I'll be honest, I've struggled to really get into it since covid happened. Empty stadiums don't help, but there's a lot more going on before covid that I didn't really appreciate.

They would last just fine but they wouldn't perform the theatrics because there would be no point since the referee would just tell them to get up and stop being a Richard.
Good word. I had to look that one up.
Don't tell anyone but so did I .So don't ask me to pronounce it !

I don't like how this post came out
What I meant to say was I don't like the way people pine for the old days when they had their own set of significant problems. We're talking about disillusionment with the game. The effect hooliganism had on the game was enormous. People were literally dying. Attendences suffered. Teams robbed of the chance to compete with the best... Cough
There's also some positive aspect to the modern game, as much as people might dislike it. Whatever your background or gender you can go the game and feel safe now. Wasn't always the case. My old fella had some nervous experiences on the safety point with the whole culture that was about then
And it's not just the problems with fans. There were whole laws introduced due to problems with the game. The back pass rule for example. (That teams like Liverpool abused no?) You were also allowed to assault players on the pitch. I don't like the play acting but I also think it's good we've moved beyond that era of 'hard men' who were allowed to kick the talented players. There were also plenty of dodgy chairman, footballers more concerned using their doe to get sloshed than they were playing, outright corruption. A lot of problems

The worst thing for me is we are considered a top half prem side, we've spent a lot of money and we are nowhere near being able to even give them a game. how on earth has competitive sport become so ridiculously bias.
FFP has hamstrung anyone trying to compete with City, they has a very unfair advantage, it needs challenging in court because it has caused an unlevel playing field and Chelsea and City just have an advantage that nobody else can take advantage of, the games broken.
One thing that used to separate this league from others was the competitiveness and not just one or two sides winning everything, well that has gone to dirt because we are the same as all the other leagues now, dominated by a few, all the money going to the few and the competitive gap getting bigger and bigger.
Where do we even go from here, we aren't allowed to spend the money it would take to breach the gap.
