Good on the tele, shite to actually attend. I'd go along with that tbh. When your team plays on the Friday night, it makes Saturday feel like another Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 There’s a growing trend over the last few seasons of relegated clubs seeking sympathy because “people will lose jobs”. While I have every sympathy for any individuals who caught up in this, it feels almost absurd when it’s said about clubs that are raking in hundreds of millions through TV revenue and parachute payments. If a Premier League club like Southampton are being run so incompetently that a relegation means that they need to sack the kitman, you can’t help but think the club need some lessons in managing their finances. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyro Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Watching the under 17's Euros the things I hate regarding football is many and doesn't seem to be going away. Bunch of diving, soft prima Donna's who spend more time rolling about for nothing than actually playing. If the guys I played with at 17 caught me rolling about after getting hit in the face from a ball, I'd never play for them again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Computer games have given millions of amateurs access to facilities to set up teams and formations etc that didn't exist before. I couldn't have told you a 443 from a 442 during the 70s and 80s and it didn't matter because no-one else could either. Now I have to listen to people who will tell me "Pep got it wrong, if he'd gone with a false 9...blah blah blah." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merkie84 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I would argue it matters even less now. The team that wins is generally the one with the biggest income, regardless of what formation the manager employs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The thing I hate about football is people who think that tactics don't matter just because they can't tell the difference between a 4-3-3 and a 4-4-2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I was just listening to a couple of Arsenal fans on SSN there ruminating about Declan Rice, which has prompted this post. I have not got much time for random supporters, usually podcasters, going on mainstream media channels as a 'voice of the fans' during or after big developments. It is usually when there is a notable signing, a manager is sacked, or a manager has just been appointed. Sure, I don't have to listen and all that, but almost without exception they offer no meaningful insight whatsoever and it is essentially several minutes of pointless filler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
