I remember The FA Cup during the 1970's when I was gowing up, in particular the finals of '76, 77, '78 and '79. I loved FA Cup day, and all the crap that was shown on TV, in particular Jimmy Tarbuck and other persons of that ilk. I sat in front of the TV anxiously waiting for kick-off, kicking a rolled-up pair of socks in the hall to expend some nervous energy. And when the cup was passed to the winning captain, I ran outside and dreamt of scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup Final by kicking a ball against the wall in the back yard.
It now appears that our leading clubs see The European Champions League as more important than the FA Cup, and all its history.
On Radio 5 Live this morning I heard talk of a global club football league.
I hope this shows how far the game of football has come, and how it is slowly being used to erode passion and interest in national and international competitions to be replaced by a global club league, in which a nation's population do not support their national squads, but instead support a handful of 'local' clubs in international competitions, i.e. England supports either MUFC or Chelsea as they travel the globe to play in a global league because they are 'English' clubs.
As a supporter of Manchester United since I was three years old, I was highly suspicious of the Glazer take-over when I heard that JP Morgan Chase were involved in their bid. The debt incurred during that take-over explains why MUFC fielded an inferior team, concentrating on the game in the European Champions League instead. To pay off that debt the club needs to win big competitions, and the richest is the European Champions League.
Hence JP Morgan Chase, with all their globalist connections and who now employ Tony Blair, are driving our top clubs to ignore the history and prestige of the English FA and instead chase money, money which JP Morgan Chase can create in abundance through The Federal Reserve to save humanity, but don't.
