Cheers and no I’m not that old, turning 44 soon. My strong memories start from the 1985 FA cup final, my dad supported so I just followed suit although my older brother chose Everton!
Yeah being a kid, so many other distractions but I was football mad and even more so through my partying days. It’s not even the fact we are not winning titles that gets me down now, it is just the whole state of the club from the ownership downwards. We have become a meme and a continuous pun to the football world and so many (simple to us fans) changes can be made to change this but they won’t happen due to the fact we are a successful business and sports brand not a team.
As long as we make money and have money people in charge, the off field footballing ineptitude will continue to spill on to the pitch and we will continue to be as we are, a decent team nowhere near winning titles or CLs.
I just pray for a new ownership and outlook as if not then it’s very conceivable that we could go another 26 years without title (as from 2013). Unfortunately my own frustration and anger gets the best of me so my constant negativity towards the club and football can’t be good for my health.
Ah well maybe we’ll have a resounding victory tonight and it will be the start of something positive.
