1) Manspreading
2) Sitting in the family section with no family...
3) ....and repeatedly swearing at the linesman.
4) Last-minute winners against us.
5) Crap Festive fixtures

 


Joe Hart looks angrier than a kid with no Easter eggs, David Silva looks like he won't smile for a week. Vincent Kompany has taken his shirt off and looks like he might just start a fight with himself. The visiting dressing room will be a glum place.

What's wrong with a female pundit? I don't care what sex they are so long as they (admittedly a low bench-mark) are better than Shearer.

 


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.

It's political correctness. Apparently we have to have female football pundits now, both BBC and Sky have them. What the hell do they know about playing at that level of football. You might as well have someone from sunday morning football on hackney marshes on there.
It was only within a year or two, that an u-16's boys team beat the Australian womens football team. So, it goes to show what their level is.

I don't have a problem with female pundits but have you actually seen any that pundit regularly? The only times I can remember seeing female pundits are Aluko on MOTD extra and Steph Houghton once when city played

1. Berating of officials by supporters who don't know all the 'Laws' and don't have the best sight line in order to form a judgement.
2. Constant standing in seated areas at stadia.
3. Foul and abusive chants/language in stadia.
4. People who constantly walk in front of one, blocking one's view, as they are returning to their seats after half-time.
5. Bland footballer's interviews after the game - hardly insightful at all.


THE REFEREE'S A w***ER!!!

 


Yannick Bolasie - Glenn Murray - Wilfried Zaha

Most exciting attacking trio at Selhurst Park in years.

It would be great if we can stay with the "man in the middle his decision is final" but we have come a long way since the days of footballers running a boozer when they have finished their career.

There is so much money in the game now ( not for the better )that one or two simple miscalls, could send a club down and cost them 100/200 million from the Prem.
Should have been a pen,wasn't offside when he scored,hand ball in the box,wasn't a corner then he scored etc etc

I don't know about what you say, if the trials of video technology have failed but we do need change,it works in Rugby,Cricket,Tennis...they have to make it work in Football

Indeed think back to 2005, and the 3-3 draw with Norwich, the referee had a f**king mire of a game, effectively earning Norwich a point (when arguably they should have been 1-0 down, and playing with 10, and later 9, men).

Those points cost us staying up that season. The knock on effect is that it also ended up costing Simon Jordan personally, as well as ultimately culminating in the administration of the club etc.

I don't see that as an issue in punditry. I'd rather have a pundit who can speak coherently, and comment on the game based on their theory of the game, rather than the billy bulls***ters that make up 90% of pundits who's only qualification is having played professional football, typically a long time ago (and usually having failed miserably as a manager).

Ok, you do need some input that relates to the game, but f**k me most punditry is like listening to children describing a painting.

In no particular order:-

1. Pundits. Especially Shearer. Boring.
2. Travel to and from matches - er 'cos there are crowds everywhere.
3. Same old top 6 clubs. Boring.
4.'Managers' who can't manage. We've had one or two.
5. Players who don't make an effort - often the ones who get paid most.

Curses that's 5 and I missed out the Seaweed and Clangerberk.
