I've really lost enthusiasm for it. I totally agree with the Chalton manager. The likes of Chelsea are totally destroying the sport with their millions.
Naturally it is not a new thought and it is often criticised. That there is more to the sport than money.
But look at the affect Chelsea have. They are mainly a defensive team. Prevent the opponent scoring and hope to score a few. Many other teams, including the likes of the England international team, are adopting this new defensive approach. But this is ripping the heart away from football.
Champions League final aside I cannot really remember the last football game I REALLLY enjoyed.
Is it about time the FA and UEFA imposed a "transfer cap" to prevent clubs with the billions running away from the rest of the league.
With the likes of Chelsea in the premiership, what chance does my team, Leeds, have of regaining their former glory... what chance does Newcastle have of winning the league?
I just hope for a few surprises in the premiership... because the Championship is a much more interesting place to be.

I much prefer going to see teams in the lower tiers. My local team Ilkeston Town is in the Unibond Premier league which is one below the Conference north/south and the atmosphere is electric with the fans being right at the pitchside. Costs about £10 odd for an adult ticket.

Going to my first Exeter game tomorrow v Burton Albion.
They're bottom of t the league so we (it feels weird saying that) should stuff 'em!

It's £15 quid at least on the east terrace at Underhill these days....
Tis the family stand for me :)

Oh i'm sorry. I am failing to even talk properly these days. I'm going mad.
Probably more games than this idiot Gregory goes to anyway. But obviously, because I watch the Champions League midweek and Premiership and La Liga games at the weekend on top of that, I'm commiting a serious crime. I should obviously be at all these matches.
The only matches I'd rather go up to see than watch on the TV are Derby games against the likes of Birmingham, West Brom or matches against the big teams.
I'd rather go to the matches than watch it on the TV though.

What, even when there's a chance that you'll get an update from another match with Chris Kamara at half-time? You must be mad.
