No more negativity - it's a promise

[reamsofverse]

Turned over a new leaf today, a new start all around and I would like to apologise for my outspoken views at times both on the old site and Charlton Life.

I realise my constant attacks spoilt the viewing for mant and that was a pretty selfish attitude to adopt if im honest, as Dan has said im a genuine guy with a passion for the club and sometimes it boils over but I never deliberately set out to offend anybody.

I say what I mean and mean what I say at times and although that is just me being me I really am easy going and easy to get along with.

I appreciate other people's views have to be respected and respect them I shall.

Now where's Appy

Keep going Reams - like the layout of this site

Out of interest, how long did this "new leaf" last before it withered and died?

Give him a chance Offit.
Plenty to be negative about, principally our strikers, but give Parky his due he's found a couple of gems in Reid and Jackson. Also despite not playing particularly well we at least keep going to the end of games and heads don't go down, so the spirit in the squad is there.
One prolific striker and we would have been right up there this season.

i'm sorry, but anyone who can't see the negativity in this season must be the most easily pleased person alive. We dropped points this season against a team whose manager doubled-up as their physio. Admittedly i was laughing at the time, but if you can't beat teams like that then there must be something wrong which deserves to be highlighted.

Similarly, we've had some good performances this season which need to be talked about.
I'm not into these 'rose-tinted' vs 'moaners' camps which have been artificially created (on all CAFC messageboards btw, not just here).

Why isn't it possible to credit the team for decent performances this season, and Parky for some decent signings and tactics, but then point out our failings when we end up losing to bloody Bristol and using Akpo Sodje as our main goal threat?

Looks like you are really scraping the barrel now offit, having to revert back to a couple of years ago for a post when we weren't even in this division!!

There has been plenty to shout about this season, all the more reason then to be pissed off when we turn up somewhere with a nothing performance which has been happening a little bit too often of late.

My negativity will always be there it's part and parcel of being a Charlton fan, they raise you up and then let you down, it,s clear that you are in the forgive and forget corner and fair enough that's your choice but I don't see anybody constantly criticising you for it, as I said it's your choice so let people have theirs and mine is that I am not so forgiving because quite clearly the mis-management at board room level over the past few years has prevented us from doing what Leicester did last season and wlked away with this league which we would have done if we had been given that chance by the people off the pitch, we could have the calibre of squad that the likes of Southampton have assembled if it not have been for pure acts of stupidity..............alas we have the likes of Mooney and Sodje instead of Lambert and Barnard because of it.

Actually, I only went back to the oldest page to see what this website "used to be like".

Not much different to now, it would appear.

And ANY excuse for yet ANOTHER dig at the board. FFS, we ALL know you views - Lord knows there aren't that many of us on here - so why can't you just give it a fucking rest for once and try and post something without sniping.

Sniping !!??..........Judging by the above that really is the pot calling the kettle.......................

[bexleyboy]

Well it will last till we lose at home to Stockport on saturday

[reamsofverse]

Bloody hell bexleyboy that is really pushing it, even I expect a handsome win on Saturday, however should that not happen, could the last one out turn the lights off please!!

[ExeterAddick]

at least if we do lose we can just ignore all the negatives of it and keep having a pop at reams . . . .

[jackcharlton]

Always look on the bright side of life........................ )

I don't give a toss whether we have a run of 1-0's with every goal a rebound coming off the arse as long as we get the 3 points but a 5-0 stuffing of Millwall wouldn't go amiss.

Seriously (but not too much) though, sometimes this board is a bit like a Smiths greatest hits album.
