Perfect description about the media!It's an endless well of self-perpetuating 'news'.
Just a goldmine. It's brilliant, really. Not so much for the consumer (fan) hanging on every tidbit of 'information' passed on.
You can even chain your nonsense and make news off of nothing and then ride that crest of a wave before moving onto the next thing,.

It must be boring to moan at everything United does, isn't it?New board, new united, new ways of botching up a window
Certainly boring to read.
Speak for yourselves.
I have a theory that it's a psychological defence mechanism where the person tries to create a kind of win/ win situation.
If they are wrong then they get the payout of United being successful (which is what they want) However, if they're right then they can at least feel clever that they saw it coming a mile off and they told you so.
What led me to this theory? I used to be like it myself and I realised that's what was behind it for me.
If you want to go in psychology; society in general doesn't accept minority with different views. For example, most of people are extroverts. So introverts (people who tend to be surrounded with only couple of persons or even alone) are viewed as "wierd ones". "Why dont't you want to go out and have fun with people? You are so weird"
Same is with this. If you are realist and saying stuff how they are, you are a pessimist, moaner etc...
But if you are saying what people want to hear then you are an optimist, positive and a nice guy. If for something to happen you have 10% chance and you are saying it will happen then you are "awesome and positive". Someone who always look at bright side of life. And for those people every situation is win-win, not the opposite like you were saying.
This.
Not sure where to start with that one... so I won't
This is nonsense. You could literally flip it and would read the same. You're proving your own theory to yourself.
Yes optimism and pessimism are both psychological coping systems. One of them though is more related to better mental health outcomes... I wonder if you can guess which one it is?
100% is better to be optimist, no question about it.
That's better
Everyone thinks they are realist.
other than FDJ are we not being linked to any other midfielders?
We're not linked to anyone other than FdJ at the moment.
Nothing credible, no.
He is our plan A, B and C
There's no need.
Benjamin Sesko says hi
Starting to think our only other signing will be Sesko with Ronaldo, Bailly, Telles, AWB, Williams sold and Amad, Pellistri, Zidane and Savage out on loan.
Just checked that thread and there's no news that we're trying to sign him. Just a load of people saying we should sign him
Optimists usually crash a lot deeper than a pessimist as a pessimist is expecting it anyway.
I watched Sesko few times. I don't know why all the fuss about him. People say new Haaland but he looked to me as new Sorloth
Saying what people want to hear doesn’t make you an optimist.

Nothing on Chilevision
"hilarious"
On my way to hospital to have my sides stitched back up.
Can’t say I’ve seen/heard about either of them acting foolishly.100m for Antony
Only fools will agree to that price. But then I remember I support Manchester United and we have Richard Arnold and Murtough at the helm
that famous Austrian humor
2 notifications of transfer tweets, both utter bollocks
Salzburg clearly well aware how inept our recruitment team is.
if i was at utd, id remember these tweets..then pay off some agents to unsettle some of the star names. feckers.
Not our fault the rest of the world doesn't get it!
Major clean up operation required here after I soiled myself laughing so heartily.
I've come to this conclusion as well. Pessimism is actually super easy, much easier than optimism which can involve you 'losing' or your feelings being hurt etc.
People also love to complain and love to be agreed with, so it's easy to that echo chamber when you just whinge about things. We do it with all sorts, weather, work, football.
It's also a hallmark of ignorance. How many people who have zero skill jobs and zero experience in the subject matter will sit at their minimum wage job and claim they can do the PMs job better, the CEO of Manchester United's job better etc. The lack of self awareness is hilarious and a bit concerning.
That is pretty funny to be fair.
A bit precious We could just buy him for 20m and tell them wankers to feck off.
Please please take Fred
