Football pet hates

"He is human!"

 

We've been watching Messi and Ronaldo for the last 15 years, have watched the likes of Xavi and Iniesta misplace about one pass a decade and commentators have taken to saying this about footballers playing at the levels we're used to. Mo Salah and Kevin de Bruyne misplacing passes and missing the target isn't that surprising.

Players wearing long sleeve underarmour with short sleeve playing shirts. It looks shit.

 

And if it is that cold, put a long sleeve shirt over the top of it.
 

Come to think of it, do long sleeve shirts even exist anymore?

Castore don't do one for the Toon - I searched high and low without success.

Even the keeper top is short sleeve only. Doesn't sit right with me. Still think a keeper top should have built in elbow pads.

Absolutely. Don't mind the club, just their fans are bell ends. 


Leaving aside the ideal that a club are their fans, that would make you a big fan of Sullivan and Gold? Or teams getting free stadia?

 

To be fair, I’m supposed to hate them.

'keeper tops were so much better when the designers were given free reign to do what they wanted. They're all plain and boring now.

 

Sampdoria have actually fucked the keeper shirt off altogether this season. At home, their keeper wears the away shirt and vice versa.

Wouldn't surprise me if the bigger manufacturers were looking at doing something similar. Look at those Puma 3rd kit abominations to see where they're all going with it.

Ner, like I think moving their stadium was fairly shite but at the same time will probably allow them to grow. Don't know much about Sullivan and Gold other than that. When I think of West Ham though, I think of a half decent youth set up, fairly attacking football and a passionate fan base. I just think their fans fancy themselves as football hooligans the most out of the Premier League clubs and generally sing shit songs.

Better still when the keeper himself designed it - just ask Jorge Campos :lol:

Campos was almost this mythical creature amongst my mates in the '90s. Back when we didn't have YouTube to check, I remember hearing something along the lines of 'nar man he's like 5ft 4 but he's that good that he's still the best goalkeeper in the world' :lol:

Unpopular opinion but based on numbers West Ham are the best London club outside of Arsenal. In my befuddled 92r mind they always brought a decent and loud contingent. Never minded them either aside from pink shirt mush and general Essex crack.

See it's funny, I probably like Arsenal, Fulham and Palace the most from the London clubs but their fans (Arsenal and Fulham's) are the polar opposite of West Ham, nee bite and utter shite :lol:

I really can't stand them either. They look at most 1% ok if it's a plan strip like Tottenham perhaps but for a striped strip like ours, nah. 

 

Ordinarily, long sleeve shirts don't exist any more, which is a crime but when Ronaldo signed for Man Utd this summer, by sheer coincidence Adidas introduced a long sleeved shirt for him, which is now worn by a few of his team mates. Player issue only though, as far as I'm aware - not that I hunt down Man Utd shirts.

The craic whenever we're waiting for anything eventually turns to the absolute worst like. The 'I heard we've offered them a curlywurly and a 20p mixup!' patter crime is as heinous as the Gregg's stuff.

 

Same fucking 'joke' every time.  Either a curlywurly or a packet of skips / discos.  Rancid.

Who was the PFM co-comm during the Watford-Spurs match complaining about 'an England player' getting instructions from the bench before coming on as a sub. (because an England player should know how to play or some shite like that)


Gary Birtles? He’s a right moaning cunt.
