3-0 seems ridiculous bearing in mind they lost Suarez, replaced him with a useless Balo (net loss of 14,000 goals), Sturridge has spent all year injured, they're 5th in the league and they got to the FA Cup semi final.... soz like
I think you can't underestimate the element of routine and following your mates. My dad's sympathetic to it but he's retired, he's gone to the match every weekend for 20 odd years and footy's main time he meets mates now, his mate he goes with isn't boycotting so if he missed the match he wouldn't go to the pub, he'd sit at home.
He's a grown man. You tell your mate he's a scab cunt and you go to the pub and get pissed there instead.
Don't like the red myself. Not to say it wasn't one, but a poorly timed, non dangerous foul being a second yellow is poop as far as I'm concerned. Poop.
