Message to me from a WBA fan.........of sorts 23:13 - Aug 20 with 3247 viewskropotkin41

I'm a West Brom fan. Paul, you are a QPR fan. I've just seen yesterday's score (yeah, that's how much of a 'fan' I am). So here's a golden opportunity that most 'fans' would jump at. But Paul, I want to show solidarity with you instead. West Brom will never win the premiership, and neither will QPR. Back when I started watching football (1969, the Hawthorns, WBA 1, Nottingham Forest 1), anyone could win the league. If West Brom or Nottingham Forest had won the league, people would have said 'ooh look, West Brom / Forest have won the league'. If it happened now, people would say 'wtf - that's not supposed to happen. They're not one of the 6 clubs that are allowed to win the league, as they have one squillionth the amount of money that the big six have'. And that's what wins the league today (Leicester was an anomaly that I predict will never happen again)............

Part II...................

Capitalism has swallowed football in the same way that it swallowed the media, the government, our High streets, punk rock, Buddhism, everything (strange mix of things there, but you know, poetic licence). Paul, join me in saying 'f*ck you - the football industry will never get another penny out of me, or another shred of emotion'. I still love football, but not this kind of football. Nothing will ever prevent the corners of my mouth rising slightly when Wolves lose - some things go too deep (they were my father's team, which was the reason I became a West Brom fan). I have a dream - that village / street / neighbourhood football teams act as a nursery bed for town / borough football teams, who provide a nursery bed for city / county football teams that are owned by their communities, with players salaries capped at the national median wage (which will mean that tickets will cost about £3). Games will be filmed by the communities and streamed online, for free. Kits will be made by co-ops, and the proceeds will never leave their communities. Fans will start to drift away from corporate, exploitative clubs with billionaire owners and multi-millionaire players, with kits made by children in sweatshops, and drift to the new community-owned clubs. Dreams may not come true, but we can definitely give the finger to the corporate football industry.

Not ready, or sadly able, to give up caring about QPR yet, but I have to concede that his vision of football in an alternative form is pretty attractive.

When we were in administration I was asked 'if QPR went bust and vanished, who would you support?'

Do I really have to answer??

The Premier league is a vile cash machine that on occasions has the audacity to offer up what is loosely termed as football matches for the public masses dressed in their home and away scarves but sat in their front rooms staring at their 99 inch plasma screen televisions stuffing cheese and fcking onion crisps down their fat fcking gobs whilst shouting "keep the ball, keep the ball" the majority of these fcking robots couldn't tell you where Tranmere Rovers or even Northampton Town was.
Never mind eh? It wont be long before some bastard minge tells us how much cash the clubs who get promoted from the Championship will receive at the end of this season, it'll probably be in way in excess of £100 million.

A few years ago whilst driving to LR one Saturday and about a mile from the ground I saw Rufus Brevett in his car at a junction, I bibbed me hooter to let him go and clenched me fist at him and shouted out the window "You Rssssss" he gave me a huge grin and a thumbs up, no big deal I know but he was one of us or at least that's how I saw it, you do that to Paul Pogba and he'll probably scream.

You don't get that In the Premier League and if I'm honest I never enjoyed our recent times there, the relegations beat the hell out of me and slowly turned me against football.

Watching the freak show outside LR when the manure team bus turned up was unbelievable, nothing to do with football just a fcking freak show for tourists with their Nikon cameras hanging round their poxy necks.

Cash.

Modern football is utterly disgusting in almost every way. It's an almost perfect microcosm of how the world in general operates nowadays.

We need God or Aliens to wipe them out.

Completely agree Ted. We were lucky enough to witness the real game. Unfortunately kids now are indoctrinated by Sky that football is what they are serving up. What really gets me angry is the FA patting themselves on the back and saying the EPL is the best league in the World, while English football continues to struggle ( we lucked out in the WC) and while of course lining their pockets handsomely and bringing in more rules to keep the big six safe. They simply don’t want competition, they want a strong business model that sells Man U, Liverpool and CFC merchandise in Asia and America. They simply don’t even recognise the fact that football exists outside their golden fatted cow.

I'd rather go and watch Wealdstone, Harrow Borough, Hanwell Town or North Greenford United than go to a premier league game. And do. Regularly.

I would settle for the demon from the film Night of the demon to just tread on them to get rid.

I would have to agree. The yearning of kropotkin41's pal for a past age of fair competition is much more characteristic of Proudhon.
