Stats. 4minutes into the game between Man United and Arsenal a stat of 88% of the fislrs half had been played in Man Uniteds first third. 4minutes in. What the actual fuck is that all about. At half time "Arsenal have never led at Old Trafford at half time in the Premier League and twice when they took the lead in the Premier League they didn't win. So fucking what man. It holds absolutely 0 bearing on today's game you whoppers.

Miercoles Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Got to love the historic records too, Newcastle are 7-4 against the West Shropshire Roveringtons, having last played them in the old second division back in 1958. Or like, Newcastle hasn't beaten the Roveringtons in almost 50 years (they've been in different leagues for 49 of those years). Fucking great.

Heron Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Exactly. It's just like needless sensationalism. I think it was John Gwynn who used to commentate on radio 5 live and he could honestly make beanals on toast sound like a 5 star meal. He was absolutely class. Then you hear these muppets on here.

bobbydazzla Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Normally I just mute the telly and listen to tunes but is it Amazon who let you listen without commentary Cos I’m bang into it when they do I swear down I find Clive Tyldesley more unbearable than any other sound in the world.

Boey_Jarton Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Rival fans pissing on another team's chips whenever they do anything remotely successful. Particularly when it is a non 'big six' team. E.g. Villa on verge of qualifying for champions league and all the noise is about how unsustainable it is. Perhaps, but they deserve it, much like we did last season. If you can't enjoy the relative good times in football then what's the point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan to begin with but for some reason it's worse for footballers. I don't mind the odd one occasionally but it seems like it's every fourth player we are linked with has a double barreler. Bring back the good old days of Chris Bart WIlliams and then no more until Shaun Wright Phillips appeared. Proper petty rage of mine. I'm looking forward to the 2040s when Ward-Prowse-Dewsbury-Hall dribbles past Walker-Peters-Loftus-Cheek. Hopefully I'll be dead before the 2060s when Calvert-Lewin-Gibbs-White-Ward-Prowse-Dewsbury-Hall puts a penalty past Alexander-Arnold-Oxlade-Chamberlain-Walker-Peters-Loftus-Cheek.

We’re not supposed to let them enjoy good times If they're fresh chips, like Villa's this year, I don't think they should be begrudged enjoying them for a bit. It's only when the chips have been around for a little while and gone stale that they need pissing on IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
