Football pet hates

The women’s FA cup final being today.

 

Personally I’d love for women’s football to be bigger. But when they schedule it for the same day as a round of men’s league games your going to massively reduce the amount of people who will go and could potentially keep going.

 

The fact that they wouldn’t even move one of West Ham’s games so that fans wouldn’t of had to choose between going to see the men’s or women’s teams is ridiculous.

Thing is it’s impossible to get around having a clash with the men’s teams with so many games these days. The best option they could do is have the women’s teams play in the summer. Even then with pitches being relayed etc, it would still be quite tricky.

Women’s football would be a bit more interesting if they made the pitches and goals smaller.

 

And tighter kits aye?

 

Pretty sure he’s got women’s football mixed up with midgetball.

Teams like Ajax told they have nothing to lose like in big matches like tonight when they probably have more to lose because they don't have the money like Liverpool and Spurs have to consistently be able to keep a squad together that can consistently challenge for the Champions League.

When Liverpool fans write about themselves. Somewhere a creative writing course is missing a bottom set, the way they self-aggrandise is really annoying.  The below is a genuine example from RAWK

 

———————————————————————-

 

And when our opponent pauses, in the flurry of his youthful intensity, that’s when we plunge our hidden knife deep, deep, deep into a heart that was just not broken enough to fight men like us.

 

And our hand of death, in twisting the knife, will show every bit of the hard-won skill and ability which lies behind our ruthlessness.

 

The crushing embrace of inevitability overcomes them. An Icarussing of our opponents: “Who were we, to reach so high? Did we really dare to raise ourselves to the redness of that Liverpool sun? How nice to have flown, but how inevitable that our pale wings should melt, and we should come crashing down into the sea, here, where it’s cool. Here, where gravity doesn’t pull us down anymore. Here, where we belong.”

 

We do that not because we are cruel – but because this is not a game to us. This is not a beautiful journey. This is who we are. This is what we do.

Take away the first word in that post, leave the next two then take away the rest and you're spot on.

 

A little to add on that my nephew stayed in Liverpool last week. Fireworks going off all night next outside of Barcelonas hotel.

When every fucking fanbase pretty much rips off a team’s song within a few weeks.

 

Yup.

 

Happened with the Mbemba song and now it’s that Liverpool one. Also Palace and all their duh duh no words shite.

Celtic’s ‘just can’t get enough’, ‘xxx’s on fire’, etc.

"He has no right to score from there"

 

Also commentators using "gorgeous" and "delicious".

 

Commentators who try and turn every match into some sort of story, rather than just describing the action, Guy Mowbray on MOTD does my head in with it, probably a mackem.

The unashamed media love in of Liverpool.

 

Watched motd last night, soon as they went to their game... 'ahhhh Anfield, the ground where impossible dreams are made slightly less difficult' or some such bollocks.

 

Just fuck off.

Wish they’d decrease each country’s CL allowance from 4 to 3, 3 to 2, etc.

 

No issues with the format or even multiple teams in the CL from one country because I think the CL should be viewed as the bigger competition, but I do think there should be more countries represented at the group stage.

I'm sick of all this whingeing. Nobody complained, in the 90s, when we were the media darlings. The mdia impact on the game has major issues

but taling about talking points isn't one of them. Although too much fucking talking [to fill the gaps between commercials] is one of them.

Supports York. Used to the commentary on Sunderland for Metro though.
