Football died a little bit more last night. A victory was struck for the corporate game and another puppet appeases
its super rich foreign master. He has won another game in the casino. This was nothing to do with London, nothing to to with Great Britain and nothing to do with the competitive game that football once was.
Most small children don't know about work, loyalty, soul etc, they only know they want more more more. They don't have any substance beyond that. They swear allegiance to the next bag of sweets. These are the kids that supported recent trophy winners when young. Some though understand slightly beyond it. They say "no" to the impersonal, unattached, anonymous
"association" that affords their insecure selves an illusion of self importance. They support their local team. They do it because it is a real cause not a work of fiction. The Russian master can uninstall Championship Manager now. Game over.
To be fair, it isn't Chelski fans' fault that they were selected for soul extraction the way they have been. It is unfortunate. Hopefully FFP will work in future to make the game meaningful again but right now that point in time seems an awful long way away.
