well this is it, we DONT have to pay that

We're paying overpriced tickets because English football is fashionable. If less people went to games then the clubs would charge less. Who cares if that meant they couldn't compete in Europe? I don't give a f**k and I suspect that 90% of football goers feel the same.

I can't wait until the public falls out of love with it and the droves of foreign mercenaries f**k off. Maybe then we can resume some semblance of normality. Probably never happen though
