keep up the vitriol, then you become a caricature mate, you must see that?
You screamed our for an ownership change - you got one, and he's a good one, yet your treating him like he's a carpet bagger.
You criticise a manager on a vast array of things, doesn't play youth, only he does and he has shown that, proof ignored, he plays defensive first hoofball, only right now we have scored 5 more than in 13/14 at the same point of the season, proof ignored? and on and on it goes with you stonewalling all refuting of your points.
Will be blunt mate, your living off past reputation as a solid poster, because your last 6 months of posts would if they had been done by a new poster have seen you banned with certainty as a wum or worse. And it's a,Shane because you once provoked debate, but you can't debate with someone who doesn't even try to listen (because frankly IMO anyway) your posting entirely to cause argument and drama nowadays.
