Terrier's the one making you look stupid, not me.
Please stop making his job easier.
I was trying to help you.

I wasn't aware it was his job.
Look, I've been supporting Liverpool since I was around five and I'm 32 now. I can't remember the first years in terms of play so for me last Season was probably the highlight of my Liverpool-supporting life in terms of our style and play and apporach and I created an extremely optimistic and positive-minded post about it.
You then said at the time I was probably going a bit over the top and I should please stop posting.
Fair enough.
How's that meant to be helping by the way?

It's not his job, since you asked.
But you KNEW it was a premature post, and that fact has been rammed down your throat with a vengeance., even if Terrier is being a bit of a prat for doing so.
We all make stupid posts we wish we could take back, but we admit the error.
I know I have.
You however still want to justify it by talking about 'hindsight' and 'patting your back' because it makes you feel good?
I was trying to help you by hinting that it'd be best if you said nothing about the football we're playing.
Because you might write another long post about how we've' turned the corner' and how 'rafa is the man to do it' only to see us in 15th spot in May.
I hope we can recover from this, and I pray we do..but I'm not going to comment about it until it happens..because it would hurt too much if we implode again.
I said the same thing to you last year too, if you recall.

I kind of hoped the use of the word 'blindingly' it than sentence made it quite bloody obvious that it was said tongue in cheek.
The thing is avemenon I stand by every 'blindlingly' optimistic bit of my initial post and really what's wrong with that? I felt at the time we were awesome and then I made a post about it. If you think it makes me look stupid then I'll just have to live with it.
We haven't played 10 minutes of football this Season reminiscent of what we saw back then (apart from maybe the United game and the first 45 against Arsenal) but that doesn't change the fact that I thought we was witnessing something very special. How can you in your right mind try and use that against me at this point where everything has been going against us? Surely you can do better than that?
Or is it really a crime to be a wee bit too optimistic on these boards where we are first and foremost supposed to tear our players, manager and club down?
Fuck that.
PS I must admit it's kind of telling that Terriers only input in this thread was when he had to dig it up. A poster whom I don't know. Brendans little helper I take it, bring it back in so he could frolick in the limelight of his 'fuck off' comment? Heck, maybe Terrier actually is Brendan. That's probably it.
Fuck that.
