Why Football Drives Us Crazy.

Everywhere we look now in football there are millions of pounds being thrown around as if they are 1 penny coins. With all this money being spent the gulf in class between the 'Big Teams' and 'Small Teams' is widening.
Big clubs are spending ludicrous fees on players with what I must say good qualities. £20 Million for Stewart Downing, £12.5 Million for Connor Wickham, £33 Million for Alexis Sanchez and £28 Million for Fabio Coentrao. When you see then the likes of Roger Johnson, John O'Shea and Gael Clichy all going for extremely cheap prices one must question 'Are these over the top fees really necessary?'. We all know the answer to this question deep down and it is 'No' but we all know we love our clubs paying over the odds for a player because it creates a buzz around the club and around the fans.

An Arsenal fan, A team that would make any man cry out of sheer frustration.

A Reading fan after the disappointment of relegation a couple of years ago.

A South African fan after the 2010 World Cup where they became the first hosts to be knocked out in the Group Stage

A French Fan after the Agony of the 2006 World Cup Final Defeat.

We have all been in this position of anguish watching our team fail when we know that they are so much better than they are conveying. We know we will blame the referee or the Linesman or the Manager and we will say I'm never going to watch another game again. But in reality we know that we will be back complaining, shouting and celebrating the very next game.

So you may be excited because your team may have bought the new Maradona, Pele, George Best or Cristiano Ronaldo but people get ready for another roller coaster ride of a season.
