If you have been with Chelsea since the 70's.....todays team is a dream, even if they lose a few games now and then. In the 80's I remember Arsenal not playing Chelsea too often, mostly because they weren't in the same division.<br /><br />Sadly our hacks don't jump on the bandwagon when the side is doing well. Their idea of jornalistic independence and credibility nearly always means a predisposition to criticise, their attempts at irony are just spiteful mockery. Just in December 2007 we were 9th in primera.....and although not entirely to blame they were part of the undercurrent demanding "better play".....for flips sake....Real Murcia 9th in primera, and they still weren't happy. Coach Lucas Alcaraz felt the pressure, changed formation and tactics, and the rest is history....a slump that was impossible to get out of, the sack, and the disastrous year with Javier Clemente. And the crux, and what I bang on about, is that 95% of Spain support Real Madrid and Barcelona (local hacks included), where they can demand great play from great players.....they forget that they can't demand from their local lot in the same way. And if the team play well....it's the quality of the halftime sandwiches, or the traffic jam after the game, or the state of the pitch.....I've heard some really bizarre stuff (and the aforementioned are in fact true examples). It's like they feel that they have to be negative, otherwise people will say they are serving the club. Is it so hard just to report?<br /><br />Today in "La Opinion" who's hackette made the stoopid comment about Real Murcia being at their worst moment, and had been laying into Iñaki Alonso, tactics.....how boring it is, how we dont score enough goals.....they had the front to run an article blaming the cold weather for the lack of ticket sales to Real Murcia fans for the game in Jumilla tomorrow....this without the mearest trace of irony!Guirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975293595291533788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615770817995124203.post-67038989960603490072010-12-18T15:53:37.673+01:002010-12-18T15:53:37.673+01:00very interesting and very sad summary. Journalist...very interesting and very sad summary. Journalists too full of their own power. They could do so much to promote support for their local team. No doubt when we get back to the top flight, they will jump back on the bandwagon. Its not just in Murcia that you get this, sadly. the booing and whistling just cos your team havent won 6-0 again is just pathetic at premier league clubs in England. As a chelsea fan since the 70's I'm just waiting to see how quickly the tourists turn if they dont win anything this year. As far as top flight football goes, Qatar was the last straw. Its Gloucester and Murcia for me! PETEPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517350496848430015noreply@blogger.com
