It's torture, the most pointless football I have ever seen. Even as recently as two years ago there was a degree of entertainment in our play. Now there's nothing, maybe 2-3 snippets of entertainment a month if we are lucky. It's intolerable and made even worse by the media still banging on about our entertaining style. It makes you wonder if you are insane, you see the boring shit and then you see the glowing reports and think WTF? What am I missing? Did I imagine the footie we used to play?
It's not as bad as you're making out, it's not as good as it used to be.
It's better than the long ball 1-0 to the Arsenal shite in the mid-nineties.
