5. Owners ruining clubs with their stupid expectations (thankfully not us)

3. Diving and pundits that condone it
2. teams buying success
1. Ticket prices

5. Ignorance as 'banter'. Unless its genuinely funny
4. Fans who've never been to their teams home ground
3. Kick offs that aren't 3pm on a Saturday
2. Financial distribution of wealth in the game
1. Pundits who's only qualification is having played football.

Christ just 5....


5. Ex pros who always support players no matter what
4. Sky looking for any tiny controversy to blow up
3. Not giving youth players a chance
2. Fans that still haven't moved out of the 80s
1. The constant blame culture on Refs

 


The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years

The bloke behind me moaning
Fans who have moved on from the 70s/80s
Full stadiums making it difficult to stand near mates
New Brighton fans
Not being able to book cheap rail fares for away matches in case the match moves

Two seasons ago my biggest gripe was water, or what I hoped was water, occasionally dripping on my head in the Holmesdale. However, it seems to have been fixed now.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Five Things I hate about football currently:-

1. Match rescheduling to suit everyone else except the fans of the respective teams involved. Supporters always come last!!

2. The indecision on going ahead with'Safe Standing'
areas within grounds despite supporters standing in
seating areas for years!

3. Extortionate fees earned by players agents / management companies in connection with transfers. There should be a worldwide set fee sanctioned by FIFA irrespective of players transfer value.

4. Lack of ambition by the FA and Premier league to want to modernise / progress. They need to clear out old members and have'time limited'appointments to keep their boards revolving. Fresh and reflective of current, modern and innovative thinking.

5. New TV and media contract The money is incredible but it's suffocating the game and opportunities in the UK for home grown talent under the weight of the money.

In no particular order:

5. The way the TV money is shared out
4. Incompetent officials
3. The power the PL have over the FA
2. Owners (predominantly foreign) screwing over clubs
1. International Breaks when the season is three weeks old

 


the dignified don't even enter in the game

1. Owners who have no knowledge on the sport nor even been to a game who distroy clubs.
2. Fans of the big 6 who are disrepectuful to fans who support medium or smaller clubs.
3. Journilist who make up ridiculous stories about clubs and who think they know it all.
4. Ticket prices
5. The sheer number of fans of the big 6 in South London. 😠

The first 5 things which came to mind but there are so much more I could include..

1. Fa cup semi finals at Wembley
2. Cup final not being at 3pm anymore
3. The way we are moving to 7 day a week fixtures
4. The way it's like a rugby scrum and takes well over 15 minutes to get a drink and something to eat at half time. Start to get pissed off with the 'match day, experience' after a while.
5.can't plan travel or accommodation in, case a fixture is moved

Five things I hate about football:

1 - Foreign owners who don't really give a s*** and foreign investors thinking they'll make money out of football.

2 - The notion that some clubs are 'big clubs' and therefore somehow more worthy. Just f*ck off!

3 - The Premier League for undermining the very foundations on which the top of the pyramid is built.

4 - Players wages (and agents fees) which are totally out of control. No player is worth more than a fireman or a nurse but we'll pay them silly money anyway.

5 - Sky for inventing football in 1992, they really f*cked everything up!

 


Cynic or realist? It's a fine line!

1. The notion that everyone is only interested in Manchester Utd, Liverpool and Newcastle.

2. Why every premier team is not forced to give £10 million to Be put into a fund to be split with all the other clubs. Or to give £4m to Championship fund, £3m to first, £2m to second and £1 to conference.

3. Referees who think it's all about them.

4. The Arsenal/Wenger saga that rears its ugly head every two years. Can't wait for the next riveting installment.

5. Mark Hughes and Stoke City.
