DieselDaisy Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Oh football is fucked up the arse as a sport. Completely. There is just nothing left now. Money, greed and diving foreigners have destroyed it I'm afraid. I stopped watching years ago. Football and boxing have been buggered up the arse.

I read they are one of few clubs that aren't in debt and make a 50 mil profit or something. But I think the board keep the money. It's run as a business rather than to win trophies. So of the billiinaires just want to have fun getting wrecked at the games. Like Abramovitvh just wants to party really. It's like fantasy football with money stolen from the russian people. It's like he went rogue once he won the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they have bidets in the emirates' toilets haha? (I'm just winding you up. Too easy.) I'm very difficult to wind up like that. You wanna wind me in up in a footballing sense, the only way to do it right now is to point out that we were second a coupla days ago and now even Tottenham are above us, now THAT winds me up.

Managers switch sides, players as well. No loyalty. But I still think the intensity is there on the pitch. But it comes from the players without contracts. Or last of a dying breed players. Walcott is still football brainwashed but Sterling has a hair salon in his house. It's close to even the players not caring. Anelka syndrome is rife. Players going to China for 30 mil rather than trying to win prem. Football is more like a global religion than sport now. They need a new pope of fifa after blatter got impeached.

Hypothetically, if I was into football which I no longer am really, I honestly could only find myself supporting non-league or lower league teams. I just cannot relate to the vast corporate Johnny foreigner monstrosities that have replaced all of the top flight clubs. Morpeth Town or Blyth Spartans would probably be my club.

Gotta love a bit of lower/non league football I'm not sure Coventry are actually non league yet but they are trying to get real. I like watching the sunday pub leagues. Every challenge is an assault. Players smoking on the pitch. I saw a goalie with a can of lager. Always a woman on the sideline screaming Fucking kick it!!! But Championship football seems better to watch. Still a bit of tic tac but there's more Utd in the 90s style football. Full backs over lapping deep crosses to the back post etc. long range efforts going into row z.

DieselDaisy Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Texaco Cup was football, Texaco Trophy was ODI cricket (set in England). Oil giant spread its wings. The football competition was a sort of British Isles only champions league thingy, which saw the best domestic sides from England, Scotland etc compete. I love the un-pc sponsored competitions from yesteryear, the Benson and Hedges Cup, Rothmans Four-Nations Cup and John Player Cup. Gillette Cup also. Oil, fags and razor blades. It was a manlier era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal won that in 94. The tactics were to keep it nil nil away and then nick a goal at Highbury. I loved Arsenal in them days. The famous back four with Limpar, Merson, Jensen and Ray Parlour behind Campbell and Wrighty. I even had that vile top with yellow and black arrows all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
