Nothing better than an uplifting and optimistic message to start the day 🙄
He’s right though he’s been pathetic since he came here.

one good game is good for AOB and us and I hope he takes his chance ,keeps fit (and I don’t mean injury free)and cracks on.
 
I think perhaps the pisstaking had run its course now and we should just let weeping hogs fly.
 
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

Here in Catalonia it's "un flor no fa estiu", which for those who might not read in Catalan means "one flower doesn't make it summer".

Johan Cruyff was famous for misquoting. His version was "One dove doesn't make a summer". I imagine that's the Dutch version.

Feel a little sorry for the OP - people on here can be merciless - like kicking a man when he's down. (6 pages)

Why for some is the immediate reaction to put the lad down after scoring a hat trick? He's never been as bad as some have made out imo. Just congratulate the lad, let's hope it gives him confidence and he keeps doing well.
 
Its amazing the amount of detail that people can find on Wiki to hide their true colours. Why would anyone go into that much detail about the actual date of the match, the sacking of Knighton and the number of goals scored after it by Tom Ritchie. Its a pity he didn't wiki "proverbs"

It was the perfect storm of slating a player after he’s scored a hat trick while f***ing up his wise man’s proverb

Don’t fish it out if you can’t shake it

Yes, I know. He was making a fair, but obvious comment - probably better as a reply than as a title thread.
I just think there's a tendency on here to keep on kicking when the man is down. Probably relates to a basic psychological need. One page of misquotes would be enough. But as they say "it's no use crying over spilt oatmilk"
