Talismanic aging strikers holding sides back.

West Ham connection. Alvin Martin cracked them as well 

[On the Grid]

People who get over emotional over pundits and commentators they don't like

Not having that at all 

 

Listening to Clive Tyldesley commentating on his beloved Man Utd is worse than listening to your mam and dad vigorously skuttling when they’ve got home drunk from the pub whilst you’re sat in your bedroom quietly doing some late night maths homework

Yup Wham had a few penalty blasters.

 

[Pablo]

Troy Deeny and Chris Wood always had a good go at destroying the back of the net

[GideonShandy]

Substitutes touching the grass with their hand and then making the sign of the cross as they run on.  Seems like they all do it these days.

 

More annoying than Bellingham grabbing his crotch and almost as bad as that Turkish idiot who got suspended for the "grey wolf" sign.

G. Southgate.

 

Stutter pels.

[Dr.Spaceman]

Number one for me is still "Ooooooooohhhhhhhh, you're shit, aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh" from any number of small clubs across the football league. The day we do that at SJP my season ticket is being deleted 

[huss9]

"your support is fucking shit".

[Lazarus]

Joelinton against chelsea last season was a great blastie

We always had ‘doooooooodgy keeeeepah’

[Pilko]

Whenever there's either a streaker or a massive scrap and the cameras pan away from it & the commentator says "Ah, nobody wants to see this, what a shame" etc.

 

I reckon almost all fans want to see it

Early to mid 00’s there was a bloke in the Gallowgate who would do “dodddddddddgy keeeeeeeeepah” solo and his voice was louder than a space shuttle taking off from Cape Canaveral

 

It was a crease

While some of it can be valid, writing off every player link because they missed a big chunk of a season and being written off as injury prone.

 

Can only imagine what stuff we'd have seen in 1996 about Shearer.

Some deep, dark repressed memories there fella. I bet you can still hear the slap of ballbag on backside. Like Vietnam PTSD.

Doubt many will agree, but people who hate showboating. Looking back, the stick Antony got for that spinning thing in the Europa League was shite. Seen a couple of clips previously where it's came off, so fuck if the pass was a couple of yards off in the end?

 

We're at a stage now in football where there's little flair left and it's all about athleticism and playing to a system. 

 

Think another example in the last year or two was Richarlison doing something and him getting clobbered off some defender for it. 

 

The likes of Antony and Richarlison likely spent hours on the streets learning their trade, after training practicing new skills, etc. now, it's all about not losing the ball and it's sad. These are usually the ones labelled "lazy" as well. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised if the stick Antony got has had an affect on his mentality not to play with flair anymore. Just pass to the full-back or closest centre-mid. 

 

There's no individualism any more. Think I put in the General Euros chat a couple of weeks ago, I think Neymar is the last of a dying breed. We need more of these not fewer. Bring back showboating, and so fuck if it's taking the piss out of worse players. They could have been at that level too if they'd put the hours in.

Well Antony can get fucked either way ad I hate everything about him as a player.

In general though I agree with you. Quite like that clip of ASM doing 10 step overs for example

 

Reckon you'll like this, even if its 11 years old and from the Swedish league if you like a bit of showboating

It's not normally taking the piss out of worse players, it's taking the piss out if beaten players (see Kenny Wharton V Luton Town)

Ah, sod them. They've earned that right by twatting them on the day. If a team does that to them in return when the roles are reversed then fair game. We want to be entertained.

Watch it on YT, the Luton players took it on the chin, didn't lash out or anything. Bloody hell, that Newcastle team had it done to them enough times and not to be all Max Boyce (Google him) about it but "I was there".

[Jaqen]

Anthony mainly gets the piss ripped out of him cos he's a massive knacker to be fair. Stuff like giving it the bigun after the Coventry pen win where they conceded 3 to nearly throw the game as he came on as a sub that did nowt. Or hiring a personal photographer to capture his pre planned goal celebrations and then scoring one all season. 

 

He's scared to even take on fullbacks most of the time so doing a pointless trick with nobody in 15 yards of him and then kicking it out of play did look daft to be honest 

 

I rate showboating when it's done actually beating defenders like Neymar used to get stuck for though.
