Working Class Football Identity

[Sexual Ealing]

Of course.  There is always the EDL.

not for them as they have been set up by zionists, zionists also want to destroy working class identity at football.  Although I sympathise with the grass roots who have concerns.

Zionists! He's a real cutie, this one.

I do love it when horrid self-hating little englanders turn up on here.

Its all about the marketing and Sky's influence over the game. Murdoch followed the same format as US sports in as much as a team of pundits, lots of angles of the same action sequence, discussion programs analysing the games, throwing money at thick footballers intending them to become the new Hollywood / Rock N Rollers. As a business you have to admire the marketing, advertising and selling skills - as a game it has gone to shit. Look at the build up wank fest to 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' vs United and everyone knew it would not be "Game of the year" as penned but a Mourinhio inspired bore fest.

I have not watched a match or highlights at all this season unless Villa have been on it - as for the champions league I gave that up about 5 years ago when it went from a competition to a piggy bank for the cash rich clubs.

I genuinely cannot remember talking to some one about - "What a game that was last night"

As for class, football used to be the language of the world as everyone could connect with it - nowadays its all about the corporate endorsements and the evidence is clear to see in the corperate boxes post half time - more time to eat and drink than see the game. That connection with the actual sport is missing

Yes - I blame Thatcher.

  can't blame one individual for the loss of working class identity at football, the tories played their part people like Tracy crouch. Labour the worst and when the identity was destroyed the most. At least under thatcher we had maggies boot boys and war which was in Great Britains interest.

Blimey.  I originated as working class, and been fortunate to move up to middle class, (certainly in terms of salary), but im struggling to understand any of this last post

What did Tracey Crouch do to make football lose its working class identity? Was it her pushing for the FA to reform themselves, or her comments in support of gay footballers?

Since the creation of the premiership

Bing! Bong! Dave to the thread please!

He was nearly ok.

It was 93/94 that it was renamed as the Premiership, 92/93 it started as the Premier League.

So he was a year out on being correct. About that small point, at least.

It hasn't been know as the Premiership since 06-07 season, so why do people still keep calling it that. Just a big point it's the PREMIER LEAGUE.

Yes, I've been known to hold court on the matter before myself.

Why do Zionist hate working class football?

[cdbearsfan]

It's a good point Villa Lew makes about it not being called "the Premiership".

Why do Zionist hate working class football?

They hate having to travel with the riff raff on the Football Specials preferring instead to go on the Zion train.

Fuck me a full on Tory supporting Nazi. I reckon we’re struggling for an IQ of 80with this one. Love the “Labour the worst” trope as well. So sad that he can’t see his aspiration and patriotism is perfectly acceptable in Labour circles.
