The Venky Love Thread.

[AucklandRover]

There are at least three posters on the Telegraph site whom I believe to be genuine Rovers supporters, but who have a puzzling generalised dislike of Mowbray. I don't mean reasoned questioning of specific decisions; I mean a sometimes desperate campaign to find negatives, even where none appear to exist. I am baffled as to what Mowbray can have done to merit this. Even making a simple comparison with all the managers since Sam should (you'd expect) leave most supporters pretty happy...but no - for them, it is constant carping about what he could have done better and how someone like Cook would have led us to 115 points last season.
It would be interesting to know what had led them to such extreme views.
I do suspect that some people find it impossible to back down. The same people often make an early, polarised judgement on every issue, anyway - thereby putting themselves in a corner.
I have always found that life is easier if you reserve judgements, keep an open mind, and accept that most issues are grey, rather than black-and-white.
Except in politics, of course!

You've also just described Saxo. Almost a perfect description. And also, he never backed down. At the very first sign of a defeat next season, it will all come back out again.

Book a holiday champs, get away for a while. You need a break I think.

Some of us have work and commitments mate. Paying our taxes so folk like you can sit and post on the internet all day. If we stop doing that, you lot are screwed......
I'm very much like Lenny Kravitz .......... I'd like to get away, but cant afford it this year. A week in the lake district is about my level of excitement
