It's the ones from West Sussex that really get up my nose.

Seeing some of thse lists has made me need to make another one.

5. Sky Sports
4. Players wages and transfer fees
3. How the premier league is essentially a business and how they have no respect for the real fans of the game
2. Plastic fans especially those who will slag off other teams but know f*ck all about the club they claim to support and have never been to one of their games
1. Sky Sports

Oh and did I mention Sky Sports?

1. The Murdoch Empire. All of it, especially Sky & the papers. It's the root cause of many of the game's issues around money, fixtures, big business, lies & buls**t etc.

2. All-seater stadia

3. Lack of accountability for Refs, officials, the EPL & FA.

4. All games should be played at 3pm on a Saturday or 7.45pm on a Wednesday if absolutely necessary - no concessions just because you're in some competition or other.

5. Fees, wages & agents costs.


(for the purpose of this exercise I've assumed that Alan Shearer is a given).

 

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Actually, I only have one. When players (such as Gareth Bale) do that heart shape with their hands after they score. When any man does that he ought to be made to wear knickers and paraded through the street on the end of an electric cattle prod.

Whilst I agree that they shouldn't be there, you missed a great day out. I don't agree that Spurs should be playing there either but I'll be going there next season.

 

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.

Are you really thinking we get a bad deal in TV money or do you think lower leagues should get much more so we would get less?

Originally posted by Y Ddraig Goch

In no particular order:

5. The way the TV money is shared out
4. Incompetent officials
3. The power the PL have over the FA
2. Owners (predominantly foreign) screwing over clubs
1. International Breaks when the season is three weeks old

1IVING, feigning injury and time wasting
2:New stadiums and lack of any sort of atmosphere
3:Players having no feeling with their club whatsoever and playing solely for the best bidder
4:No youth development at all, though that is a particular English side of the game. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, poach a youth player from the continent, buy, buy, buy, what do fans want...buy, buy, buy, buy. In a significant amount of cases substitute buy for waste.
5:Jose Mourinho

1) Agents, taking shed loads of cash from the game and deliberately unsettling players on a regular basis in the hope of a cash wind fall.

2) Sycophant pundits with their heads buried up Pulis' derrière refusing to acknowledge that he is a proven lying deviant.

3) Banal, carbon copy, post match footballer interviews riddled with tedious cliches.

4) General click bait bull sh1t speculations about transfers and manager appointments with not an ounce of truth or fact.

5) Gary Linekar's smugness.
