Modern football is rubbish.
Stick with it. I have a dream that one day the whole Murdoch SKY empire will collapse taking football with it as clubs are unable to meet the wages they have committed to. I have a dream that most of the overseas footballers and foreign owners will be like rats jumping from a sinking ship and return to their own leagues. I have a dream that all clubs will go bankrupt, that we will be left with a load of safe stadiums, club names and histories, and millions of followers begging to watch old fashioned football how it used to be. And all the clubs will rise from the ashes and start again from a level playing field to do battle. A true corinthian spirit, playing to take part and for the fun of it based on traditional values of fair play and sporting prowess. Apart from the Villa...Randy sticks with it and we are the only club left with shedloads of money and dictate and dominate the rest of 'em.
For me it isn't the expense, when i've wanted to go in the past I found the money, for me it's the predictable nature of it all.We got promoted in '88,stayed up in '89,runners up in 90, nearly went down in '91, nearly won it in '93, won cups in 94 and 96 and challenged the top end of the Prem as well.Now we're once again going into the season knowing that Man U,Man City,Arsenal,liverpool,Chelsea and Spurs will make the top 6 (in whatever order), Villa and Everton will battle it out for 7th and everyone else will spend 8 months of the season in a relegation fight. There's no excitement anymore.Sure there'll be the odd game where we'll turn over one of Sky's sweethearts but you can bet your bollocks that a week later that we'll lose against someone like Wigan and if the unthinkable were to happen and we did get anywhere near that top 4, our best player would be flogged in the summer anyway.
People alway post this sort of hysterical nonsense when things at Villa aren't going so well. I got my Fulham ticket today. Can't feckin wait!
