Forget the awarding of the next World Cups to Russia and Qatar as the start of the total demise of football, even if you add in the confusion and financial burden to the leagues that will have to change their entire season, because there has appeared a new threat to the game. It is not the complete takeover of the game by foreign owners, bent or otherwise, or indeed the advent of footballing mercenaries who spend most of their time complaining that 100,000 quid a week doesn't cut it for them and therefore they feel the need to look elsewhere to satisfy their needs and ambitions (substitute greed for the last words if you want). The minute they get to their supposed promised land their agent will drop a hint that the player feels that a move back to the Premiership would be a good idea so please don't think for a moment that money was a factor in any of these decisions. Started to rant a bit there because I have thought for many years that the sport I love was under threat from the sort of issues I have highlighted in my earlier comments but I am now prepared to admit that I was totally wrong because a new and sinister threat to the future of football has raised it's ugly head and it poses threats beyond our wildest imagination and it is: FLYING INFLATABLE BANANAS. Be aware and be advised to keep your eyes and ears open. Give me a break please from this kind of stupidity and non-event.
Did reading about the inflatable banana spoil your enjoyment of the morning coffee and croissant? I am the secretary of the club called "City's Grumpy Old Men" Would you like to join?
