Di Matteo - Sacked

[Snelly]

If football is as abhorent as you suggest and you hate it so much, why do you bother commenting on it, (I'm not suggesting for one moment that you shouldn't by the way), and if you're so in favour of games 'with standards and proper gentlemanly conduct' you'd better cross cricket and rugby off your list!
Oh, and don't be dismayed by managers' comments.............................don't read them/listen to them.
Don't forget, football repulses you...........ignore it! :mmm:

Slime.

I only comment to try and educate the ignorant and blind.

M
I used to love football and lived for the weekend to play. I can't stand it now - specifically the Premier League. A moral vacuum and a product made and presented by fools, played by morons and consumed by gullible idiots./QUOTE]

Couldnt agree more, played football for my school, local team and my county as a kid and was a regular at Edgeley park and Old Trafford when I lived up that way.
I just cannot be bothered to watch football any more as the cheating, diving, arrogance of the footballers and the ticket prices just puts me off, football is now just a business and the fans are seen as £ notes and not part of the club anymore.
I got sky sports for a month to watch the Ryder Cup (epic) and did not bother to watch 1 game of football during that time. Give me Golf & F1 every time

Been to 74 grounds with Fulham watching them in alll four divisions. Been away with England to Poland and Ireland. As a fan I will support my club and country and all I ask for each week is for the 11 players selected to go out and put their body on the line for 90 minutes. If they do that and still get beat the average fan will be happy with that.

The problem these days is that there is a decreasing number of players especially the higher up the pyramid you go that are prepared to do that and are clealrlythere for that weeks wages. Asking them to play for the reserves will lose the dressing room in an instant and player power is all. Chelsea in particular are run to a degree by the likes of Terry, Lampard, Torres etc. They aren't alone and you could substitute Gerrard, Suarez, Balotelli, Tevez etc. The only clubs this doesn't really happen at at the very top is Arsenal and Man Utd. Like him or loathe him Sir Alex has never been scared to boot the biggest stars out if they get too big

And F1 isn't purely about money then?
It barely qualifies as a sport these days.

To finish this off it shows how fickle the plastic flags are when they boo their new, and only interim, manager at his first home game. I know there is tension from comments made but that can be said for a lot of managers who end up in opposition clubs. Look at Arry with his tooing and froing between Southampton and Portsmouth. RB has been bought in for one job and one job alone and that is to get Torres off his lazy backside and show why RA paid £50M for him.
Worst of all they intend to continue with it "until the end of the season" according to Trizia Fiorellino, chair of Chelsea Supporters' Group. Good to see they still haven't grown up in any way shape or form.
