    No, I mean even in times of black votes matter, there's a limit.

    Can honestly say I’m not looking forward to any of this coming back. I was already in and out of love with the game but now fans won’t even be involved that’s pretty much killed it for the time being. There’s only so much you can consume of anything before it becomes a bit sickly and I don’t think football is any different. I’ll always be an Arsenal fan and I’ll never stop rooting for us, but the all encompassing coverage of the game, overpriced tv subscriptions, tickets, merchandise etc can do one.

    Football is definitely an addiction and it does seem to create an unhealthy relationship with fans. I’m pretty sure in my early 20’s I was heading the way of the loopy fans you see on YouTube with how up and down I was with results. Thankfully I managed to take a couple of steps back and can now enjoy the highs when they do come and get on with my life like everyone should when the lows happen, because it’s not important and it really doesn’t matter in the slightest.

    It's entirely artificial, isn't it? It's not part of the real flow of life. It used to be, for me, when it was just about me. I think football, and sport, is probably the most selfish thing you can engage in. When life is crying out for some input, we all say, don't bother me now, there's a vital, crucial, earth changing event happening in sport.

    Just re-subscribed to Sky. £189+vat a month. Plus £10 for HD. Bargain.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Letters will have to get on the phone now. I hope he updates us on the outcome. He usually does.

    Shitting hell, I thought our bill was high! Wow.

    Pretty sure we'll be ditching Sky as soon as we can - the only things that are really keeping us with them at the moment are the Disney and Nick channels, which stop the girls from destroying the house for at least a few minutes each day, and the fact that it's really hard to get anyone to come out and install something else.

    Football is about the community that exists around it, and that does matter.
    You used to be everything to me
    Now you're tired of fighting
