Well

The real fan stuff was actually tongue in cheek (as that debate has been had on here many times). My point though was that fans do regularly get dejected or destraught when their team is doing badly, if only for short period after the game. I certainly have been destraught on regular occasions with NCFC in the last 3 years and recently have been feeling pretty dejected about the state of the club so I don't see why you were slagging off the fans quoted in the papers.

In fact i take it back I do not see how any fan of our club can not have at some point have been dejected about the state we have found ourselves descending to in the last 2 months.
