my club my view

Don't know if i have the time to make this a long entry, got a little less than 20 mins to finish this.

Same as every other year, the season is drawing near, and with that comes renewed faith and belief, that this would be the year that we lift no.19. "This could be our year", i've heard it so many times already, but i never got sick of it.

The acquisition of robbie keane is an exciting prospect, though i suspect that he'll take sometime to settle. There's some worrying signs while watching the pre season friendly with i can't remember which team, but we beat them 4-0. Still, i hope they'll gel every day since then and well, what can 1 pre season game tell? The massive overhaul of the academy system seemed to be paying off now, and some people just don't realise the work that rafa and co. has been putting in.

Read some forums and realised that some british are also worried that the sport is on the decline. It's quite interesting, since i've never really thought about it. To them, it's part of their life, and for them to say that their love for the sports have been dwindling is quite worrying. The money that's going into the game is just crazy, and many feels that footballers are detaching themselves from reality, from society. They are not part of the society anymore, living a closed doors lifestyle due to the intense scrutiny of the media(and some crazy people some are).

Strange that we, or maybe it's just me, that we don't view these footballers as humans. They are like something that appears on tv every weekend, and with their names on the jerseys of so many people in the streets. Many are also worried that these people gets their characters and personality questioned because of how well they can control a ball on a field. I guess that's the price they have to pay for the international recognition.

Oh well, hopefully this season i have something to cheer about.
