The state of modern football 09:14 - Dec 19 with 1783 viewsdmm

Here's a good summary of the state of the game we love so much by the always excelllent Jonathan Wilson: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/dec/18/newcastle-v-manchester-cit

His final sentance is sad but true.

Yep, sums it all up for me I’m afraid.
I’ll not be watching a minute of next years WC even if England make the final, it’ll be my 1 man protest that won’t make a jot of difference but it’ll make me feel better.

Make that 2. Not been interested in the WC since the corruption scandal and the awarding of a finals to Qatar.

The grass is always greener.

why is it fans and many in media KNOW the game is struggling yet prem league and sky sports think it's all wonderful?
i hate motd rarely watch it, they are too smug. many fans complain of ko times, picked for tv not travel or our convenience!
for me, the only options fans have are protests which can wreck a club or boycott.
why have dulwich hamlets, slaford and fc united gained popularity, even afc wimbledon? maybe cos not run by corporates or billy big balls!

They're also much cheaper and you can probably go at short notice.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

And perhaps this will be a good result of it all..



Personally, I have little or no interest in the WC. However, I have been to two U17s and one U20s WCs and the lack of large crowds, the more relaxing atmosphere and the unpredictability of the scores made those so much better to watch. It is like the above twitter, the non-league is taking advantage of the mess at the top.
