They seem a lot more pessimistic/realistic on there than some of the lot who have been on here. Perhaps we only get the odd ones who are mental enough to sign up to other teams' forums and brag about promotion before the season starts, rather than getting a balanced view!
I was on there a few weeks ago and the overall feeling was very similar to the trolls you mention. The majority were excessively positive about the coming season, but I think their lack of signings, and superb pre-season, has made them turn it down a notch because as we know in GG's case, getting egg on your face is awful.
