Is modern top level football a bit boring? 17:52 - May 15 with 1018 views | Dubtractor | Its a point I'm sure I've made before - but just seems to be teams cancelling each other out. 36 minutes into the cup final, and almost nothing at all has happened. | |

Is modern top level football a bit boring? on 17:59 - May 15 with 952 views | Steve_M | Fitness levels and organisation have improved immensely over recent decades. If teams play well off the ball then there’s not a lot of space. That’s very much the case here although Chelsea have nearly created a few chances. It’ll open up a bit more as players tire. It’s similar in the Championship, the space that Burley’s teams had, let alone three or four reliably weak teams, just isn’t there there any more. | |

The better teams regardless of fitness levels will always have extra time and find extra space. It’s simply due to the fact that a lot of teams are too scared of losing | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I think Man Utd have had 8/9 0-0’s this season, we are basically a top 2 Premier League side. | |

Is modern top level football a bit boring? on 18:21 - May 15 with 780 views | Herbivore | Cup finals are generally cagey affairs. I remember loads of dull ones growing up in the 80s and 90s. I reckon 1-0 is probably the most common FA Cup final scoreline. | |

Can you please keep to the script - modern football and modern football fans don’t have a clue. If you remember that then you can add in phrases like ‘tin pot’ and ‘proper’ for extra bite. Surprised a regular poster like you doesn’t know this. | | | |
