The FA may as well all be on acid. Gary Neville was spot on regarding this.

Disgusting thing is, Wembleys construction was funded by the taxpayers money, so in essence it belongs to the people, and has no business whatsoever being privatised by foreigners.

The typical Tory way of thinking: sell everything off and privatise. It's no wonder the NHS is in such state and we have nothing left to call our own anymore in this country. Quasi asset stripping and selling them all off is why we get everything wrong in this country. No doubt there's something in it for the men who are involved in such sales.
I mentioned in my earlier post about apathy regarding my club NUFC, it can be applied to the modern game and the Premier League "brand" as a whole. I'm just too young to remember Newcastle being managed by Sir Bobby Robson (I was 3 when he left) but just think the whole thing in the short time I've known it is absolute bollocks.

If there's any positives at all in watching non-league, it's that you get more football, and less commercial crap.
Though when your in the Conference/Blue Square/Vanarama/National League North.. money would be very nice when your barely able to keep your ground, that's being used to leverage debts.

I'll support my local team to the bitter end, despite non-league football being little more than a glorified bloodsport.
Hopefully this season our new team of professional players will be able to get us promoted twice back into League 2.
(Also, extend the thread to more than just this season)
This may change, unfortuneately. Peterborough look like they might make it to the Championship this season, running away with League One hand-in-hand with Pompey, though it's probably too early to say.Bombadil wrote:The other advantage is that when people ask who I support I get none of the tedious reactions from naming a PL team.. no one has an opinion on Cambridge so you can actually talk about football rather than go through the motions of repetitive banter..

That's great! My 2nd/3rd tier side here is lucky to get two thousand.Wopruthien wrote:Blew a 2 goal lead at home. But still top of the league for now. Seriously close to 6 thousand for a 5th tier game is impressive. Though seems whenever we have a big crowd we always try our hardest to stop the casual fans from returning.
Man City should win the Premiership, can't see anyone being close (though Liverpool will be closer) I just can't see them having the mental toughness to actually win the league.

I really don't know why Rafa has such loyalty.. what are the chances of him moving to Man U given Mourinho is fired?
