Even if we'd won 10-1 yesterday, someone'll find something to raise objection about. We are a hard crowd to please.

This piety is tiresome...
Dida has been making mistakes for a long time now, and I am talking about howlers. I don't ask for much. I just ask for a modicum of consistency.
We can always put a positive spin on something, and I did with Gourcuff, Emerson and Gila. But Dida's error cost us the game, a game, btw, I am fully aware that we did not deserve to win.
Should a goalkeeper fill us with dread every time he dons the gloves? If he performed well in Athens, I am supposed to look the other way the whole season?
In all of this I feel the most sorry for our defence. They must know that in effect they are the last line of defence. That feeling must be very stressful.
I am making a big fuss about Dida because he still plays for us. Quite why is beyond me.
