Very true, mate. That was pretty frustrating as well.
To engage in football discussion is to know human stupidity: logical fallacies, cognitive biases, psychological effects. Almost every documented error of formal and informal logic can be found in just a few pages of discussion. In the case of VVD, there was a ton of recency bias and hasty generalisation.
Recency bias is the bane of my existence -- well, at least on football forums. The maxim of "you're only as good as your last game" sums up that line of thinking better than I could.
