And then stupid Merson opining we wouldn't have been relegated under him and Wham definitely won't be under him. How long can this fantasy go on?

Superior Acuña Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Don't see why the PL don't use the multi-ball system anyway. Whenever I've seen multiball in action it's been shit. As well as losing any saved time due to confusion over which ball to use, it's not uncommon for two balls to end up on the field during play. Not worth it.

Magpie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there's 14 other United's in the English leagues. Annoying how Man.Utd get referred to as the only one basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 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.

alexf Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah it doesn't bother me either the United thing. Only time it slightly irritates is when Sky or BBC etc are showing results and stuff and they don't bother putting anyone else's full name. Missing off the city, united, albion etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's been said a few times before, but this obsession with everyone; the media, pundits and even fans with players being at clubs and being touted for bigger clubs. We've had it with a fair few of our players over the last few years, but I just saw this on the twitter part of the BBC feed: "Perfect free-kick from Ross Barkley! Can Everton keep him long-term?" "As a Manchester Utd fan I wonder why Moyes thought Fellaini was a better transfer target than Barkley?" "Ross Barkley is a star in the making. Prodigious talent. England have a real player." "Give Roberto Martinez three-four years more experience, maybe even less, and I'd take him at Arsenal after Arsene Wenger retires. Top manager!" "I think Manchester United boss Moyes is chasing the wrong Everton full-back. Coleman would be a welcome sight in an Arsenal kit! Top player." It pisses me right off. Everton have just moved into 4th ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really right though. Within Manchester it's obviously always that way, but outside of Manchester United were United when City weren't in the same league, whereas the same rule of calling Man United just United (outside of the city) didn't apply to Sheffield United. They're always Sheff United, or The Blades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 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.

Guest chopey Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 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.
