Turns out I can complain about it!

Have you ever read the book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”? Turns out, I don’t have enough F’s to give about the Prem when United are not competitive. That’s mainly what I’m complaining about. I want United to make it worth my time to watch soccer again. I’m fully admitting that soccer is a fringe sport for me. I watch when my team gives me a reason to watch. I’m just saying I miss watching games that I can care about. It’s been like 8 years of not being able to watch EPL. It’s just crazy because 10 years ago I wouldn’t miss a game and would have even said soccer was my #2 sport. Crazy how far it has fallen from my radar.

I will also say that I have a theory that in the USA I think soccer fandom might be a younger person’s thing. Just my perception, but it seems like when I was 23-30 I was obsessed with the game and so were all of my friends. Now in my 30’s is seems like none of my friends care anymore. For me, I thought it was because United suck, but maybe I just got older? Not sure if this theory is real, but I am interested to see if my passion for it would return if United were good again.

    Suck it up man. It's 90 minutes. Fast forward to the first goal if you have too.

    I hear you. But why would I spend my 90 minutes on the EPL when I will just be disappointed? I would rather just watch some random Bundesliga game or an F1 race in that same 90 minutes.

    Crazy. That said, Liverpool are supposed to be good, so I am more surprised by them. United sucking is nothing new at this point.

    I taped the Liverpool game and watched it whilst posting last night and I did a triple take at the score.

    Huh? What? Is this the Liverpool game? Aren't they supposed to be good? It was a hockey score when I deleted it.

    I cannot believe Manchester United are giving the #7 shirt to 33 year old back up striker Edison Cavani. Poor, poor transfer window.

    Nothing surprises me at this point with them. Pathetic. Maybe they will get relegated

    Well, I was way, way wrong about this. Cavani has been very good so far.

    With all these young American players with talent playing in Europe it's going to be awesome when we win the 2026 world cup.

    Good game.

    You ever notice if you are a soccer analyst all you have to do is say quality at random times and you're good?

    We’re getting a bit better again. Small steps on the road to recovery but Michael O’Neil has us well drilled and disciplined. Once the crowds come back I can see us having a go for promotion again maybe 21/22 season?

    Happy new year to all my friends over the pond.
