You are getting like me Chilco when I have expressed my sentiments about Glasgow Rangers and Chelsea. The reality is that I feel rather pathetic having these feelings towards any football club. Is it to do with their board of directors? OK, they get the flack for moving into the "tax-payers" stadium. So did Manchester City to a certain extent. However, I prefer to reserve my ire for the people who really deserve it - our awful politicians in particular the fat Boris Johnson who thinks his politics are better than anyone else´s.
