No the difference is I support a player when he does well or does poorly; you constantly belittle them.
well, technically the players don't even know you exist, so they have no idea whether you support them or not... I mean you don't really think that typing some words on a forum means you are actively "supporting" them do you? you're just talking to other members on the forum.
Joe Allen and the likes just pick up their cheque every week and couldn't care less what you or I say here. So the fact that you think that anything we do here really matters and somehow you're "supporting" them or "not supporting" them is really irrelevant. You could say "yes, come on Joe Allen, you're the best player EVER!" and I could say "Joe Allen is the worst footballer in the history of football" and in the end he's not ever going to know or care that either of us said anything.
So if I say that Henderson played like sh*te when he played like sh*te, and if I say that he plays well when he plays well (like he did against Villa) it's neither supporting nor supporting him. I'm sure he's never even heard of the forum, let alone read it. I mean did you ever hear a player in a post-match interview say "I just want to thank all the posters on the forums, they've been really great."
but if you think that typing some letters on your keyboard means you are "supporting" the players then you just go on thinking that if you'd like. I'd rather see the forum for what it is, i.e., a place where we can get together to talk about the team, the results, the players, the manager etc.
