Theres another issue that is quite nauseous and devaluing the game. After the last few games, and its not just Chelsea, opposing players hugging and joking with each other in the tunnel and doing the same at the end of the game. Each match bordering on a training exercise. They all know each other, and seem to treat win lose or draw as a joke. Social media to blame. Whatever happens on the pitch, theyre fabulously rich.
I dont want to see players kicking lumps out of each other ala Roy Keane, but the rivalry has gone, and subsequently to a certain extent the passion and value to fans. Potter, and many managers fit this anodyne version, getting a bit boring
