I think the timing of this thread has skewered the reactions. Bring in a forward like Berahino and a decent DM and suddenly we look very promising. At the moment everything is up on the air.Yeah, I realised the inherently ambiguous nature of the word could lead to that interpretation (some may say it was more apt, too), which is why I added the </or\> to indicate, in true semiotic style that the reader could add to the meaning themselves.
But hey, I have "Gullon Vitalday sandwich de avellana con avena y chips de chocolate/hazelnut sandwich with oat and chocolate chip" and 'America's Dark Secrets Declassified' on the Tele, so I don't really mind explaining that to you
I do agree with an earlier post about a general ambivalence towards football. To have any chance of real success you need your club to be big spenders, which, as with Oil Money FC, renders any 'success' virtually meaningless.
There's an interesting correlation between the decline in competition in football, and the rise of social media. I think a lot of people enjoy being able to discuss football whilst increasingly losing interest in the sport itself (as odd as that sounds).
For my part I'm not sure what I'm supporting these days. If Kane builds on last season he'll end up going. The new stadium won't elevate us above any current rivals. A new sugar daddy might offer trophies, but it would all be a bit empty.
Guess I'm just jaded by it all. I don't have a lot of enthusiasm for investing huge amounts of emotion into perpetual also-rans, and I don't really think I'd care much about us becoming another Oil Money club.
