You are no longer a part of the masses.

You are a selfish, corrupted, bloated, self serving, hypocritical, money generating machine.

I don't like you anymore, not like I used to in the 60's, the 70's and on until a few years ago.

P.S. maybe I shouldn't be watching that programme about the lasses caught up in the Manchester concert bombing. Real life, not the fluffy football stuff.

Leave the poor footballers alone will you.
They sometimes have to work 3 hours a week you know!!
Then there maybe an extra 4 mins overtime they have to work at the end of a match.
And they may only be on £ 30,000/£40,000 an hour.

Yeah I’m watching that too
Difficult viewing
 
It's a grim world.
The sad demise of professional football.
Global warming (man-made).
Sundry forms of pollution.
Overpopulation & mass starvation/migration.
Universal malcontent on so many fronts.

Barry McGuire's song always resonates with me, and the lyrics are as true today as they were when he sang it originally.

That is exactly what football used to be, and escape for a couple of hours away for the realities of life for the downtrodden working man. This is now being eroded by greed, and the Allam's are at the front of the queue.

Got to say I feel the same way. The season just gone for the first time ever I found going to games a real chore. Football was dreadful to watch, players on the whole poor, ****ish owners that have destroyed the supporter base.

I still love football though, I've been coaching my Sons team over the last 3 years and we started in the bottom league for his age group and we're now in Division 1 - and holding our own.

I get far more satisfaction from watching and coaching them than literally anything City have had to offer.

I would advocate hanging in there. I reached the “hate this club” nadir a couple of years ago, feeling utterly miserable at Wembley and sad that we won. I’ve since bounced back though, telling the Allams to **** off (internally, I’ve not dropped round at kirkella) and just focussing on the players on the pitch. I loved the five months under Silva and enjoyed five goal hauls and some terrace action more recently.

Good to see there are still people dedicated to the grass roots of the game.
I still enjoy managing a team in an old timers league, where players from probably 20 + different countries battle it out for the love of the game they remember.
Most are disillusioned with the direction the professional game has moved over the last couple of decades, regardless of their country of origin.
