Don’t know why some people can’t just admit to themselves their opinions are just rather fatuous. They have to say someone or other has ‘grown up’, or ‘come to some realisation’ or other as a result of being ‘put in their place’, even though they know nothing about what goes on in terms of the day to day.
I guess being pompously self-described as being ‘one of the most vocal critics’ of a player (ie slagging someone off) has to be justified now that the team are winning; various scapegoats don’t have to be identified any longer (for now anyway), and some over-precious praise can be meted out instead.
