I wonder the same thing, and not just in this thread, but more widely on TFC.
The better we play, the less toxic it gets on here as the usual suspects tend to lay low until the next loss or bit of bad news.I wonder the same thing, and not just in this thread, but more widely on TFC.
I’m relatively new to TFC, so at first I put it down to the trauma Spurs supporters have suffered over recent seasons. Fair enough.
But then I thought about the atmosphere on the Fulham boards where I also post. FFC has suffered its fair share of trauma over the last five years, yet the atmosphere there is nowhere near as toxic as it can get here.
Is it the nature of THFC fandom, or just the fans here, or just a proportion of the posters here who are loud enough and vicious enough to drag the whole tone down? It’s a puzzle. The last, maybe.
Hopefully Ange will generate enough good feels with positive, attacking football on the pitch that the atmosphere here changes as well
Absolutely pathetic isnt it. Mad thing is we all know how this is going to play out. Its the same people every season and weve all got to pander to them and go along with this clown show and pretend weve got the new messiah. Same people will have pitchforks out for him by february. And youll try to remind them and they will just stare at you and dribble.He even used the "Not like going to the shop to buy some milk and bread" analogy in a recent press conference.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Taken straight from The Fighting Cock. Word for Word
Chanting? Wow, this press conference sounds more like a ritual.
You’re arguing with guys who to minimize Angie’s achievements and are happy if he fails so they can prove ownership’s incompetence in appointing him in the first place. They’re a loud minority on all threads. Be thankful that you don’t have supporters like that in your own fanbase.
No, I’m a Geelong supporter, but I started supporting Fulham when I lived in SW11 through the 1990s and could walk up the river to the games.

What’s your problem? People are excited. They should be after 5 years of horrible football.
Yup, some good acquisitions but, on the whole, it's been a let down up to now.
