Football pet hates

Is it actually possible for players not to perform some kind of egotistical, “silencing the h8trz” celebration these days? Seems like every other celeb is either fingers in ears, finger to temple, or just standing there stoic like someone worthy of idolatry. You’ve kicked a ball into a goal, not cured cancer.

Nothing red cards.

 

Fully appreciate why raising your hands is deterred and what not but, it's all just got a bit pathetic, hasn't it.

 

Edit: Just any embarrassing clowning about on the pitch. You're grown adults.

Using initials for players with Vs and Ds in their name. VDV will always be van de Vaart. Van de ven can piss off. I still don't even accept Van Dyk as VVD.

Will have posted this before but inspired by watching the lasses v. Birmingham, the way they go by 'blues' with no definite article

 

"Great chance for blues to equalise", "great start to the second period by blues".  Fuck off man.  Get your heads out of your arses and hoy a The in there.

Modern football often eliminating wingers running down the wing and hoying a cross in.

 

Boils my piss watching a winger have a chance to put a cross in but they either:

a. turn back and pass it backwards because possession is the most important thing in the world.

b. cut backwards because they are left footed and playing on the right for the 1/50 chance they’ll eventually cut in and score a goal.

 

I often think it could be exploited more with a combination of 5 foot nothing defenders like Martinez and modern goalkeepers unable to catch a football.

 

Plus my corner bets.

Conversely I hate “the” arsenal.

Same principle I reckon. Arsenal doesn't need an article, there's only one of them.  

 

That said I reckon it was originally used to fill the meter in songs by making it four syllables, so maybe it's not the same principle.

Seems to happen with nouns beginning with 'A' for some unknown reason.  Going to the Asda, the Aldi etc.  Never the sainsburys or the Tesco

I suppose it’s not much different from us calling ourselves the toon really. Probably coloured by my hatred of arsenal

I know I live a very closeted life since my retirement but I've never heard anyone from Newcastle calling us `the toon`

I definitely have, multiple times. Perhaps more common down here in London.

I guess that’s why you call them The Blues.
