Football pet hates

Sky's new pre match graphics. Luckily the only s*** one we have is Ayoze's, but some or them are pure :anguish:.

 

Gayle's isn't much better. :lol:

Can't remember it. Probably a good thing. :lol:

 

Stands with a ball under his arm and one finger held up (not Alli style though that would have been class).

Urgh. Should just have two arms behind their backs. Radgey and good players do the same but frown a tad.

 

What's Alli style?

The growing trend for commentators using the word "gorgeous" when describing a pass or a good bit of play.  Just a bit too camp for me.  "Quality" or "brilliant" would suffice.

 

It's the single worst word in the English language.

I like delicious precisely because it's creepy. Some day someone will describe a ball as succulent as well. It has to happen.

Players going mad at opponents who they think have dived, when they know very well that they have team-mates who would do the same. Only they would be a streetwise professional rather than a cheat.

I thought this about Justin Lockwoods half time bantz about there being some lost property found, a pair of diving swimming trunks with the name Shaqiri written on them. Bit rich after Merinos histrionics last week imo

More than a few pundits, even Rafa himself (probably because everyone in the media keeps telling him we are) talking of the fans now thinking about Europe. Even if it's in jest you know the intent is there to recycle the idea that we have unrealistic expectations.

 

Happens all the time with us, where the media declares we are thinking, saying, or doing something that is completely wide of the mark, the rest of the country believes it and tops up their 'deluded Geordies' meter.

 

Obviously ultimately it doesn't matter what others say or think, but it's definitely a bit of a pet hate in football for me!
