Saying it how it is
First time i find myself agreeing with a Spud
Now i feel kinda funny
Time to do something better with our free time dudes.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
It's sad, isn't it? It's something we've spent our whole lives following. People. places, jobs, all come and go, but The Arsenal has always been there. But when you come to the realisation that this isn't really sport any more, that the cards are stacked against us... I just don't know any more. There's always been a nagging doubt at the back of my mind. It's like wrestling now. Sure, it's entertaining, but it's not really a competition.

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.
By the way, Mike Dean, ladies and gents...

Yup. My sentiments exactly.
The thing is, you almost feel like a traitor or something for thinking it's time to give it a rest. But when you realise nobody at the club gives a fuck about you (only your money), it doesn't seem so bad.
You kind of want a blogger like Arseblog to say the same thing. Get it out there, that money has killed the club, the game and the family. But he's got too much vested interest in keeping the charade going himself....after all, what happens when nobody is interested anymore. Who is he gonna tell crap to? He's struggling to keep it going and sounding interesting even now.
I ducked out last year in a way. Sounds silly, but I've tried to keep some distance between me and Arsenal, and almost entirely from football and the bandwagon of mainstream media and social media which sucks it's rotten cock.
More important things out there.

Too right. It's not Mike Dean driving people away from football. It's life. As a kid footie is everything. Then you get married, have kids, get a shitty job, collect debts, enjoy a few global recessions. How much energy do you have left to worry about kids kicking a ball around? All football is for most people as they get older is a nostalgia trip. Given that it's so bloody expensive these days it's just as good and a whole lot more economically sensible to watch re-runs of a time when we played a decent game. I'm turning up out of habit, don't know about the rest of you.
Do I really, really care if Ox plays wide and doesn't track back? Little secret - no, not really. Is footie a disconnected world that I peer into from time to time as a distraction? Hell yes. Done my time on the terraces enjoying the carefree existence. Don't have that time and certainly don't have the money for it now. A pirate stream on Saturday, 30 mins high if we win, a moan if we lose. That's it. And the only reason I get really, really pissed when the manager doesn't give it 100% is because there are so many people in the real world who are they same, including me. The reason football is shit now is because none of us are bothered enough to make the wider world a decent place. Footie is just a mirror of that.
I post here to avoid doing boring work that I don't want to do. It's more fun posting shit on here than doing the job I'm lumbered with. My fault not Mike Dean's.
