    Anyone else feel it?
    Not just towards our club but football in general?
    I just don't give a **** anymore.
    I hate the way teams are seeded in cup draws to stop the big boys meeting each other half way.
    FIFA, still as corrupt as **** even though Sepp Twatter has gone.
    I'd rather watch none league or Sunday pub football these days.
    FA do my tits in as well. Jobs for the old boys with the right school tie.
    Arseholes, always have been, always will be.
    That's why England are ****.
    I could go on & on about my gripes with the sport but you'll get the gist.

    I've felt this way for a few seasons now Billy.
    As you say nothings changed at Fifa.
    The FA messing about with the FA Cup etc etc.
    The football is mostly tippy tappy, half the Premiership park the bus in most games against the big boys.
    Players diving at the least contact, cheating every game,and getting away with it.
    Piss poor Referees, will it be any better tonight when video technology kicks in well have to wait and see.

    I get more pleasure watching my grandkids playing, trying their hearts out win or loose, my grandson who is ten came off yesterday absolutely knackered having beaten a,team they've always struggled against the smiles on their faces said it all for me.

    Dont get me wrong I love our club but am sickened with the amount of money in the game which in my view has ruined the game I was brought up with in the 1960s.
    I just can't see it getting any better in my lifetime.
    Sorry if this is a bit of a rant.

    Know exactly how you feel Billy the competition is now about which of the top 6 will win which trophies with the odd outsider thrown in every few years. I used to love watching England games on the TV now I forget when they are on

    And video technology will only spoil the game more
    It’s all about money there’s no love in the game
    It’s like let’s play football and become a millionaire
    Lower leagues where they play for the love of a game is the place to be
    Money money money that’s all it is now

    A lot last season were saying you must be in the premiership but I watched the Yeovil fans yesterday and I know which team i would prefer to support, you can shove the prem up your arse for all i care I genuinely don't want to go back.

    Am totally pi$$ed aff with it.

    I just cannot believe how far backwards our club has now gone - just think about the team that beat Everton 3-0 to stay up only 2 seasons ago!!

    How long will take to get back to that? I really think we are fooked big style and mebbies it would be a blessing if we dropped to Div 1, just so ES fooks aff once and for all!!

    Aye cause the financial implication of not being would be catastrophic, low and behold it was as demonstrated by our summer budget and claims that Short is still loaning the club money. Another relegation could lead to administration.

    My hopes of us staying in the Prem had naff all to do with mixing with the cream of the crop and everything to do with a concern for our clubs future.

    Also it doesn't matter what league were in, if we remain a mockery we'll do **** and we'll hate it. There was also a lot of people looking forward to this season and getting away from the prem. It's been no better I know.

    Can't argue with that. But we still have 4 more points than we did last year after 26 games.<ok>

    12 years I had my season card for and in my final season 15/16 we found ourselves sitting in the pub and say, shall we just stay here and we would look at each other and nod, following Safc over that period has been ****, a few great escapes and Wembley but on the whole ****, but everything else around football has also been ****, the money and sky and BT have ruined the game, how we have found the only football inept tight billionaire i’ll Never know, £146m for Coutinho **** me, neymar on £500k per week is ridiculous, with that amount of money in the game it has to be corrupt.

    It’s not what it once was and will never be again.

    I hate the fact sky are only interested in bigging up the top six and making excuses for why other clubs got away with it

    Talk sport is the same, top six radio it should be called

    Jim White is the biggest culprit in it all, always looking at the negatives on tv and radio

    I have enjoyed the darts more than this season tbh

    I still watch a fair bit of football and a good game is still a good game but emotionally I've lost almost all connection to it. The money is a farce, the players are a bunch of cheating and whining ****s and the owner of my club is dragging us down the leagues.
