    I pretty much never watch a neutral game any more. It's hard to care about a sport where it's mostly about who has the biggest chequebook and it's hard to care about our players when they're mostly overpaid spoilt brats who will piss off when someone waves the next big cheque at them. It's hard to care about the club when they so clearly care so little about the fans and just see us as customers to extract as much money as they can out of us.

    Wenger talks shit - yes. But lets not pretend football isn't full of people who talk utter shit. And yep, our football is dirge, but you know what? At least 90% of football in the EPL is pretty fucking unwatchable now. We are utter dirt - our football stinks, our player attitudes stink, our manager is out of touch, the Club haven't invested in years, morale is as low as I've ever known it, I see no way we can get out of this, I feel nothing but despair.

    And despite all this, the worst conditions in my life supporting Arsenal - it is still good enough to be comfortably in the top third of supposedly, one of the top 2 leagues in the world.

    Football. Is. Shit.

    And it is not just us.

    I don't offer this as an excuse for where we are, because it isn't, I'm just pointing out that football is a mess. How many games does anyone watch that they can truly say they've enjoyed? It is actually a shock to the system these days when I stumble upon a football game that is actually any good.

    I'd go along with that Ach. Football has been dirge for a while, and even though I we didn't win things over the past few years, I could at least take some comfort from watching us play some good enjoyable football. That does not happen any more.

    Winning trophies for me, is the cherry on the top of the cake. Going to a game and watching an entertaining game is for the most part all I want out of football - unless we hit the business end of the season - then I'll take a win however it comes. But we don't get that any more. Just boring predictable dirge with the same mistakes being repeated over and over again.

    Just watch superior sports, like tennis.

    And don't support teams/individuals anymore.

    It's possible your life will change. For the better.

    There's something in that tbh. Football is so tribal.

    Nothing actually pisses me off at the moment more than Arsenal, which are a complete irrelevance to my life, what they do doesn't affect anything. Yet there I am fucked off every Monday morning because we ballsed up on the weekend.

    Arsenal fans are planning to use bin-bags to protest against the club's poor run of results. Fans will highlight the number of empty red seats at the Emirates during Saturday's match against Blackburn by covering them with black bin liners.

    Lot to be said for that approach. Fuck this shit, caring about cunts who earn millions and don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves. Like they care if we're pissed off or not. Cunts.

    Anyway, Formula 1 starts again soon and I'm just praying Alonso can do the biz this year. Fuck that Vettel bitch. Come on Alonso! Fuck it, I'll kill myself if he doesn't win this year.
