Re: Been with your Mrs for 30 years and don’t love her.

There is something wrong with this season, and it isn't just the results. I've felt disengaged from the club, too many new faces, too many changes, I don't know. I do know I've missed more matches this season than in the last 6 combined. I'm renewing my season ticket anyway, a season in the Champio...
