Such a huge gap between these clubs, players & the general supporter nowadays. There's no relationship or mutual respect. Its gone too far.
Seriously considering cancelling my membership & jacking in going to Anfield next year. Its like being with a bird and knowing that its going to end in tears but you still going back for more as you cant help self punishment.

Wouldn't blame you if you did. Football is becoming a soap opera, which in turn has massively affected the general support. Non- league or lower league football is the future for me .

Real auld arse here.. When I was a lad...we were proud of the successes of early teams - but they actually meant f-all to us. Fortunately, we watched the 60's -70's onwards teams. We had a connection and a huge pride in our players. Most saturday nights in the Punchbowl, Sefton, we could have a respectful laugh and joke with reds and blues. Our heroes were regular blokes who liked a pint and some banter with us mortals. The only difference was that they earned 10 times what we did. we had mercenaries - Lawro being the worst. But most of they players and still are, part of the "us" that LFC is. They still talk that way. To many of today's crop have no connection / affinity / loyalty to the club.
Just doing a job. 18yr olds earning what the rest of us dream of earning. And disrespecting the fans and the club as they do so.
Don't suppose it will happen, but fuck the past. Build with players who WANT to be here.

At some stage player wages are going to be have to capped otherwise ticket prices are going to be out of control. It's the major cost these days for top level clubs and if they all worked together wage inflation could be stopped.
