Everything has changed. Football used to be looked on as an entertainment. If your team played badly and lost you just had a laugh about it - it was a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon with your mates. Nowadays if your team plays badly and loses it's the end of the world. If the other team played well you enjoyed watching it - nowadays the result is all that matters. I loved being in the Premiership watching the skill of top players. When Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City destroyed us I enjoyed watching the skill and entertainment but I realise that to some of you that is nothing short of heresy. In the old days a football match was entertainment and a good afternoon out - similar to the theatre or the cinema. It has now turned into a form of tribal warfare except to a few of us oldies.
