I hate football. I loathe it. I detest it and I despise it. It represents everything I hate in the world. It is a children’s game played by grown men, followed by millions and treated as a religion by all.

They are fools who follow a dream. The dream is that your football team matter and that the team cares about you. They don’t and your support means nothing to them. The closest you are ever
