It was so badI woke up this morning with a sicky feeling. Preferred Saturday’s without football. Particularly Woodgate’s football, made it a real again. Painful.
I hate everything about the PL & the farce Champions League too, football, IMHO, is finished as something I enjoy, only have interest for the Boro, like you it doesn't affect me as it once did when we lose, could be an age thing mindI hate the way football is going from the top downwards cant stand what the premier league has become. Still want the boro to do well but it doesn't ruin my weekend anymore when they dont. The club is an absolute shambles my expectations are at an all time low
Shallow celebrity culture, which includes footballers of course, has taken over every day life. Every day some celebrity is preaching to us about something. Just as I am bored with and sick of seeing obscenely overpaid young footballers actually running the game I am also bored with and sick of seeing overpaid and often talentless celebrities grinning inanely out at me from my TV and telling me how I must live my life.
Anyone being able to spend anything is more of a level playing field than the current Financial Fair Play system. That is designed to keep the big clubs big. How can we compete with another club that is allowed to spend more than us even when we can afford to spend more? In the long run it is impossible for us to be as big as Utd, Liverpool etc. because our revenues will never match theirs. We could get lucky and put together a squad of overachievers and do well for a couple of seasons but eventually the big teams will just pick that squad apart.
Great post foggyI still care about Boro of course and would be devastated if we go down but beyond my own club my interest in football is in serious decline.
I couldn’t care less about the PL and purposely ignore PL games because the money-obsessed PL has ruined the sport and I am sick of seeing obscenely overpaid spoilt brats and prima donnas posing around and effectively actually running the game. Can you imagine the likes of Cloughie, Shankly, Joe Mercer, Jack Charlton and Bill Nicholson putting up with that?
The recent showing of the 66 World Cup Final on tv in which the players were immaculately behaved, only served to show how unappealing current top flight football and many of its players and their WAGs have become.
That said, maybe it’s an age thing because it isn’t just football with me, it’s increasingly life in general. Shallow celebrity culture, which includes footballers of course, has taken over every day life. Every day some celebrity is preaching to us about something. Just as I am bored with and sick of seeing obscenely overpaid young footballers actually running the game I am also bored with and sick of seeing overpaid and often talentless celebrities grinning inanely out at me from my TV and telling me how I must live my life.
