Post counts naturally go up when we lose because people need to vent their frustration after a bad week..  The 'O'Shea brigade' wants to point out the good things that happened, the few plays that 'if they just went the other way' would have led us to victory and the usual complaints about the reffing.  They don't want any 'negative' posting and they go out of their way to argue with folks who see the dark side of the loss.  There are some 'Fire everybody' posts after particularly bad games and lots of discussion about what went wrong and if we can fix it.  
 
When we win, everyone is pretty darned happy. Most folks just post how great we were.  The 'O'Shea brigade' have very few people to argue with and the analysis of what went wrong is significantly less than when we lose because it doesn't matter as much.
 
The newbies around here will notice the trend if they stay around long enough.  For me, the more fans there are around here, the better, even those who don't seem to know that much about football.

Too many threads by new posters who know nothing...
