Referring to Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa as either just "Mbiwa" or "M'Biwa" with the unnecessary apostrophe.

 

It's like calling Ben Arfa just "Arfa".

 

Not really, one is 5 syllables and one 3, 5 is a lot and worthy of chop (that's what I say).

Nothing worse than having a conversation about football with someone that hasn't got a f***ing clue like. We all argue and debate on here, but there's a base level of knowledge for people on here.

 

There's a great number of people that have no clue and are just in it to wind people up or gloat and hype up on the back of victories, whilst knowing absolutely f***ing nothing about any team, including the one they claim to support.

 

Horrible when you've just met somebody and are meant to be polite and they trott out some cliche about us. Remember the whole ' trigger-happy, we got relegated cos we sacked the great big sam' s**** from someone, never gritted my teeth so hard.

The answer to that is to ask them to show you to point them to someone that they know that thinks those things. Obviously they'll have some weak link to knowing someone that says those things. People like that are generally easy to beat, but they'll hate you for it, which means they won't talk to you again, or just say things solely to wind you up. In the end you've won. We know that no one thinks those things, it's just about knowing how to trip them up on their thoroughly shit argument.

Definitely, it's the same reason why I try not to let things like those few sad, arsehole Villa fans make me think that all Villa fans are sad arseholes. We're experienced enough in having shit talked about us to realise that other teams have shit talked about them, too. There are obvious exceptions like. It's hard to ignore that there is a huge proportion of Man United fans that are glory hunting, know-nothings, and that there are a fair few Liverpool fans that have a undeserved sense of entitlement.

The Other Games thread and the like...every week.

 

'Oh, look at team X winning a game after playing in Europe'.

'So jealous of the way team Y play'

Etc

 

We get it, Pardew's shite and talks shite too.

Some people really do revel in dragging everything back to him.

Team Y do play mint football though, despite them losing to team X after team X's game against team F in Europe.

Still think team A will beat teams C and D to the league title though.

 

I know...shite banter.

Well tbf he did tells us last season that he cant play the football he wants or compete properly because of the Europa Thurs/Sun schedule, fatigue, tiredness, lack of preparation time.

 

Yet we see other teams proving that to be nonsesne to an extent. Might be why we point those things out. There is some merit in what he says but if he didn't say it every chance he had, and bullshit so often, have such a small time mentality, maybe he wouldn't get as much stick.

 

Actually think his mouth is as much to blame as anything else.

Could be because he's the manager of the team we all support. Just a thought.

 

So its impossible for you to comprehend a discussion about football without mentioning him?

Managers putting their new signing on the bench for no reason. Why play Jelavic over Lukaku? Or Anderson over Fellaini? It's not like they're new to the league.

 

The Fellaini one was just daft. He brought in a player who hadnt started in about 6 months over a new signing who had played every game so far. Unsurprisingly Anderson was dogshit

:lol: that's exactly what I said. Funnily enough watching a team disprove one of the reasons we were told we were shit last season , tends to go back to the manager

 

If you actually read it you would understand we all know it and its not necessary to constantly repeat it ad nauseum hence the point of Nuts post.

 

Edit: And its the polar opposite of what you said ffs :lol:

This lad at work, 28 years old, has literally just started following football. Got himself a Leeds season ticket this year and goes with his mate, and knows nothing about football. Like f*** all. His whole football life started at the start of this season, and now I'm getting "Good result for you boys at the weekened. Yorkshire, Yorkshire"

 

:anguish::anguish::anguish:

 

For a start, you're from Yorkshire, so your opinion on football is already very f***ing questionable before you open your mouth. Then there's the fact you've chosen to support Leeds, 28 years in to your life, and actually talk about them. Any other Leeds supporter I know is wise enough to steer clear of conversation about their shambolic club.

 

Now obviously with this f***ing game on Wednesday it's all he talks about. I just want to reply with, "You don't have a f***ing clue and it's like keeping a kid entertained talking this utter drivel".

 

There should be a rule for 'new' football fans. Nee football patter with any normal football fan for at least 2 years. And if you get told to shut up, know your f***ing place and shut up.

 

Got a friend like this. He has a Norwegian team, but not yet decided (!!!!) on one in PL. Right now it's Tottenham and Arsenal, with Man City on the side. Gets angry when I don't take him seriously.

Good. Keep doing that. :thup:

I don't mind the Leeds guy tbh. At least he's chosen Leeds and not one of the usual suspects - and goes to their games.

 

Most of us were probably lucky enough to have family and/or friends who got us into football as kids. I'm not going to have a go at some poor guy who didn't have the same luck - unless he then chose a big team rather than his local team.

 

I'm not saying that talking to these guys isn't a fucking massive chore sometimes. Imagine what it's like over here in the US, where pretty much every footy conversation I have is like that.

Yeah true, I usually go with the "that's only what sky sports news etc portrays us as" but it's probably more useful to question exactly where they have heard that from and like you say give an example of a supporter they know that has those opinions.

 

Tbh peoples ill informed, want football opinions are massively up there in pet hates for me.

 

Always got the "hahahahah fat crying geordies when you got relegated" remarks.  Asked them to show me one from TV footage.  They couldn't, other than this one well-used image because very few actually did cry.

People referring to the team Sevilla as 'Seville'.

 

What about people calling Internazionale "Inter Milan" or people calling Sporting Club de Portugal, "Sporting Lisbon"?

 

Don't get me started. People calling Milan "AC". It's like saying "FC". Wtf? "Football Club should be doing this." What? Any particular football club? Would you care to specify? My gears have been grinding for a long time on this one, Sporting Club de Portugal being another fave. And indeed Internazionale. Dammit, I think I need a holiday.

 

In Sweden the pundits often call the Champions League just "Champions" (because Zlatan said that once and they want to live in his rectum). Makes me wanna jump out the window ffs. That's like calling the Premier League just "Premier". Premier what? Premier cunts. FFS
