So...what do you think I'm 'defending' him against?!Originally Posted by Maestro
I was neither defending him or criticizing him. I'm just sick of football generally. It's not a sport any more. I like to think there isn't any corruption in the sport but when there's so much money around you kinda think there probably is and then when things like yesterday happen...what's the point?
Zim's said we'd have lost anyway. Well, maybe. But the point is we'll never know. From what I've heard we were holding our own until we had a player sent off. If we'd lost with it 11 on 11 then fine, I can accept that. But when the cheating is so blatant then what's the point in it all? Had we beaten Chelsea they would almost have been out of the title race already - it seems so contrived that with us looking like we could get a result (by which I mean at least a point) there's suddenly a refereeing 'mistake' which makes a defeat almost inevitable. It keeps the narrative going that Chelsea are resurgent, Mourinho is a genius
Balls to it all, the only thing to do if you're going to follow football at all is go back to grass roots. The football might be a bit rubbish in local teams but at least it's real, at least it's still a sport where the best, not the richest, team wins.
