To talk up or talk down??

Post by Monkey Boy »

When your team is going well do you prefer the underdog tag and play your team down or talk up how amazing they are??? Which is the best psychology??

My opinion, I love being underdog but hasn't been too successful as of late, so maybe if you keep telling yourself you are the best then you will believe it... Or does that create too many enemies....

Don't talk at all has been my philosophy thus far.

Tell it how it is but keep it positive.

As for talking up how amazing you are its never worked for the Farmers.

whether we talk ourselves up or down is irrelevant.

the fact there is a topic on here about how people should act is pathetic, next we will start a topic on how to iron pleats.......grow some balls boys.....

I rest my case your honour, no more comments on potentially the most shite topic ever discussed on here..
