blue44 has apologised and I’ve accepted it.

This is a story for another time but last year I had an emergency ileostomy to cut part of my bowel away as it was infected. It was cancerous. I’ve since had the all clear and am now a stoma bag wearing vegetarian.

I never used to understand how people could be so brave when undergoing this treatment and thought I’d crumble. You’ve just got to face it. It’s changed me considerably as a person.

Sorry to hear of your plight but a big congratulations for getting the all clear.
I really don't know what I would do and it terrifies me if it happens.

I used to want to watch football as much as I could and I would never need an invitation to talk about it. I would listen to/watch many programmes on the game. Admittedly, since we started winning trophies and the resulting reaction from the media and opposition fans, I have lost most of my interest and enthusiasm for the sport, in general. I find the reactions to our club and fellow Blues to be either ill-informed or agenda-driven, with the bile being mostly nauseating nonsense. Of course, I still love City, watch games and post here. However, I pretty much avoid everything else to do with the game. I now rarely reads articles about the game, I refuse to put on SSN or 5Live any more, very infrequently watch games not involving City and look to avoid conversations with football. I cannot even stomach the build-up of our games or the post-match analysis.

I used to be a football fan who loved City. Now I am a City supporter who doesn't like football.

I used to watch as many PL games as possible.
Now it would be rare that I watch one that doesn't involve City.
I'd never miss MOTD or MOTD2, but live games between Chelsea and West Ham, or Spurs v Liverpool don't really appeal to me.
I actually remember when it was a novelty a match on a Monday night on Sky and i never missed a game.
Blackburn v Chelsea with Tore Andre Flo playing - never missed a game. Suppose its part of growing up

Now I'd watch the odd live game such as United v Liverpool or Arsenal v United, but even if City were in a title race with another club i'd usually avoid watching it, or watch it until that rival team scores then give up.

I forgot to mention the officiating. It's at farcical levels now

If I was to expand on what I said, it would have reflected, pretty much, what you said.

You’ve pretty much exactly described my current relationship with football football.
