I miss jumping on a Eavesway coach for £6 with your mates and paying £14 on the gate to get in the Standing Kop end back in the day, cant even get a ticket theses Days not that I'm bothered, the games eating its self from with in..
I think managers are under too much pressure these days as well, im sure a lot of them would love to play that free flowing entertaining football but if you play that way and lose 4-3 every week you're getting sacked within a few months. I think managers feel limited in what they can do. Its such a results based business now that tactics have suffered because of it. The tactics are too cautious and boring now, just my opinion. Great show again lads, enjoying these
The true spirit of Football is with fans like those on Davo Diaries- brilliant Birmingham City fans who live for their team and the pure sense of camaraderie on their party bus on their away days! They didn’t care that they were getting beat each week! Iron Army brilliant fans, following Scunny Yep lower league is were it’s at.
The game is played and managed by stats/maths/percentages and sports science . Also Every club except Liverpool and Madrid copy pep’s football. Playing out from the back and everything’s inverted nowadays. Also I feel like football culture among the fans is changing it don’t help with no drinking in the stands , a lot of tickets sold for tourism, everyone seated and just happy to be there, It’s not just a deer day out but a hard one to get tickets for don’t get me started on the ballots ridiculous system
Remember also when international football was interesting? Different styles of play. Now it’s very homogeneous. Wouldn’t you say that Pep is a direct descendant of your man Cryiff? Total football? For me it’s price! It’s ridiculous what fans get charged. I know it was Champion’s League but the Villa charging stupid money from fans was simply robbery. A real insult to real men and local hero’s like Gary Shaw! Getting rid of standing was the end for me. I supported Everton; family connections. Goodison is shit now compared to the 80’s. Watching Carlisle and chatting and mingling on a terrace is brilliant. The worst thing is we get blasted by shit music at top volume instead of being able to sing our own songs! Watching a local team is way better Footballers were indeed MEN though! It doesn’t have to be a macho thing; I also enjoy Ruby league- the players continue to be real men; respect for the club, the town, the fans and camaraderie for each other. Petro-state money is bollocks! Were are the local players? There’s a disconnect with fans and clubs. Yep CORPORATE is exactly it!!!! I would’ve loved to support Wimbledon or Stoke! Backs against the wall, fighting the power is pure fun! 1-0 to the Rugby team! Good laugh.
Pep is a disciple of Cruyff yes, but the last couple of years he's gone to a different level where he's implemented a slower,more predictable style and it's clear to see. Cruyffs teams played a hell of a lot quicker and he's main aim as he always said was to entertain
I find it hard to get emotional about £100, 000,000 players when some weeks I ain't got £100.00 in my ass pocket ha ha It's the same old story though, money rules & ruins wherever it is, music, football, business, science, whatever really, the advertisers & sponsors reign supreme, that's the modern world unfortunately, it's fake to me really, corporate garbage, I don't want to drift off onto music, but that's the same now in the charts, it's just not music, it's soulless, maybe that's it, football has lost it's 'soul' hey?
@@FootballTheDadstalk as for back in the day you could take a team from the lower divisions to the top like what happened with Leicester now you’ll be lucky just to avoid relegation because how much money is in the game
hi im from USA and i watched the premier league for the past decade and now i find it extremely boring. Premier League and even more so and especially the Champions League are a total snooze fest. You couldn't pay me to watch Athletico Madrid in the CL or watch Arsenal vs Brentford. Its just so extremely boring. Recently ive done alot of research into the lower divisions and have been playing football manager, i decided to start watching West Brom and ive watched every West Brom match this season... i find the culture and spirit of the English Championship to be much more fulfilling and entertaining at this point. Ive just sat through 3 0-0 draws with West Brom and i dont know what do say about that. I also was able to watch a lot of Birmingham matches last season before they got relegated, and now im watching Wayne Rooney with Plymouth... theres just something so more more endearing and fulfilling about these aspects of "soccer" compared to watching Man City and Liverpool for me personally.
What big leagues haven't squeezed some of the creativity out of football? Not La Liga, not Bundesliga, not Serie A, not Ligue 1. Maybe MLS in America is looser and allows more individually creativity but you probably hate that league. International football is even more rigid and sterile. Just support your appropriate lower division club, get your authentic experience, and quit winging like crybabies.

Non league is more passionate and it means more to most fans
totally agree mate, only gutted i didnt realise sooner

Agree with every word mate including the music,that's also lost any sort of quality and character
As Ben Arfa got mentioned that goal against Bolton Wanderers 😍
I think Tj mentioned him yes lol

@@LiamK1998 exactly mate the divide is only getting bigger ,The Leicester story was amazing
Take away the January window, salary caps, and add more relegation spots
Great shouts mate
