It's weird isn't it?
Recently the crowd in the stadium is much more appreciative of the team's efforts than those who post on the match day thread during the game.
Maybe the experience is so different that it leads to a completely different perspective on what's unfolding before us?
After all, we all want the same thing. Maybe it's just as well that it's not the other way around.

Going back to a few games has changed my perspective, so,yeah, I think the telly makes you more critical as you lose spatial and speed awareness. Even more so Iimagine for those that play computer games…I wouldn’t know.

There are some on here who are yet to be convinced about Matos

The world would be a very dull place indeed if we all agreed about everything all the time. I would be surprised if anyone thinks he is the finished article. I take heart from the fact that most of us are prepared to cut him some slack when he gets things wrong and we have (for now at least) parked the Blur/Oasis nonsense that has plagued Swans forums since Potter left.

I realise you’re not the brightest but can’t you count?

He doesn't need to take his shoes and socks off unlike yourself. If that helps.

I'm a casual gamer... the answer is NO.

Hardcore gamers have the greatest multispacial awareness of all. What you are witnessing is moaners just moaning.

A good win, a great second goal but the final result and the stats are lying. We were bang average at best and our attack makes the eyes bleed. This is the best we can achieve from this squad and an upgrade is needed.

We were playing Stoke!

How often is it that we play Stoke and do well????? (Not talking about winning)

Yes, your comments are correct (as they often are) but context and nuance for today...Nah!
