OK, you asked for this.....its a bit heavy but......
I was a Chelsea fan before Chelsea became a business OK?
I have an inbred hatred of Business to be honest. I am a socialist, an "old school" Socialist. I have strong principles. I absolutely detest capitalism therefore, i detest any organisation that promotes capitalism. Even though i have enough of it, I dislike money. Yes I do, wierd as that might sound to people. I dislike what money does and what people will do to get it. I am a dying breed within this greedy immoral and degenerate society, i realise that. I have lived long enough to witness much corruption in all quarters of life to know one thing. Where there is money, there is corruption and immorality. Those 3 ingredients dictate life in this day and age. Society has evolved into one of triviality. People are driven by a selfish desire for oneself. The important things in life now seem to be money,flash car, flash house, an unexplainable, almost hysterical infatuation for something as trivial as a mobile phone and the wonders that it can do. Society is shallow and insular....Heavy huh?
I was a football fan when it was just a game, a sport. To see how it has evolved is disheartening to me. At the same time though, i am still a Chelsea supporter. Thats something I just cannot do anything about. I do not agree with the aggressive way that my club now moves. At the same time, I still enjoy the success my club might have. After all its still my club. Sounds hypocritical? Not really.
I have said many times that i would never EVER want Chelsea to join an organisation like G14. They are typical of the sort of organisation that i detest. UEFA are another, and FIFA are another. The entire football world is run on backhanders and bribery and elitism. I dont want my club to be part of that. I can't do anything about it of course but just continue to support my team. Thats not to say that i agree with the way the club is run. Those are two completely different things. I will still be a Chelsea fan if the bubble bursts tomorrow. I dont hate other teams who's clubs may be in G14. I do think there must be another way to combat the greed of UEFA and FIFA without forming yet another similar organisation though. Fans of G14 clubs take any detrimental comment about G14 very personally though, as if they themselves are actually a part of their clubs involvement. I never critisize the teams or the players or the fans, but i do single out the clubs, because its the clubs who keep organisations like G14 alive. Why defend it when in reality, we know that its just another moneysucking organisation for a select few.
I have never used any conspiracy theory as an excuse for Chelsea failures. That is an assumption made by others. Of course G14, UEFA and FIFA are corrupt. Only a fool would say otherwise. There is much evidence to support this as we all know. Most people just raise their eyebrows at the stink and then forget about it, and if you happen to support a club that might benefit from these shenanagins, then you are more likely to want to close your eyes to the truth. Thats what i mean when i say that morality makes way for selfish desire. Thats an example of the way people think nowadays. I am a cynic. I distrust everything. I know what is right and what is wrong and i do not support anything that compromises my beliefs or my principles.
Thats it really. Simple and in a nutshell.......... :funny:
EDIT: Anything i might say about the Arse does not count. They are the one club that, for many reasons, i have always despised. That is not to say i despise all their fans though. Although i dont have any time for the tossers of course. ( you know who you are).......hehehehehe
