The Premier League gets talked up far too much tbh. You're probably looking at half the league that some folk would describe as not good enough for it.

 

Related to this, the idea that no club is good enough to win the league. "Arsenal won't win the league because X." "City won't win the league because Y." Until all 20 teams have been ruled out.

 

At the end of the day, somebody's gotta win the damned thing. :lol:

Don't understand why that annoys people so much tbh. We get referred to as "Newcastle" & "Leeds" because we're one-club cities, whereas with Manchester, you can't shorten it to "Manchester" for obvious reasons, so United & City get used.

in those cases it doesn't bother me. however put anyone in my way who calls them "united" in a game against them and us or leeds utd or sheffield utd etc etc and I'll swing for the bugger. as you say, you can't shorten it to sonmething that means both "united" in this case.

Probably been mentioned many times before but when, on various TV shows like Goals on Sunday, we're referred to as Newcastle. No United. And Manure are constantly referred to as United. We are Newcastle United. It should be law that the full title is always used.

 

I can see why ManU being referred to as United irritates, but I don't need us referred to as Newcastle United. I say I support Newcastle - there is only one, and it represents my city.

Football Pet hate at the minute...................Tim Sherwood, he's never managed a club at any level and he is now more or less demanding the Spurs job, he comes across so arrogant in interviews, thinks he's some sort of tactical mastermind because of his 50% win ratio.

Yeah, plus the whole media boys club plugging for him is so fucking irritating. It just smells of the 'we know better' thing they have. Plus, admittedly I haven't seen anything of the game yet and they still won, but his lineup against Southampton was ridiculously naive and lacking in cover.

This doesn't bother me as such, cos there's always ways to see your team's highlights from the weekend, but BBC moving MotD2 to tonight is a bit of a piss-take. They haven't done it for any of the other clubs' Monday night games (I don't think). :hmm:

Commentators slagging off (usually foreign) players in the winter for wearing gloves and/or long sleeve shirts.

 

How dare they keep themselves slightly warm in December, should be running around in Speedos iyam!

People talking about luck in football. Especially when referring to own goals and deflected goals.

thats easily understandable but the "luck" of last minute goals makes me angry.

I hate stuff like Robbie Savage just said. He said Everton were magnificent but that Sunderland's game plan worked to perfection. If Everton were able to create so many chances then it obviously wasn't a perfect game plan. I wish pundits would say something intelligent instead of judging everything on the result.

We went 38 games lucky, crazy that, would almost think some had an agenda.

Annoys me in reference to a team getting lots of chances but not scoring. It's not bad luck if you keep getting through on goal but not scoring - a critical part of football is being able to take advantage of the chance.

Motd last night, our game had 6 goals, 2 red cards and 2 penalties and we were 4th in the order? I know it was stoke who no one is really interested but I can guarantee that if Man United vs Stoke or anyone else had finished 5-1 with a few sendings off then it would be on first, pisses me off
