jdckelly Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I agree but tbf that's not the only thing they are talking about doing tbf. Its further down the ladder I'd worry about, could kill off a lot of youth systems, costs a lot of money to run and in the end anyone of any major talent you produce will get taken for nothing.

Andymc1 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I went to Rangers v Livingston last weekend and realised what football is all about. I know people don't like Rangers but the atmosphere in Louden Tavern before and after the game was something we don't see near SJP anymore. About 200 Rangers fans singing both recent songs and songs about their history. As the players walked out the tunnel, I found myself underneath a huge banner with a picture of Lee Wallace and the word CAPTAIN. The atmosphere within the ground was superb - it reminded me of the early to mid 2000s at SJP where everyone was behind the team. What summed it up for me was the bloke standing next to me who must have been mid 80s. He asked me about Newcastle and then pointed to the Sports Direct signs within the ground and said "that's what's wrong with our clubs". I couldn't disagree, we talked about Ashley for 10 minutes and not a good word was said. I had to tell him that I was in awe of the Gers fans who forced him out. In a total difference to the old man sitting next to me, there was a boy of around 10 year old 2 rows in front. He stood on his seat throughout the whole game and sang every song. When the song died out half way through he carried it on till the end. I actually thought to myself, "this is what football is all about" - an old passionate bloke who still cares and a young kid who has it all to come. Are we the only club who don't have stalls around the ground selling knock off merchandise? In all my time following NUFC away from home I've always seen these stalls and it was the same last week. The scarf sellers, the badge sellers and there was even an old woman selling bags of sweets that you'd only see at a community centre fund raiser around here. I'll be back in February for Rangers v St Mirren but for now, this was what football is all about for me. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the first things that struck me, plenty of clubs rely on player sales just to exist tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Just flicked Soccer AM on for the first time in about three years. Have they finally binned all that s**** where they dressed up and ran about? It seems semi-watchable so far. EDIT: They've got two football freestylers on who keep saying 'tekkers' and 'banter' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I've watched us play for 15 minutes this season (the start of the Arsenal game until the red card) I've cancelled all my football channels. Even been thinking about deleting my account on here just to get away from it. I'm not just losing love for the game, I'm starting to hate it. I hate all the clubs. I don't give a fuck about a single fuck about any of our players. Tried watching the Chelsea-Arsenal game, but had to turn it off at half time. The blatant cheating from players and refs is an absolute disgrace. I really hope we go down as I just want a little bit of hope back. He just might sell if we're in the CC. What a time to be alive and that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Football these days seems little more than an imitation of Tory austerity Britain. The few get richer and better off, subjecting those in the next tier down to lives of mediocrity or a lifelong fight against slipping into poverty (relegation), and those in the lower tiers no one gives a fuck about anyway so who cares? All the while media tells us it's all getting better year on year and more exciting etc. then England go to a major tournament and the truth is exposed for a split second until Sky comes back and convinces everyone things really are great. Might have lost my way a bit there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Agree with both of the previous two posts. Seriously thinking about going to watch Coventry Rugby every week. Could watch Wasps at the Ricoh but that's just Corporate City and I loathe all of that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsted Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Watching The Sunday Supplement I recorded this morning and some fat Manc twat is giving Fat Sam the credit for West Ham's results this season. You fucking what? Oh, right, now the cunt's moved onto us. It's not Fat Mike's fault, apparently, some Fat Club solidarity going on here. Some other whiney twats chipping in, don't know why I do this to myself. Ugh. MUST CALM DOWN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I get it, I really do. Like I said yesterday, my apathy (though it has been worse) doesn't only come from the state of our club - the Premier League in general is just an insipid institution these days. There's just so much about it that I can't abide. I'm sure I'd get lost in the success, if it ever were to happen, but it's almost like 'if this is what we're fighting for then you can bloody well keep it.' One of the most recent gripes I've added to my personal stockpile of cynicism is the off-pitch drama. I'm really starting to grow wearisome to it now. Mourinho, for example. I don't even treat him as a controversial, outspoken manager these days. He's just a plot device that the broadcasters gobble up and sell as the latest character story in some soap opera. Series 10 of the Premier League - more juicy gossip than ever! "Remember that one where Jose banned the doctor!? Ha ha that was a good one." Just one of a million things that's getting on my tits about the modern Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
