Beating them 4-0 is great. And it was at the time. There are times when you have to park the game's issues to one side, and this is one of them. But if you can't be happy after beating that shower 7-0 at home, you need to ask yourself why. Seriously.
Didn’t say it didn’t make me happy. I’m just not as bothered as I used to be.
It’s not that I have ‘moved on’ as such, but once Chelsea came along with all that money it put me off. Soon after my kids came along and I had less time.
Then Man City came along and I was even more put off.
I don’t feel as attached to the sport anymore. Winning doesn’t give me the same buzz.
When we beat united 4-0 in 1990 football was pretty much everything in my life (along with my mates). I’d go down the sports club after the game and opponent players would sometimes pop in and you could get their autograph. I got barnes, Gillespie and brucie. Paul McGrath and Gary pallister. I even got mark walters autograph once! Nowadays you are lucky if the players wave at you as they speed away in their half a million quid cars.
So yeah, I’m not fussed if we make top 4. My weekends are usually busy now anyway. Some recent games iv missed because I’m watching clone wars with the kids.
If united win the league next season, I would be happy for Keith (and the chap who works at my local Tesco who talks football) but I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.
I’d rather go to the cinema nowadays than watch football. If it’s a big game I’ll record it and watch it later but otherwise I tend not to bother.
Football is an entertainment. Like the weekly new episode of Mandalorian or whatever. The community aspect has long gone bar the yearly visit to the hospital the players make for a photo shoot. It’s clubs owned by billionaires with a team full of millionaires. Like Hollywood I can’t really relate to it.
