All dead balls on FIFA have not been the same since FIFA ‘03. That represents the peak - using the second thumb stick to provide spin. They’re more or less a waste of time now. It’s such a depressing state of affairs that I find that my penalties are akin to the old amateur Corinthians side of the late C19th - early C20th.

wormy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I love pens this season tbh. Mainly because it's been dumbed down to fuck which is right up my alley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEFAFWISP Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Let's be real, he's right, women's smaller brains just aren't cut out for top analysis, that's why I prefer listening to Matt Le Tissier and Paul Merson deep dive into Eddie Howe's gegenpress.

The idea that the average woman can’t understand concepts that Paul Merson can is fucking crackers, like. I’m not sure when the last time was that a pundit of any type pointed out something that came as a revelation though. Which is why I’ve stopped listening to the cunts altogether, and simply do something else at HT. The idea of turning the coverage on more than a couple of mins before KO is also a no-go.

This isn't something that person needs to work on. This statement (and Keegan’s comments) is clear evidence that it’s something society needs to work on.

Lotus Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 What's surprising is how soooooo many men actually believe they have some sharpened insight into the game simply because they're men. Or they've had a kick about on Hackney Marshes and now they're supremely positioned to understand every nuance of the game at it's most intense and technical level, all simply because they've a pair of balls that, probably barely swing betwixt their underdeveloped pins . Most people, and therefore most blokes can barely even scratch the surface of what's involved in a huge sporting enterprise like a Premier League club. Yet we all, me too....post in pages and pages of threads about it. Are any of us genuinely qualified to appraise someone who's been employed to give analysis on the game at it's highest level?

We can’t make any comment on the experience of what it is like in any way shape or form. But it is also very likely that many will have seen more football matches than many of the ‘pundits’ who share their views with us for money. And I genuinely can’t remember the last time one of them offered insight which was truly revelatory. ‘He should have done better there’, or ‘the referee needs to apply common sense’, or ‘the centre half struggles against pace’ tends to be about the level of insight offered. Meanwhile the Dutch used to get Cruyff talking like this: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more amazing how some men, who've played 5 a side at Eldon square and 11 a side at Blakelaw pitches, think they've got some insight Eddie Howe hasn't grasped yet.

loki679 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I wonder if just general day to day life comes into it at all. I'd imagine most men talk football with other men and quite rarely talk football with women in the office or pub or wherever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
