Pleased it not just me either.....
I'm pretty much the same...not Sunderland, not bothered.
I will look at results that affect us, like the two games tonight for example, but that's as far as it goes.
Used to love MOTD as kid but there's more analysis than football now.
F.A. Cup Final day was always great....I loved the build up, the focus on the two teams, a little bit about each player, it just really set the scene. It used to be a big thing. Most teams even treat it as a distraction now, mostly putting out weakened sides. I find it hard to be that bothered, when the clubs that mostly get to the finals aren't that bothered either.
Even the media aren't interested in anything outside the so called Premier league "big boys".....to the point where, say for example a league game, Man City vs Southampton....Southampton never get a mention!
I would love another 1973, I don't think anyone outside of Sunderland would be bothered anymore.
. I doubt I would recognise 90% of premier league players these days. As the gap at the top grows more people are going to turn that way but the pyramid isn't going to be bothered as it's the foreign fans who will never see "their" team live or even go to the city the team is from but bombard everyone on social media with how great (insert name of top 4 club here) is.
