To be honest, I'll probably never stop being an Arsenal fan - it's too ingrained in my psyche now - and I'll make sure my kid/s are brought up right, IF they show any interest in football (I can't say I'm inclined to encourage it at this point). But I just don't think I've got it in me to be one of the über-fans, who live and breathe football 24/7, any more - it's fucking exhausting, and there's just too much that I don't like about the game, the club and the coverage to make it worthwhile right now. I have precious little free time (and money!) as it is these days, after work, commuting and being a Dad, and I'm really not sure I want to devote much of what I have left of either to following football that closely? As sad as it's been for me to admit, I honestly think I'll be happier as a very casual fan from now on.

Hence my statement after the united game - I think that's me done as any kind of serious supporter.
I'll continue to support, of course I will. But I have definitely become more emotionally detached than I used to be. I find myself watching less and less of the prem than I used to. Still love the sport at a basic level though, fortunately I get my fix through playing and helping to run an amateur footy club.
