When players start going for each other and the commentator witters, "nobody wants to see that sort of thing" when in reality EVERYONE likes to see that sort of thing.

The Mirror's Premier League top-scorers list, which includes goals from all competitions. The title of it is "Top Scorers: Prem" and it has Van Persie top with 9, and Suarez second with 8. A quick check of Wikipedia has RVP and Demba joint top with 7 each.

Watching a match on tv (Everton v Liverpool) and Sky thinks it's a good idea to have an inset on the screen showing the Man United players arriving at Stamford Bridge. WE DON'T NEED, OR WANT, TO SEE THIS SHIT FFS!

When commentators proclaim a "fantastic save" when the ball is smacked against the keeper from a metre away

 

:thup:

sometimes it is though, schmeichel was fantastic at it, he'd block space in a way other keepers, even those the same size just couldn't do, other times it aint mind.

Krul is pretty good at making himself fucking massive when he's one on one as it goes

Definitely. That against Sir Les stopped us winning the league.

Keepers throwing themselves on the floor instead of using their feet/legs to save a shot. In a lot of cases it's far easier and quicker to just stick your leg out than dive but still they dive. They'll have been programmed to do that from an early age.

Probably of the mindset that your body is much bigger than your foot so you are lessening the chances of being caught out by a bobble etc.. (pure guesswork).

Problem with using your legs to block shots is it often goes straight back to where it came from or into a danger area. If you dive there's a chance of catching it or knocking it out to the side.
