As much as I love football from the marrow of my bones, I genuinely hate what its becoming...

 

There are two distinct sides to my dislike of how things are going. The first being the obsession with tactics and stats, as if they are some kind of badge on the arm of a fan that they understand the nuances of a ‘a false 9’ a ****ing false 9, what a load of ********, its just playing with no one up top.

 

Stop being ****s people, football is a very simple game made difficult by stupid people. When you have the ball they cant score, put it in the net more than them and the jobs a good’un. Stop playing FIFA and Champ Manager and actually watch and enjoy a game rather than trying to conduct some faux social experiment on the meaning of the midfield diamond

 

Also as an aside does anyone know where you can get that t-shirt, i think it's fuc.king class

I think th t-shirt is by causal connoisseur pal, they have a website if not stick it into google and there are a few stockists on line.

 

one of the lads who models their gear is a well know lad at St Mary's.

Ah cheers mate, seems it's a one off print from the Our Culture lot in sweden and out of stock. That's fu.cking annoying! I'll hunt ebay and see what it digs up.

 

You checked the blog associated to casual connoisseur, oneupmanship journal, some great pieces on there too though i think i'm getting an obssesion with Clarks desert boots at the moment.
