Makes me shake my head. Like it's been mentioned, footballers should never be rolemodels. It's the parents. Though recently it's become apparent (especially at the Merseyside Derby) that some parents are clearly not fit to be so. Sorry state of affairs.

If you are relying on an outside figure to be a true role model, then frankly you are failing as a parent
really . LOL silly [sperm] fans
so which fan base is next in line to do some ridiculous-ness ?
i wouldnt mind blackburn fans throwing cooked chicken into the pitch
Yeah. Luckily Villa and Birmingham fans don't do that at derbies.
All we do is riot and throw chairs at each other.
Today was derby day in Avellaneda. A Racing fan was shot in his, well, 'private parts' by an Independiente fan. The bullet went through his ******* and lodged in his buttocks. I'll take the chairs any day of the week, thank you very much.
What is this, 'our riots are bigger than your riots'?
Actually is more like 'idiocy is contagious, but while our idiots are terminal yours can still be cured'.
Ours was, luckily. This is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. For all its faults, football in Britain has come along leaps and bounds, and we're now one of the most tolerant nations with some of the best fans in the world.
Yeah, we've had our ups and downs too, but we've been having few of the former and plenty of the latter in recent years.
So what would you call it?

A depression.
Maybe a bad start is a good change because in the past, every time you make a flying start, you normally end up out of the race by February anyway. It's only early! Stay optimistic, that's the only way I can support my team.

A bad run of form.
18 points from 17 matches since February, I believe. By what duration must a 'bad run' continue by your reckoning, to then be considered something else?
That's an average of around 40 points a season or so. Relegation form, but still... in Wenger we trust.
As far as I'm concerned, last season is behind us. The players should be thinking the same way... Difference yesterday was that unlike the first few games when we clearly did badly because we had zero self esteem and were still feeling sorry for ourselves, against Spurs we were simply beaten by a better team on the day.
We played OK, and were outdone by a handball goal and a screamer/GKing error. Of course it doesn't matter how they go in, as long as they do go in (legally, of course) but I don't see why we should ignore more positives games - Bolton, Olimpiacos, Udinese, Dortmund - when we played well so that we can criticise Wenger for everything bad that's happened. Not that injuries to key players and a fair bit of bad luck has had anything to do with us doing badly at all. Nope. Not at all. It's all Wenger's fault.
Every time something bad happens, it's all Wenger's fault and we're in a "crisis" (While still no one mentions Liverpool's last 5 years), but if something good happens it's a one-off, lucky, or it doesn't matter. We've played 7 games and people are writing us off the Top 7. Lolz.
