I love the gas as thats tribal,its my club and always will be and I want us to do as well as we can, but I HATE EVERYTHING about todays modern era of football.That why there is something alittle romantic about us still being as sh** as we are today ( stadium/training ground wise) as we are not apart of that awlful system.
The whole premiership set up is about importing the best players in the world by paying the most money and yhen selling the TV rights to overseas markets.The idea of wanting to finish in the top four over winning a historic English Cup is heartbreaking, as all its history have been ripped away due to tbe creation of the premiership brand.
Fa cup final day comes around now and it means nothing for me now a days.
The last time football was still football for me was the Fergie vs Wenger era in the early 2000s.
You look at all the new stadiums.Most boring,souless concrete bowls.
Everything is about money..money..money.
If it was me then I would make it only the Top two in the premier entering the Champions league like in the old days.But give the other two spots to the winners of League and FA cups.
I also like the idea of the winners of the EFL trophy getting a place in there leagues Playoff spot come May, but of course without the Prem Under 21s in it..!
If you did that you would reinvent all levels of the game from top down,by giving more chances to make money for every club, making more meaningful matches and giving each Trophy a reason to enter.
The FA Cup died as an attractive proposition when ManUre were allowed to not compete when they played in that mickey mouse "super cup" instead.
Still as relative minnows we would relish a game at one of the big four or five in round three if we got through.
I’ll never believe Sir Alex wanted anything to do with that farce of a competition. Dropping out of the FA Cup, a trophy they were the holders of, to entertain unheard of Brazilian outfits in the middle of a league season half way around the world. It was just madness. I believe the FA forced United into it, to aid their campaign in hosting the 2006 World Cup.
