The need for anyone to label fans at all, be it 'plastic', 'real', 'true' or whatever, tells you more about the character of the labeller than it does about those being labelled.

Today I sat in a press conference where a journalist asked if a player was leaving because he had accidentally favourited a tweet #gamesgone
MP expects Luke Shaw to be here next season...."Yes, he has a long term contract, so I expect him to stay here" (or words to that effect, although he's not going to say anything else really, is he?)
I think the best way to frame the question is to ask him what is stopping MP from being offered a new contract 'now' as opposed to asking when it is likely to happen. It's easier to bat the latter back with a general "as soon as we can" reply whereas asking a more specific question about the reasons for not doing it now is more likely to get a more specific response.
That said, he'll probably come back with "we don't want it to become a distraction before the end of the season" to which the counter response would be along the lines of "a lack of action can also be a distraction".
Anyway, less of my egg sucking teaching. Good luck with the ride!
Adds a veneer of impressiveness to our victory at Selhurst Park last month.
In fact, their run has been so impressive that Glasgow_Eagle has stopped posting the latest form table on their forum.
