When good players that you want to see more of choose to play in inferior leagues for the money. Hulk is the most recent example - destroyed teams in the Portuguese league, constantly linked with premier league and big Spanish teams but ends up in bloody Russia.  What a waste!

Completely agree. Win the league in a tin pot racist league, something to look back on I suppose.

Conceding possession from your own throw-ins

 

We do this all the fucking time too. Basically whenever we get a corner or a throw-in, it's possession to the other team. We'd be better off putting it into touch ourselves and trying to steal the ball off their throw-ins...

listening to bbc radio 1. and they're discussing if Bale is the 3rd best player in the world, fucking ludicrous.  :lol:

 

Nope, he's THE World's Best Player. Stupid BBC.

It probably is if you're Italian, with an Italian accent and mannerisms.

 

 

Eh? But if that's how it is pronounced then surely the more annoying thing would be to pronounce it incorrectly?

Would you expect an Italian to pronounce your name in the same way you would? It just sounds weird when people break the natural barrier of their dialect to pronounce a foreign name.

 

Smoggies pronounce "A" as "air", Southerners pronounce "fast" as "farst", it's not exactly the same thing but it works the same way, the Italians just add a weird "A" sound to some things.

 

I don't think I would ever be annoyed at a foreigner pronouncing my name wrong, I would find it awkward if he was deliberately breaking the flow of his sentences to speak it in the correct manner though.

I wouldn't expect them to, but I think I'd think it would be a nice try.

The flapping your arms about, almost crying and stopping teammates celebrating that players do when they score against former clubs.

Yes, though the worst is the really forced ones where they clearly want to but think showing you're happy to score against some club whose supporters barely give a damn about you anymore, see Sturridge against Man City. I mean really. I can understand it perhaps if Raul scored against Real Madrid or something, but anything less...
