Armiento was getting the same treatment in earlier matchday threads. It seems more so just a tedious penchant for vibes-based takes that are as consistently negative as they are lacking in substance.
Seems to be a greater degree of negativity on the forums and in YF on game days than i can recall being the case in earlier seasons.
Perfect example yesterday when we went down to 2-0 whats the chant that screams out from the zone " Your nothing special we lose every week" 
In seasons past the drummer would have been banging out "come on Phoenix or Oh Wellington.
Day before the Woman went down 2-0 also cant recall the Lose every week chant being broken out for them. Its not as if their results are any better than Mens.
To play devils advocate, results haven't exactly inspired optimism in a long time. We haven't won 2 games in a row in over 400 days, and have barely won at home lately. 

This season I'm enjoying a lot more than last season, even if we aren't consistently picking up wins, our style of play is a lot easier on the eye than last season. (memories of last season's results/playing style would still be fresh in peoples minds too). 
Yeah get that but in seasons past we were a lot worse than  we are at the moment. Clearly remember us getting battered one game and what comes out from the zone. Okay everyone lets pretend we just scored the zone proceeds to go crazy while the rest of the ground wonders WTFs going on.

I clearly remember being at a Nix game in Christchurch well before the earthquakes, sitting behind the opposition goal.  Can't remember who the opposition were. We got hammered 0:4 or something such, and with a minute to spare Brockie scored a consolation goal for us. We all went absolutely wild as if we had won the league. Ah, memories.
