What I'm saying is the modern game is negative, less entertaining, probably because so much is at stake financially. Although I think Maureen actually enjoys the shite he serves up.

You said there wasn’t a manager anywhere that had produced the football we had in the past. That’s a little warped. We played at a higher level in the Premier League against the standard 4-4-2, ‘hoof and hope’ football with hopeless managers like Allardyce in charge but we could never produce the same results in the Champions League during those years. You can’t blame negative tactics because Utd were an attacking team and the same goes for Man City’s team. The modern game isn’t negative especially when players like Ronaldo and Messi are racking up crazy goal numbers. If you watched followed a different team other than Arsenal, you’d probably feel different.
