A New Year and new hope for football fans around the world. I would like to take this opportunity to wish a very happy New Year to all SoccerNews readers. I want to thank you for reading and commenting on the site, it is really appreciated. We might not often agree, but we all share a love of this great game of ours.
So what do we all hope for in 2009? Here are ten things that I wish for:
That little list isn’t too much to ask for is it? OK, which of the ten wishes are likely to come true?
Sadly, I don’t think any of them are very likely really. I don’t mind too much though, because I love the game just as it is.
If Watford and Wilton Town were winning all the time I wouldn’t have anything to feel miserable about and we all love feeling miserable sometimes.
If referees got everything right and players accepted all decisions without question what on earth would we argue about?
If players stopped diving and cheating, what would become of great players like Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo 🙂
If the Premiership race for the top four was close and ‘outsiders’ did well in the Champions League, then it would make those who predicted otherwise, like me, look silly and we can’t have that can we?
If small clubs had more money and big clubs had less we would lose the glamour of the Premier League and I don’t think any of us want that to happen.
If the wages of players were reduced what would the gossip magazines have to talk about?
If route one and negative football were eliminated then the top teams would continue their domination of the game. It is great that a physical route one team can upset the likes of Arsenal. That is what football is all about.
So there we have it. I don’t actually wish for any of that. I just hope that 2009 is another great year for football supporters everywhere. More of the same would be just fine. Well, a couple of wins for Wilton Town would be nice…
