If true then then football certainly dead...

Neymar agrees five-year PSG deal

Apparently 20 gazillion gazillion £££££££€€€€€€€€€$$$$$$$$$ $$$$

Sky has also managed to shut down a large number of live stream feeds for this coming season.........I for one would not pay to view unless I was actually going to a game......
Thankfully....I still listen to most live sports on the radio.....far better in my opinion.......

There use to be a load of green fields around where I grew up in the early 70's...with a river and hills........it is needless to say a housing estate today. The children in our area have nowhere to play except one small 30 yard by 10 yard wide piece of greenery.....very sad.
But just like those green fields when I was younger....I am glad I watched MOTD and followed WBA back then....because the game I grew up with has evolved into a monster today.. I have happy and sad memories of supporting WBA...but importantly I didn't need much money to enjoy my pass time...not like today...

I think I will begin to keep an eye on Stourbridge as well this year......

We have two big parks areas within 100 yards of each other in Pedmore/Wollescote.

As a teenager in the 70's we'd race to get there after tea at this time of year and it'd end up as a 30 a side free for all,absolute chaos but brilliant fun.

On the main park now it's empty apart from the ocaissional dog walker letting their dog have a s h I t.....no football,cricket or rounders now for kids unless "organised" FFS.

The other park does get used by the Asian community from Lye but they do not seem keen for anybody else to join in.

The Neymar fiasco is the tip of a huge disgusting iceberg and cements my decision not to bother with a season ticket.

Last night me and three mates went to watch Stourbridge's pre season match away at Sporting Khalsa at Willenhall Towns old ground at Noose Lane,a crowd of about 120 with most of those Stour fans.

100% commitment from both sides and no diving and pretentious bull s h I t.......brilliant value.

Saturday is our last friendly away at Hereford FC and we'll take 200-300 and I'll bet the crowd is 1500+.

A lot of you don't know what you're missing by not going to watch local football......give your local side a try.












Unless it's Halesowen!!

I watch local football occasionally when not following the Albion away.

Dare say you'll see he of Grorty Dick fame there, Simon Wright.

Didn't have a lot of time for many of the Hereford supporters who were in attendance at Boldmere a while back.

Some of them genuinely seem to think they're the Man Utd of the lower Leagues.

I just thought most of them were female parts, genuinely obnoxious tosser element.

Hope you smash them .

We had the Hereford lot up our way (Evesham) back end of last season giving it the big un'! I said to one of their Lad's what are you gonna do when you get somewhere where they're waiting for you!

Same when they played at little Lye Town and at Alvechurch and at many other little clubs,they have a terrible reputation.

How sad when you consider they'd folded and started from scratch,you'd think they'd be so grateful to have a team to watch.

They seem to have a "Billy Big B o ll o x" attitude in the minor leagues rather than embracing the experience and appreciating the ethos at tiny clubs who in many cases are run by volunteers and frequented by a lot of elderly and small children.

Like you say Evo....there will be a time when Milwall or the like will be lying in wait.

The traveling 200+ Stour fans are fully expecting the possibility of trouble on Saturday.

Very sad.
