The Top of the League Thread

[Reece]

no just that i will never settle for 2nd best or it'll do etc.

even when i've got what i want in my own life i look on a situation and see where i could improve and take lessons to do better next time.

Yeah but in your own life to you go on and on at your family and friends about it?

Joking aside rage, generally speaking it is an admirable trait IMO, but you have to understand that the majority are naturally defensive of their club and when someone constantly looks for the negative angle on things it can rile them. You can't be expected to change your opinions or your outlook on Liverpool, but I think you need to be able to express them in a less inflammatory and provocative way. And maybe if you do feel there have been positives highlight them more often than you do to at least attempt to give a balanced argument

i'm also defensive of my club but not to a fault. its clear that opinion on here is increasingly split that even if i posted something the majority agreed with there are those that will see it as a criticism.

as a positive upto the xmas period if anyone had offered me to be a point behind chelsea with them still having to come to anfield i don't know of anyone who would have been disappointed. but also if someone had said we'd be within a point of chelsea at xmas even though we drew at home to stoke, fulham and hull i'd be frustrated at what could have been but more importantly want to know what we're doing to make sure that we don't make anymore mistakes like stoke, fulham and hull.

if we want to stay top of the league we need to learn from our mistakes not make excuse for them.

oh and even if stoke, fulham and hull aren't mistakes but rather missed opportunities than the solution for these types of games - bring back garcia, he's available on loan apparently.

See I agree with basically all of that. I'm as frustrated as hell about our "missed oppurtunities" and I don't for a minute deny that it could cost us come the end of the season. But I guess it's a case of different people have differing personalities, i.e. I (and many others) prefer to concentrate on the positives, whilst some prefer to concentrate on the negatives. There is absolutely nothing wrong with either per se, and I agree that people need to be able to accept problems that we may have.

I do think though that you do come across as possibly being negative for the sake of it sometimes, and as I said previously that is what can rile people. I didn't want Sarb to go into his self exile status, neither do I want anyone else to leave (or as Dunk would put it "ban themselves" ) but everyone needs to put in the effort to make this a friendly place to be.

Hey, why dont Sunderland claim to be top of the league? I mean, they're not. But it doesnt matter on here.
