Just a Quick Question. As A Member of Charlton life what side do you prefer :
The Happy Clappers- People Who Always seek out the tiny traces of optimism in a bad situation
The Wrist Slitters- The people who are always quick to criticise the team after one bad performance Yet speak elements of the Harsh Truth

Which Group are Better ?

    Surely both groups "speak elements of the truth" not just the wrist slitters?

    I reckon the happy clappers will live longer

    Wrist Slitters wouldn't last 5 Minutes

    Wrist slitters are more irrational and often unnecessarily harsh. Take Stephens as an example. Almost seems to be his fault that he was not sold for 2 million. Does anyone even know for definite Villa offered that amount? He had a poor game today, but still nearly scored 3 times in a match totally unsuited to his style of play.

    Would be fascinating to see stats on each player at the end of a game- complete and incomplete passes, tackles and fouls, shots on and off, miles covered.

    Neither. Football isn't black or white.

    Maybe you could slit your hands and clap them? Sort of point out the dire stuff but acknowledge there are a few gems amidst the shower of shite.

    It is to Newcastle fans.

    We suffer a 2-1 defeat and suddenly there's three new threads digging out individual players and people calling for the manager's head. Sign me up for the Happy Clappers thanks

    No doubt about it, the wrist-slitters are far funnier:

    i prefer people that are positive rather than a drain on my energy, lifes too short, a bit like Chris Solly.

    Im a happy clapper.but was much happier returning home on dec 26th 2003 having demolished chelsea 4-2 than yesterdays damp squib.

    I'll happily sit in the Happy Clappers group.

    Happy Clappers generate a positivity which helps in the long run. Wrist slitters don't.

    I am a very happy clapper from on top of my fence, losing sure sucks so try and support at all times, but It's tricky some days.

    But are the happy clappers also the people who stuck their fingers in their ears and insisted that nothing was wrong during the summer? They were annoying, not for their determination to look on the bright side, but for their total refusal to even listen to any potentially bad news.

    Actually after a bottle or two of merlot,I put all laces and sharp things in the shed.

    Problem is some of ours are Happy Wrist Slitters - they absolutely revel in our defeats and delight in writing reams of negative prose saying "I told you so"....

    There was nothing wrong during the summer
    save for some compulsive overreaction to a lot of gossip and rumour.

    I didn't say there was anything wrong. I said that some people's refusal to even consider the possibility was annoying.

    I have a mate who will never say that we will not win today, whatever our position or oppostion we are playing.
    If we are 2 down with 5 minutes to go he still thinks we can come back, absolutely infuriating.
    I am all for supporting the team, I go to virtually all the games with the exception of midweek aways but I prefer the realistic approach. Example, Watford coming up, we have a chance but will be happy with a draw, blah blah blah

    So would you rather your mate just sat back with 5 minutes to go and just accept defeats?

    I'd imagine these people you found annoying were the same ones you claimed '...stuck their fingers in their ears and insisted nothing was wrong...'
    On the contrary, they probably listened to all the 'possibilities' and decided,rightly as it has turned out, that it was a lot of tittle-tattle trotted out by the same old self-aggrandising posters and wasn't worth considering.
