Right, this is the "textbook reaction" because you think I think I'm wrong?

No, because you resorted to emotion and irrationalism when you reached the end of your debating road. Textbook.

Actually, it's because I can't be bothered to argue anymore with someone who the initial comment was not aimed at anyway but was so narcissistic enough to join in and dismiss my realistic comment as wrong (what a surprise) and then what really does my head in is this "textbook reaction" as if you're some all knowing psychology professor and this is exactly what you expected. And do you know the complete irony of it, your reply was exactly what I was expecting.

Just continuing to prove my point. Take a cold shower.

I honestly think you just like confrontation. My replies may come across as heated but they're not, it's just a way of writing. It's not as if I'm sat at my computer getting red-faced and pulling my hair out over some keyboard warrior!

And which textbook would that be? Freud's famous text on the behaviour of football forum members?

Yes, if you're referring to kg82. I engaged in discussion with him, answered all his points, and he worked himself into a lather when he was up against a wall. Textbook.

I am Coventry City's best fan Because when i was about 13 i offered to mow Peter Ndlovus garden for a school project...HE DECLINED!!!!!...i cried for a week from the denial of a hero.........how ever i've still gone on to spend the next 20 years generally still crying following the sky blues

I am Coventrys best fan cos I smashed Nuddys garage window with a house brick when he was living in Anchorway rd , this happened while showing a friend how Geoff Capes used to shot putt .

I'm confused as to how predicting the future is now regarded as being a realist? We have as much chance of staying up as going down - that's being a realist.

It's not predicting the future. It is looking at the constants. The constant factors are that we have not won away all season long. We have lost 10 in a row away and not scored at all in our last 3 away games and have only scored 7 away goals all season. Being a realist is coming to the conclusion that these factors will most likely stay the same and if anything our away form worsens as the last 3 games we have lost 2 nil rather than by the odd goal and we have now stopped scoring at all.

Anyone analysing things will see that things are most likely to continue in the same vein. The last 3 away games we have not looked at all like getting as much as a goal let alone a point.

There is nothing to suggest that our away fourtunes will change because AT has said he has no idea where it is going wrong and has said he is going to continue playing the same way away from home. Therefore the reality is that things will probably remain the same.


We have more chance of going down than staying up because our away form is so poor and having only won 7 games in 35 people are now saying we can win 4 or 5 out of 11. Is that's realism? Sounds more like a pipedream to me.

I like discussion. I like jumping in and starting questions, looking at facts and statistics, engaging with fellow posters. I don't dislike anybody here; the heat tends to come in my direction, but I feel like I back up my arguments.

My replies may come across as heated but they're not, it's just a way of writing.

The tone of writing on a message board is a reflection of the author.

It's not as if I'm sat at my computer getting red-faced and pulling my hair out over some keyboard warrior!

So you've described me as a "keyboard warrior", "professor of psychology", "narcissistic", "know-it-all" among others. And you say you're not getting red-faced? Really?

Cool off.

You shouldn't intervene - kg82 will think of you as being narcissistic.

No. Are you trying to infer you know what I'm like again?

Your questions are the same questions. It was nothing more than going in circles. You may like discussion and questions, as do I, but try and keep it fresh. Don't just argue my point with what was essentially just saying the opposite - "It's not realistic"... "Well, that WAS realistic". THAT'S why I gave up with the supposed debate.

It seemed to work. That was a much cooler post.

They weren't the same questions. It was a discussion about the meaning of the term realistic. You stated that you believed fans could have different ideas of what constitutes realism, whereas I said it was measurable. Then you pulled up your stumps and went home. Walk away, say "different opinions, we'll leave it at that" or whatever...but cries of "Christ", "sick and tired", "MEEEE", various personal attacks, and playing the victim don't really say "this is an individual who keeps his cool"; it was really that defensiveness that was so textbook.

Yeah, I was sick and tired oof going over the same thing. I'd said my piece, you said your piece, you said it again. It wasn't defensive, it was exasperation, there's a difference.

The total exchange was two posts each - it was hardly an epic. There is a difference between exasperation and defensiveness, and it was the personal attacks and determination for parity that made it the latter.
