You would be the FIRST one to tell us that fans talk themselves into what they want to believe after they have a little time.

I never claimed to give something "scientific", and if you think online polls are "scientific", you don't know science.

I gave you exactly what I claimed, exactly the way I found it.

And as I said, we saw the instant reaction on this board.

Only time will tell whether the first reaction of the fan bases is right! But they took it as a gut punch when they first heard it. No question.
