Football is really slow on the uptake when it comes to that stuff, in England especially.

2010 was the year Spain won the World Cup thanks to "sports science".

Yes, im sure Martin Odegaard is willing to move from a cushy loan position in Sociedad with basically a guaranteed Madrid re-call due to the season hes having. To move to Aston loving Villa.

I like the assumption that Villa will have a £200m budget to start off with.

Maybe even 220m. Surely no other teams will be aware of this budget and rinse Villa for extra.

There's been a couple of articles like that posted here from the MEN. Is it a rag or is it just one City fan with a chip on his shoulder? I saw one of their reporters go off on twitter a while ago, possibly this guy.

The priority of MEN is:

1) Please a lot of Man U fans

2) Anger a lot of Liverpool fans

3) Technically Manchester City is in Manchester so let's do an article about them?

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

quote:

I am losing interest in the club I support. I have picked up football again after a 20 year break and picked a minor charming club last year to follow. I am losing interest in the club, but still love the sport.

I am unsure on the neutral term, can I find a new club?

My feedback on this has generally been accusations of betrayal, lack of loyalty and plastic this and that. I realise walking away from a club is disloyal, but it is not like I have been a Watfordfan for 25 years, and suddenly I'm supporting Liverpool to be part of winning the league. It's only been a year, and during this year I have found negatives about the club that I did not see earlier. It is not just a small charming club anymore.


Upon OP being told hes a plastic.

quote:


Sincerely, on behalf of anyone not a lifelong supporter of Liverpool, gently caress you.

You are the kind of football support, regardless of club, who is a problem with football fans today. Not everyone who starts following Liverpool today will swap club to the next big thing whenever Liverpools current form eventually drops. The term plastic is a horrible term used by horrible football fans and serves as nothing but long term supports holding themselves to a undeserved higher standard than anyone else. It says nothing more than "I am better than you". Believe it or not, there's a tiny chance that new supports of Liverpool of this year might stay with the club for life. Will these people be "plastic" forever because they weren't in Istanbul in 2005? Welcome to the Kop kids.

Get off your high horse and acknowledge other equal football supporters. You are not better. You are not of higher worth than anyone who started to follow football or Liverpool at a later time than you.

I did not make this post to say that I will be jumping on Liverpool because they are the best team in the world. I made this post because I am not happy with following my current club.

He's deleted everything to do with Swansea from his social media accounts and removed anything that associates us with him. Absolute disgrace to this club. Just because he didn't like getting subbed after another usual disaster class yesterday he acts like this. He can gently caress off in the summer and fail at some premier league club
