Hi guys,
After 25 or so years this is a rather difficult thing for me to say. And I hope people will be somewhat understanding and forgiving.
After 25 years of being a Manchester United fan I think it's time for me to accept that I am no longer a true United fan.
In truth this process started even before Fergie left so is no reflection on how bad things have gotten. This process started with my love for football fading and then in time United.
I rarely watch United these days. I never watch any other kind of football because quite simply the enjoyment just isn't there. I watch football and I find myself bored. At best football to me is background noise now.
And I guess my realisation is complete tonight. Because instead of reacting like this to a United loss I am doing it following a United win. A very good and key win by all accounts. A win that puts them right in the thick of things especially with City potentially facing a champions league ban and 5th position perhaps being enough to qualify this year.
I'm not happy. I don't find myself pleased that United have won. Don't get me wrong I don't wish that they'd lost but simply I just don't feel anything. Not the way I do with my American football team. The passion just isn't there.
I still enjoy talking with you guys on here even though most times I'm negative. Perhaps this realisation will give me a new balanced view on things.
I hope I can continue on here and even as a mod but I understand if that just doesn't fit.
