Goodbye football RIP

[TelfordVilla]

I have finished with this bastard of the beautiful game. 60 years a Villa fan, this is not the sport I have been absorbed in all these years. I have spent a fortune following Villa home, away and in Europe but cannot be bothered to even be aware of the last game of this season when either of the super league monstrosity clubs will be anointed as Premier league winners. Once again a gilt edged opportunity has been allowed to slip through Villa's fingers and the chance to eat at the top table has been wasted by bad decisions at the top of the club and an accumulation of on field corruption and media driven agenda to preserve the status quo. Villa will never again reach the heights that I witnessed on 81 and 82. Those days are long gone. The game itself is unrecognisable from even recent years. Is a goal a goal? Is offside offside? Is a foul a foul or just some prima donna trying to con the official into sending off an opponent to improve their chances of 'winning' a sporting match that is no longer a sporting event. I will be on the golf course this weekend as the premier league completes another season of predictable nonsense.  Check out the top 6 and ask yourself if that could not have been engraved last August. I will cock a deaf ear to any talk of football from now on. The world Cup farce will play out in Qatar and a new domestic season will begin in August but for the first time in 60 years I will be blissfully ignorant of which multi million pound footballer has just signed for which multi billionaire owned franchise for how many million pounds a week wages with a release clause in case it all goes pear shaped in 6 months. Sad for all football fans who are left with this monstrosity of a so called sport to follow but so glad to turn my back on it at last.  I feel nothing but a massive relief to pass this burden on to someone else.  Goodbye football. Hello golf.

Golf ffs.....

Criticises the Qatar World Cup, praises golf. Clearly hasn't been following the news recently...

I detect alcohol. Otherwise I think you should worry about yourself. And I don’t say that lightly.

Some of those points aren't without merit but...If following the Villa hurts you that much take a break from it. Get involved in amateur or underage football over the summer instead.

See you on the pre season friendly thread.
You can't get away from Villa that easily and you'll have to suffer like the rest of us.
You don't have a choice.

I don’t have a problem with the sentiment. Most of us realise how commercialised and corrupt  the game had become at the Elite level.
We still support our club, often blindly because it means something more than that to us.

The bombshells just keep on coming. Hope this site makes it through the night.
