The FA Cup Final was once an historic cultural event. People still remember Sunderland in 73 or Cov in 87.
Today’s game has the feel of a charity match. Two interchangeable lineups of foreign millionaires bankrolled by foreign billionaires. Empty seats. No identity. Yookay slop.
Right, you Reform voting fuckwits, here’s your leader, @Nigel_Farage trying to appear like an ordinary bloke down the pub with a pint in one hand and a copy of the Sun in the other.
Here’s a few facts for you.
1 He is the son of a well known stockbroker.
2 He was a Dulwich schoolboy.
3 He worked in the City for 18 years mostly as a commodities broker.
4 A billionaire has recently given him £5 million, others have donated huge sums too.
So, do really think he gives a flying fuck about you or your life?
No, of course he doesn’t.
In fact, you are little more than excrement under his feet and you are such a thick piece of shit you cannot even see it.
He is USING you.
I despair.
@michael_harv77 Aye, where was their fans then? Whinging on couldn't get a ticket for tomorrow, but not so long ago couldn't be arsed to follow the club, some prob didn't even know they existed. 12 or 13 turned up for one match around 11 year back...
@NE5westend Will this include ridding areas of feral folk clad in black tracksuits, hoods up and being generally anti social.....as big an issue as most.
@MikeS1892@geordie_w_bush The 'live football tickets' ,the want to be there to say they've been, take a few selfies etc, there are many of these now. We were taking pre match how we see less and less of the 'old' faces from Gallowgate...its different now,and that's a shame
@AdamYansley@Sewelld22@LeeDForster Worst season for atmosphere in my 45 years of going. Should be bouncing with 50,000 in it. Stale as owt these days....
