Football rivalry going back yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaarsss!!!! Just jesting by the way BAREBEAR Jazz -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know . Funnily enough I prefer the old Chelsea pre Abromovich,when we used to lose regularly. If the result today happened in the 70's or 80' the Arsenal players would have been suicidal, now their all payed too much and today didn't matter that much as there was nothing much on it apart from pride, unfortunately pride is coming second place now.

Yeah, in some ways I have sympathy for old skool Chelsea fans. I mean, we got to the UEFA cup final based on spending unsustainable wages and playing bland football - yet I'm perversely looking forward to our impending relegation, just to bring some spark, competiteveness and reality back to the whole thing. Kind of back to what we always were - a yo-yo club. Premier league Football in England - outside of the top 4 - is dead my friend. Believe me - negative, over-priced, sopophoric, fearful and bland. So again, what DID I like about Britain? When sport was competitive!!! I do feel sometimes that we are clinging onto a Britain that 'was' rather than 'is'.

ArthurHon Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I hear there are a lot of awful people about but most of the people I meet are rather pleasant.

You lot did alright when you had Jimmy playing for you,that was a great match. I remember Mclaren saying that he didnt really have any tactics just let the players get on with it.

I remember you beating Walsall 7-0 away in 1988/89 (after you had been relegated by some DNB team ). David Speedie - proper old school! Played for Darlo actually (another team about to be liquidated into oblivion this week by a callous 'businessman' - what the hell are we doing to our community and culture for a quick quid??? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever tried to work out how clubs make a profit ? Its virtually impossible even for the big teams. Thats why the city aren't keen on football,the figures just dont add up. In 20 years I can see there not being much more than 2 divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kengan Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Whether it's crap or not, it is the country I come from and I am not a 'farang' here. I detest lots about the place especially some of the the bellends that live here and the shite weather. I remember returning from Australia years ago and hearing people struggling with their luggage and complaining loudly on that Gatwick rail link about being back in 'this bloody place' ... and the old railway guard who was collecting their tickets just said "Yes... but yer keep coming back though don't ya!" ....that's one thing I like about the UK.....miserable twats who are funny.

Thats why the city aren't keen on football,the figures just dont add up. In 20 years I can see there not being much more than 2 divisions. They can hardly make enough to support the running of the plastic bowl stadiums and their infrastructure. See, that was one thing about having a brick wall to pee on, and a basic kiosk to sell bovril (oh ok, or shandy for you) - they demanded no upkeep!! The other thing of course is wages. It's sooooo like houseprices - the wages (prices) at the top get inflated by those who probably can support then in the short-term, then everyone else has to pay higher wages (prices) that they simply cannot afford, just to try and keep up and appear ambitious. It works for a while, then the cracks begin to show, football clubs go bankrupt, home-owners can't keep up the payments... As Platini said in a paper today: "What happens when the TV money stops"????? Night night Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
