It's excellent that we are in the final, but..

I just can't seem to get excited about it!

In my 20's and 30's I would be down the pub cheering on the lads, or even making the effort to travel and be there! But something has completely made that excitement disappear. Is it the money the players earn? It could be, but then again, in the old days of Gazza and Robson and co, they were all earning lots of money.
Could it be the whole TV media thing or too much social media coverage, the WAGS, The Commentators (Matterface spouting to much statistics).
I couldn't even tell you what clubs some of our England players play for, when back in the 80's I could name every 11 players in every team that plays in division one.

Give me a win at Oxford United on the first day of the season over a win on Sunday, any day of the week. OTBC!
