It almost seems to me that EPL fans are at times too easily content  ... :- ) if Fungineer were a Wolves fan then his reaction would be typical:  a few powerhouse scalps on the term and he's well pleased, albeit might strongly prefer 17th place to 18th ...

Am more referring to the odd EPL-fan tendency to see each goal as a moral failing on the part of the defense, rather than as an exquisite demonstration of skill on the part of the attackers.
Every sports play whatever can be seen as a success on the part of one man and a failure on the part of the other, and when we focus on the latter we lessen our enjoyment of our pastime.
Or so it seems to me :- )

Time and again I see the British commentators fiercely tearing into teams that fail to keep their clean sheets, and showing not nearly the same gusto when they see a team put three goals on the board against quality defenses... but then, the assumption is that if a goal is scored, there could not have been any quality in the defense...
The idea that one team beats another, because its players are better human beings who are possessed of more courage and honor, is one that I think rather exaggerated. 
Talent and skill, rather than character, are what differentiate Man U.  If we don't believe it, let them try playing a term with a 50 million salary bill... we shall see where their on-field nobility and honor takes them, then...
