!979,the year i really started to get the buzz of football.The league cup home game v stoke,the home game v Arsenal and the away robbery v Wolves.I then left school and with my wages started watching the town every home game get shitter and shitter culminating in a loss to Newport and relegation to the old 4th division.But no the buzz was still there,hero's left Ken Beamish came in but i still had hope,i got angry,embarressed and frustrated,the crowds were poor but still with life and then we appointed my god Lou Macari,there was hope,interest,pride and a name not a nobody.After the sham of his sacking and rightful re-appointment the town kicked on.These were the best times for me,promotions,cup runs,successful play-off campaigns,interest crowd increases and an atmosphere only compared with the DiCanio period,I wish my boy could have experienced it.Then came Ossie with his diamond midfield and our travesty of demotion with a play-off winning team which would have easily stayed in the old Div 1.On to Hoddle great times again with the unforgettable play-off final,it was such a blast.The premiereship was for me The best,being beat by the best is bearable compared with being beat by third rate crap.Then the freefall,with a few brightlights it's mostly been hard work watching the town.The bobble at Wembley could have changed our history,Black pulling out when in my opinion we would have won L1 and the worst performance in a big game ever against Preston left us in the boring third tier.
The brief season of the Spurs youth team playing the right way was pleasing on the eye but still way off getting out of the shit pit.But they have long gone but the club insist on playing the same way with non league rejects who are so far out of their comfort zones.Opposition know how to combat the little threat we have and wait for us to implode on our pass sideways pass back football.
then there's England,just like watching the town,boring,slow and kamikaze
At least there's the premiership but i can't be bothered to watch every team play like the think they are Barcelona from 5 years ago.Even the champions league is unavailable unless you have Bt
In conclusion...Football is shit.

STFC are shit. But shit happens. We've a relegation battle in front of us, how good will it feel if we avoid the drop?
Apparently it's 25 years ago that Jack Walker, took on Blackburn having made £300 mill from his local steel company, and in his dotage resolved to return Rovers to their pre WWI eminience.
This set off a chain of events whereby Tim Sherwood could captain a Prem winning side, yet sit alongside Lee Power, who appears in the same crap club owners article as the Venkys.
