"We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to football training, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our coach would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt... And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you."

Oh dear, I'll proably be shot down for this but, for probably the first time ever, I agree with Mr Harris.

Yeah, the article is full of generalisations but, in my experience, a fair bit of what he says there is right on the money....

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

What has not cankering Time made worse?
Viler than grandsires, sires beget
Ourselves, yet baser, soon to curse
The world with offspring baser yet.

A Roman poet wrote that 2,000 years ago, and since then moaning about how things were much better in the Good Old Days has never gone out of fashion.

This. What a twat of a man. I was chatting to my dad about this article and he was saying it was the same when he was a kid; "John couldn't come to training today cos it was cold and he already has a bit of a sniffle" etc.
