CULT OF FOOTIE

THERE IS A CERTAIN LACK OF AUTHENTICITY IN WESTERN HEMISPHERE LIFE ISN'T THERE? THIS THOUGHT WAS REINFORCED FOR ME THE OTHER DAY WHEN MY SONS AND THEIR DAD BEGAN HURLING EXPLETIVES AT THE
INANIMATE OBJECT THAT IS OUR TV WHEN THEY WERE WATCHING AN (APPARENTLEY) IMPORTANT MATCH....
'...YOU SILLY SOD..!...'YOU IDIOT!!!'...'USELESS!'...'OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU MORON!!!!'..ARE A SAMPLE
OF THE LESS PROFANE INSULTS AIMED AT SAID TV BY THESE ARMCHAIR CRITICS SO FRUSTRATED WERE THEY
AT 'MAN U'S' FAILURE TO SCORE....THE FACT THAT THEY SUPPORT MANCHESTER UNITED BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MANCHESTER IS, I REALISE, NOT UNUSUAL...AFTERALL THE MULTI BILLION £ CORPORATION THAT IS 'MAN U FC'
HAS ASSEMBLED A TEAM OF PLAYERS THAT REPRESENT THE DEMOGRAPHY OF EXOTIC FOREIGN LANDS
AND NOT THE CITY OF MANCHESTER.AND I KNOW THATABSENCE OF TRIBAL CONFLICT MEANS GUYS HAVE TO
CHANNEL TESTOSTERONE ENERGY IN ANOTHER DIRECTION,BUT WHY DO BRAIN DEADS LIKE US FALL FOR
CORPORATE FOOTBALL? THIS GLOBAL FOOTBALL MACHINE IS NOTHING TO DO WITH US, FOR A START
NOBODY EARNING AN AVERAGE WAGE IN MANCHESTER HAS A SEASON TICKET! AND WHAT ABOUT THE
LUDICROUS ADVERTISING SITUATION?...EXPENSIVE NEW KIT/STRIPS FOR KIDS EVERY TIME SOMEONE FARTS..ENDLESS MUST HAVE NEW EDITION FOOTBALL BOOTS ENDORSED BY BLOATED OVER RATED 'STARS'....AND BY THROWING MONEY AWAY ON THIS CRUD WE ARE ACTUALLY A FREE ADVERTISING MEDIUM FOR THE GIANT CORPORATES!! ( NIKE,ADIDAS,UMBRO WE PAY THEM ALL FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF ADVERTISING THEM!!!)
AND THEN THERE ARE THE FINANCIAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL DUES WE PAY TO THESE FACELESS
BUSINESS EMPIRES...WASTED EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR OF F.I.F.A. (THE COUCH)...
SLACK JAWED AND LIVERISH FROM DRINKING GALLONS OF LAGER...UNECESSARY SUBSCRIPTIONS TO
SKY AND THEIR CRAPPY 'PACKAGES'...FOR GOD'S SAKE PEOPLE!!!....ARE WE NOT BETTER OFF RISING FRM THE
SOFA AND ATTENDING A REAL LOCAL GAME OF FOOTIE, IN FRESH AIR,FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE OF MAJOR
LEAGUE FOOBALL...THAT HAS GOT TO BE A SWEETER DEAL THAN BEING WILLINGLY SHAFTED....GRATEFULLY
ROBBED BY THE LIKES OF THAT THEIF ABROMOVICH AND ALL THE OTHER GREEDY SHITS LIVING OFF OUR
STUPIDITY....JUST A THOUGHT....NOBODY LISTENS TO ME ANYWAY....I'M OFF TO DO THE IRONING NOW,
THERE'S MORE POINT TO THAT THAN TALKING TO THE WALL LIKE I AM NOW...
