.........has arrived once again.

What happened to optimism,common sense,intelligence and integrity? After just one Premiership game certain individuals have already taken their knives out and all of a sudden it's a disaster!

"OH NO WE'RE BEHIND CHARLTON" For fecks sake it's the first game of the season. We played on the road and got a point, and in case some of you forgotten we didn't do enough of that last season. Remember Middlesbrough last year? Yes them, they ran over us and outclassed us. This time around we got a point, and ran over them. Yes we could had won, we had the chances but we've scored dozens of goals in pre-season(and in CL qualifiers), we're capable of scoring goals. Today was an off day as far as putting the ball int othe back of the net was concerned.

Benitez started with a 4-5-1 formation in order to feel out the opposition,especially since they had Yakubu and Hasseilbank up front who've caused us problems before. There are 37 games left to be played, it's too damn early for all this crap. Most of you are too hard to please for your own good, come back down to earth.

1st half was just like watching last season, we set up to not lose rather than to win. thats a fact and calling people moaners wont change that

[Lando_Griffin]

Peewee you moaner.

[112-1077774096]

[Espionage]

I could not believe what people were saying, sure we were frustrated, but thats not a bad result away from home

[Paul C]

I don't care about the negative , as their not proper reds in my eyes and don't understand football, I have 100% faith in Rafa and others should too

AB, your comments are a hurrah for common sense. Last season we WOULD have lost that game (before anyone says it, I know we DID, I am talking in relation to our away form last season) and if we perform at that level for all of our away games this season, we will pick up more points than we will lose.

If you had of offered me a draw before the game, I would have taken it as our record at the Riverside is at best, patchy.

We've got Sunderland and Sofia in the next 2 games, both at home and I believe they will be comprehensive victories. The 'doom n gloom' brigade will be back praising the whole team, the sun will be shinning and world peace will have been declared. Everything will be rosey in thier eyes again.

I've heard a few people slagging off the formation - if i'm not mistaken, didn't Rafa play this sort of formation at Valencia? I also didn't see it a 4-5-1 either - more 4-3-2-1. That formation doesn't constitute a defensive attitude at all - exactly the opposite, infact.

For the first game of the season proper, i'm happy. Why shouldn't I be? I've already seen the one major thing that I wanted to see this season - PROGRESS.

The Doom and Gloomers are the reason why I no longer read match day threads. I just post and leave because I can't be bothered to trawl through pages and pages of moaners saying things like "Sack Benitez, get rid of Moores, Gerrard is our only player, Gerrard sucks, moan, moan, moan, whine, whine, whine, blah, blah, funking blah!!!". It does annoy me that I don't hear too many other views on matches from this site, but people who look a hard earned point in the mouth (that's right. Not a loss, but a draw) and start screaming for blood really get on my nerves.

Good post AB

[YoungAdam]

It's their right to moan I suppose but after ONE game? Come on. This looks to be one of the strongest squads in a long time!
