To be fair your start to the season has been a lot more difficult than ours, we should really be top and unbeaten after our first 7 league games, and I'm sure it can't get any worse now.
I don't necessarily mean you with the nerdy language it's just I hate people abusing internet terms as it is, let alone in sports.
And I know our start to the season has been awful (and not exactly easy with the teams we've played). People blame the American owners but Hicks and Gillett aren't on the field playing, they aren't sitting in the dugout with a pathetic look on their face and when we lose to a C class team they don't say they're satisfied with the performance from our squad (HODGSON!).
You know what Hodgson said after the Utrecht game? He said a draw was good because Utrecht deserved to get something out of that game. You NEVER take pity on your opponent! When all is said and done you can be friendly to eachother, and you should be respectable on the field too (as a true sportsman should) but never feel sorry for them enough to give them a point when our play is the way it is.
Did Man City feel sorry when they beat us 3-0? Or when Arsenal stole that season opening at the end? No they didn't, nor should they.
I'm still behind Hodgson all the way until he leaves but I'm not satisfied with him at all. Not because we're losing/drawing all the time but the way he handles it, sitting still doing nothing, not telling the team to get their act together and if we're lucky he makes a sub at the 70th minute then praises our team for losing. And then he constantly takes jabs at the owners (trying to make us fans think it's
all down to them).
Bob Paisley used to be disappointed when he finished 2nd. Hodgson will probably be full of praise when he ends up shaking hands with Les Parry at least twice a season (if he's still with us).
