    Is the enemy of the public forum people.

    I've actually said this before but it obviously fell on deaf ears.

    I thought anomie was the problem with post industrial society though Durkheim was never my bag.

    It wasn't reight funny first time round. Just regurgitating your own comments is bad form. Even for you.

    Be honest, how much 'Googling' time did it take you to come up with that theory? Not least of all the correct spelling.

    You're bang on, it is. There'd be no discussion if we all agreed. But saying the same thing over and over and over again isn't what makes a forum either. Particularly when it's a negative about a part of what we all claim to support.

    Your opinion on Dawson is perfectly valid. I doubt there's anyone who uses this forum who doesn't feel at least one of the squad isn't up to scratch. I bet you can't name who that player is for each of us though, even the most prolific posters, because the vast majority don't don't bang on about it all the time. You slag off Dawson half a dozen times or more every week. I'm not sure what you think that does for the forum or the player or the team.

    We've got rid of Perkins and Wiseman, Kelvin doesn't get into the team much and Kennedy is too obvious.

    Who do you expect me to criticise?

    You could try not criticising anyone. I know you're being funny there, but give it a go for a week. You might find you start to feel happier. Lay off the doom metal too, that can't be any good for a happy go lucky disposition. I'd be slagging off all and sundry if I listened to that all the time.

    It's not doom metal. It's death metal. Listening to that or listening to euro pop dunt change the fact that some of our players are a bit crap.

    Probably explains why we've been in the bottom three all season.

    I'm not talking about changing the fortunes of our team, just the quality of your life. The music was tongue in cheek, but criticising people all the time can't make you feel good. It just can't, we're not wired up that way. It eats away at you. Do what you like Conan, don't listen to me, I'm an arsehole, but looking for the good in people, even dodgy footballers, beats the hell out of looking for the bad.
