FOOTBALL, NOT A FLASH IN THE PAN!!

LOOK!! IT HAS GONE 

Over the last couple of days there has been a beating brewing . TV and media polishing their knuckle dusters to give the football world a bit of thumping . Roy Hodgson leading the pack now he is the F.A and government puppet . Making comments like “I did not like the atmosphere at Villa Park for the Charity Shield compared to the feel good vibe of the Olympics” .
I enjoyed the Olympics I always do no matter which country it is held . But it is just over 2 weeks every 4 years run by strange old Swiss French people . With governments sucking up to them for a chance to make loads of money . Or in more cases than not lose loads of money . It remains to be seen if these islands win or lose , my guess would be the latter .
So the Olympics is a gamble, governments always think we will not make the same mistake as Athens or Sidney . Or probably every country that has held the Olympics . They all lose one way or the other . You wait it will be the investigative journalist holy grail over the next few years . With Panorama type specials coming out of the media’s ears .

So now it is Football all the way for the next 9 months . After the frenzy, tears on film, medals, new venues to show off, corporate shit ,posh people thinking they are right on, one of the gang . Well before the knuckle dusters come out THINK!!
It is not a question of will the new football season make money . It is how much will the new season make . For 9 mouths thousands and thousands of people will be travelling around the country spending money following their clubs . Take that out of the countries economy and it will nose dive . The money the country makes out of football is guaranteed, not a gamble . Roy Hodgson should know this, he has lined his nest with our money for long enough. A lot more so now he has got the yes man job .

DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU 


On the news this morning the presenter made a statement “we never get top footballers as guests on the show” Thank fuck it is not relevant . For me , I don’t care about seeing them on news programmes . It is about what they do when they cross that white line to fight for my club, is what counts.

So all the jolly hockey stick football haters flying the Olympic flag I would think again before having a go at football . The country would be in a lot more shit financially without our national game . Football is in our blood our culture . Its in the culture and blood  of a big chunk of the world, giving people common ground to come together . Far far bigger than the Olympic family , and unlike the cosmetic feel to the Olympics, the peoples game is organic . That takes place for most of the year . Long my it continue football brings the world together all year round ,every year . Not just a flash in the pan..........
