1) Manspreading
Joe Hart looks angrier than a kid with no Easter eggs, David Silva looks like he won't smile for a week. Vincent Kompany has taken his shirt off and looks like he might just start a fight with himself. The visiting dressing room will be a glum place. |

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Apparently we have to have female football pundits now, both BBC and Sky have them. What the hell do they know about playing at that level of football. You might as well have someone from sunday morning football on hackney marshes on there.

THE REFEREE'S A w***ER!!!
Yannick Bolasie - Glenn Murray - Wilfried Zaha Most exciting attacking trio at Selhurst Park in years. |

It would be great if we can stay with the "man in the middle his decision is final" but we have come a long way since the days of footballers running a boozer when they have finished their career. There is so much money in the game now ( not for the better )that one or two simple miscalls, could send a club down and cost them 100/200 million from the Prem. I don't know about what you say, if the trials of video technology have failed but we do need change,it works in Rugby,Cricket,Tennis...they have to make it work in Football Indeed think back to 2005, and the 3-3 draw with Norwich, the referee had a f**king mire of a game, effectively earning Norwich a point (when arguably they should have been 1-0 down, and playing with 10, and later 9, men). Those points cost us staying up that season. The knock on effect is that it also ended up costing Simon Jordan personally, as well as ultimately culminating in the administration of the club etc.

I'd rather have a pundit who can speak coherently, and comment on the game based on their theory of the game, rather than the billy bulls***ters that make up 90% of pundits who's only qualification is having played professional football, typically a long time ago (and usually having failed miserably as a manager). Ok, you do need some input that relates to the game, but f**k me most punditry is like listening to children describing a painting.

They're selected for the * click * NO CARRIER

In no particular order:- 1. Pundits. Especially Shearer. Boring. Curses that's 5 and I missed out the Seaweed and Clangerberk.
