Are you bedwetting because of a thread about bedwetters, or are you bedwetting because you think the use of the term bedwetting was finished with?

Take a look and ask yourself, which of these fixtures have I got the result wrong?
Easy - Norwich away. They're RUBBISH.

Actually, bedwetting still seems a popular debating epithet among Leavers posting on the Brexit thread. The most intellectual of them used it only the other day. I'm still wringing out.

Fulham away / Brentford away maybe? Saying that , I didn't expect us to win at Brum or Brizzle...

I think if you read my post more carefully you will find that I'm anything but bedwetting. The notion that those of us who were very concerned about the way things were going two years ago were 'bedwetters' has been seriously debunked. The term 'bedwetter' is, I think, not in such general use on NSC now, though it seems there are a few who still childishly cling to it, but why you should appear to think that such childish behaviour should cause me to wet the bed is quite beyond understanding.

Wins away to Fulham and Brentford look optimistic IMO, would be tempted to put them down as losses.
Barnsley and Rotherham will be scrappy games on poor pitches and we know we get unstuck in matches like that.
The bit in bold is so key for me. I can never ever understand having a go at players when they are giving 100%. It's so illogical. If they're not putting a shift in then perhaps it's fair enough to have a bit of a moan, whereas if a player is giving 100% but just doesn't quite have the quality, then complaining at them makes ZERO sense.

I agree that the term bedwetter is pointless. As was licker which was used at least as often.
What amuses me, and is a sign of the type of person sometimes on each side, is that a lot of people who were negative about Hyypia spent time gloating about how they were right. The next season, when a lot of the same people were negative, there was little gloating from people like me who said we should give Hughton a chance to see how he builds a team and not judge the fact that we hadn't bought 10 players by mid July. Even this summer there was some pessimism and moaning yet few people seem to have brought that up again now we are doing well. By the way, this isn't aimed at you, just a generalisation of people on NSC.
