It all comes down to what you are pre-disposed to read it as. Me, I tend not to see the whinging in people (even our friend Alpine) so I tend to see it as the normal highs and lows of following a sports team, nothing more nothing less. Sure, there are some that take it to the levels of near bipolar extremes, but I cant see that in the quotes above.
Nothing better than venting your frustration about a pointless agem over the 'web IMHO.
