Football pet hates

Co-commentary is a specialised skill like. I think Carra and Neville are good pundits, and Shearer's fine too, but all of them are awful on co-commentary because they're too eager to analyse things on the fly which is usually alright but often distracting and can wait I reckon.

 

Much prefer just having someone likeable and emotive when it's in the moment. McCoist is probably my favourite because he ticks both those boxes well.

I might be wrong but I get a feeling that it's perfect for creating a wall of noise due to everybody singing slightly out of time with each other. Most songs are obviously like this but the way the rhythm increases kind of adds to the effect.

Ive seen people complaining about this before. 
people do realise that its not Hey Jude that is sung don’t they?

its, ‘Na na na nananana, nannana Geordies, (traditionally a few claps, then repeat). 
its been sung by Newcastle fans at the match since before I started going in 1980.

Aye I know that but it’s not a north east song or idea … and it’s done by too many clubs and it’s literally annoying and shit also…

 

if it was once in a while then aye ok but moving on up then this every game is boring

Robbie Earle was my favorite co commentator. Now he’s a pundit in the States and he’s awful. Really awkward.  Jim Beglin’s probably my favorite now. Used to love Tony Gale but he doesn’t get as many games as he used to. Know a lot of people hate him on here but I think he’s great.

Never noticed that, and don't think it's been played or sung for the few games I've been to in person.

 

Can't unhear it now though after listening during the intro for the Arsenal match :lol:

The first time I heard 'Hey Jude' 20 odd years ago I thought "oh, it's the nananana geordies' song".

European finals were always on a Wednesday until they moved the CL about 10 years ago.

One of my first proper memories of watching football was watching the Heysel disaster in 85 unfold live, they barely cut away from the stadium. Half bricks bouncing off Italian heads, hoards of fans running rampage across the terracing, walls collapsing, absolute carnage, they showed the lot. I was 9 and went to school the next day utterly baffled

Same here. I was 7. Still have really vivid memories of watching it live on telly.
 

It scared the bejesus out of me.

A growing pet hate of mine has to be this whole 'fake foes'. That's a new phrase that I'll coin.

 

Social media and the subsequent ability to spew any old bile onto a web page has not just football fans, but people in general, just bickering for the sake of bickering like.

 

The way Villa went on with us was utterly pathetic, creating a rivalry that never previously existed. Now Everton have had a few of their arsewipes having digs about us earlier in the season, loads of our internet following seem desperate for them to go down.

 

I mean sure, it's amusing to see underdogs prevail, big clubs go down and experience what we have, etc. Sure, Pickfords a thick mackem charva, they don't like Benitez and several of their players are tits. But really? I'd rather focus my time and effort on us than these like, or Villa or anyone for that matter. Focus on being the best then none of these matter. That's why champions are champions.

 

I mean there's nee harm in laughing at your actual rivals from time to time, but making up new ones is just like... Meh

The Everton rivalry isn’t just from this season it’s been like this for years. Our fans react because after a certain amount of time ofcourse you would

For me football is all about little rivalries, holding petty grudges, wanting certian teams or managers to fail/lose. 

 

Similarly on the other hand I'll watch teams who Ben Arfa plays for and hope they do well, was buzzing when the Gas won 7-0 the other week. 

 

Watching every game as a pure neutral would make it a lot more boring.
