This is the least interested I've ever been. I love the club, our history, the Liver Bird on my chest and Anfield, but the game itself is dead in my eyes. A weird bubble outside of reality that is alien to most of us, run by multi billionaires and played by multi millionaires. A sad reflection of the perverse, corrupt world we are all forced to live in.
Fair Play rules are a joke. Rampant, government approved, sportswashing. Refereeing is either at an all-time low standard or corrupt. Some might argue it's both. Inane, biased punditry. Miserable, dour commentary. Agendas galore. Play acting, tactical head injuries, time wasting. Away ends that range from childlike adolescents to putrid, disaster and poverty loving morons. Having to welcome European fans just to see some quality in that small corner of the ground.
It's not lost on me that the game is seemingly at its most popular now it's reached its lowest, dumbed down point. Again, a reflection of the society we now live in. Quantity over quality. Cost over value.
I can't remember the last English match I watched that didn't involve us. That's a major turnaround from the days when I used to look forward even the Charity Shield and avidly watched the FA Cup Final even when we weren't in it. Someone who also used to go to reserve matches too.
I hate the way the game was stolen from us then sold back to us at vastly inflated cost. I'll always love the club though, and that beautiful red Liver Bird.
