Nothing better than an uplifting and optimistic message to start the day 🙄

Nothing better than a nonsensical mistakenly quoted bolloxed proverb in a subject heading followed by an uplifting and optimist message to start the pisstaking.
 
Looking only at his performance yesterday, he took his chances with little or no thinking time. He had an almost identical chance shortly after his first goal, and took more touches and subsequently spurned it. Undoubtedly he works hard, and we all wish him success. Hopefully this hat trick will boost his confidence.
 
Over here they say this: Une hirondelle ne fait pas le printemps » est une métaphore qui explique qu'il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences et qu'il n'est pas raisonnable de tirer des conclusions générales d'un seul fait isolé
I think Aristotle's point is about more than appearances being deceptive it is about character being made up of more than one deed which would support the AOB naysayers but I chose to construe it as saying we should enjoy success when it comes while accepting it does not mean we are going to be successful in the long term.
 
If the op had a pop at AOB at the end of a ten match run without a goal then it may have found favour.

However, to do it when the lad has just scored a hat-trick is a bit low.
