Being top by default??

[red g]

You think there is something wrong with football fans trying to be positive after a bad result? A football fan being positive has no real effect on results, but can cheer another supporter up when they feel down.
Negative posts dont change results either but can bring the mood of the forum down.
I dont have a problem with people being upset about results and venting there anger. What bugs me is that they take their anger out in all the threads and make negative predictions on stuff they dont know will happen.
I think some posters must be members of a depressed fortune telling group. How they know the future and what will happen is lost on me, along with why all their predictions are gloomy.

I wonder if the negatives are as negative about everything in life? I picture Craig as Victor Meldrew

Its very true Negativy very rarely helps anyone. yet positivity and self belief can help us all.

Its out of our hands now, im afraid its ManU's to lose.

But surely their luck must run out soon? For how much longer can they keep scraping 1-0 wins?

My predictions are merely based on what i THINK will happen, not what i want to happen.

Are you suggesting i should only make positive predictions, or that i should lie and say i think we'll win the title, if i dont think we will?

I understand that negative views can bring people's mood down, but as i've said, it brings my mood down when people (as i see it) make predictions which, based on the current state of play (our poor performances and struggles to score goals) that come across to me as patronising.

I dont discount people's right to do it though, if people post things which i find patronising, it's my problem and i'll deal with it. I dont go round telling them NOT to do it though.

It's in our hands still...win all our games (including a win at OT) and improve our goal difference marginally and even if Utd win their remaining fixtures, we can still do it...at the moment, the GD is +2 in favour of United...it ain't over til it's over.

I dont mind people making predictions but its how much they go on about them. Fair enough if you dont think we will win the league but why the need to keep repeating it?
Ahh but you did tell people not to be so positive with predictions. I know at the beginning of the season you were telling people to calm down as they thought they would win the league. You kept telling people the league isnt over until May. You were right then so why not follow your own advice and wait and see?

Hmmm, your response to Woobus below didn’t sound like what you merely THINK, sounded a bit more conclusive to me.

Its only going to kill it if it continues which we just dont know. During Uniteds bad spell it did look like they were out of the running, but back then we didnt know what was going to happen. Sound familar and look were United are now?
I dont know whats going to happen, I dont think you have special powers to see the future. So why worry about something that may or may not happen and which you have no power to control anyway.

We draw basically half our home games. It's not a one-off or just something that happened in the first 2 months of the season, it's just what we do. Why is it all suddenly going to change? We basically need to win all 8 of our remaining home games, very unlikely.

Are you some kind of oracle that must make predictions ?

Why not just see what happens instead of the constant doom mongering? Its almost like your obsessed with being proved right - you've even gone as far as adding your views into your sig so we see them in every post you make lol.

[Craig_H]

I thought it better to put it in my sig than start ANOTHER thread about it. You should be pleased

I'm only going on about it, in response to particular thread topics and various posts. And when people address posts to me, or reply to mine.

Of course we'll wait and see, that much is clear.

I sincerely dont want to be right on this one.
