I read your musings (because I don't want to read the articles themselves XD)!
What does chicken littleing mean?
I'm a Bayern fan, but I'm actually pretty neutral toward Chelsea (despite the final that I still can't bring myself to rewatch or even think about in more detail than it happened...). I dislike Real Madrid more tbh.
It's from a fable about a chicken who'd tell people that the sky was falling, and people dismissed it. It's shorthand for overreacting to a situation and calling it doom and gloom when really it's no such thing.

Yeah, except that the chickens get eaten by the fox in the end? But yeah, it's shorthand for overreaction and getting carried away by mass hysteria. I think in England the story is known as Henny Penny.

Ohoh. Dunno about everyone else, but I find "believe me because look at my career" not a good argument in itself.

This! The brighter the picture, the darker the negative, as they say.
