Thanks for pointing out what I thought was obvious but looking at the thread perhaps wasn't obvious to everyone. The silent majority its often called.
I would like to introduce an idea to our fans, that of mutual interdependence. I hear many fans say that the reason they are so angry and loud and negative is because of how bad the club is run. This is an example of how their feelings are dependent on the state of the club. Many, many, years ago I noticed that my feelings were swinging wildly based on our results, and the alcohol I was drinking was inflaming those emotions even more. I realised that for all the happiness I got from football, it wasn't worth all the depression and anger. I took a break from football to restore my mental balance. A lot of United fans appear to be seriously depressed and could perhaps do with a break and loosening their attachment.
But its also the case that fans can influence the team. There is a difference between being a fan(atic) and a supporter. The word supporter more accurately reflects this mutual interdependence. We can of course do this at the game through singing, and off the pitch through purchasing, but its a double edged sword, when at a match we collectively groan, curse, boo, or even just stay grimly silent, that atmosphere transmits to the players. And off pitch the social media abuse (take a look at Young's instagram or even his performance thread) will find its way back to the player and can affect their morale and confidence. There is a feedback circle here of fans getting on a player's back, them performing badly, and that aggravating the fans even more. This works with managers too.
Now a professional footballer (or manager) at such a big club as ours has to be strong enough mentally to resist that influence, to have immense self-belief, and also to forget their last game, their last season, and focus on their next game. Only then can they maintain mental balance and their joy of playing.
Of course, they are professionals, but if you are a fan, the sort to use RedCafe, then you are more or less a professional fan, life-long which is more than most of our players. So we have to look after our mental health for the rest of our lives too, because our blood will always be red. And that similarly means forgetting last season and the last game, and focusing on the next one, one game at a time, maintaining your belief in United's potential, its players and manager. While the team's poor performance might make you angry or frustrated or sad, if you are still feeling like that weeks after, that is now your responsibility, about how you deal with your emotions and choose to respond. If you don't then you will end up like Claude or DT.
