No medal thanks ...........
.......... I have enough already.
In order to make the assault on the Sky football brigade I 1st had to make my own credentials rock soild You're perfectly right, anyone can be a football fan but it's the real ones who'll travel, be able to discuss intelligently (even with a "scouse" or "manc" opponent) & even be seen on a terrace in Dalymount Pk or Turner's Cross occasionally.
I have strong views about the Sky & Setanta money contributing to the ruination of football. Let's face it, only 4 teams have any hope of winning the league every year. There are no fairytales anymore.
I see Manchester Utd. fans barely celebrate success anymore. I nearly had my 1st bit of joy since 1980 in the 2006 cup final until that fucker Gerard broke my heart. As a Manc fan I don't expect you to support my views but a more even playing field will help with the games long-term survival.
I love football more than WHUFC or any other team. I switch off my tele now if the too oft shown Man U are on, L'pool aren't far behind & have more interest in the cup now Everton might win it.
Forrest, you are not one of the fad sheep to whom I refer, you have history & you travel. I'm sure you know flocks of the other kind ?
