combined teams. Who gives a fk about your best XI formed from two different teams? Well I think this player would be better than that player and I can’t believe you’ve chosen him over him and blah blah blah. STFU

When your team becomes successful again and pundits who have spent zero time outside of watching Premier League football start giving their opinion on you.
EFL ‘teams of the week’. Someone gets paid to guess this every week. |  |

Add it to the list: Guardian Sport’s obsessive coverage of the Australian footy. A league? A league more irrelevant than MLS yet they’re forever tweeting about it. | |

On a similar theme any sort of unoriginal 'footy banter' I find really unfunny and tedious. That joke heat map of a player who got sent off not long after coming on wasn't very funny the first time I saw it several years ago let alone now.
Also on a similar theme, it seems people can't just enjoy a win anymore, as far as social media is concerned at least. People feel they have to rub it in, like getting one over someone is more important than the joy of winning (genuine rivalries aside of course). You forgive that sort of stuff in the moment but you get people going on days after the match finished ffs. |

That’s a good one.
Also “streets won’t forget” and then a picture of Adel Taarabt who nobody has forgotten. [Post edited 3 Jun 2023 13:46]

Yep, I feel this way about 'memes' in general really - the joke wasn't that funny the first time around and certainly not now after it's been severely run into the ground.
Obviously a lot of people who engage in that sort of stuff are just a bit dim (or are children) but I really don't get how someone sees something they themselves must have seen posted a thousand times before and still finds it so funny they have to send it to their mates who also still find it hilarious. Strange world. |  |

- MP’s/Royals/other toffs who claim to be a footie fan but have clearly never been to a game. Cringy.
- Glory hunters, as above who’ve never been to a game. There’s some Man City shirts appearing locally now. Probably never been North of the M25. |  | | |

FA Cup final special:
Those free flags and hats on seats to try and make it look like a computer game. In fact anything that tries to make real life look a game needlessly.
City's walkout jackets. Ugly, needless cash grab. Should be kits only for the walk out. |  |

Cup Final special addition.
That 'City., City. The best team in the land and all the world' song.
Gets right on my tits, especially seeing as I actually heard it sang in an IPSWICH pub when they played Real the other week. [Post edited 3 Jun 2023 15:05]

That being a penalty. Especially after a whole passage of play after the incident. | |

They did play together, but wasn’t it only a handful of times, less than 10? |
Can't have been often, Terry usually moved to left-back, St Etienne away being an example. |  | | |

The placing of the ball at a corner kick so that its clearly past the white line and outside the area. Then the potential faffing about with the lino about moving it back, if they can be bothered. Just put the ball in the corner area. You've got to leather it at least half the width of the pitch so why does it matter so much to sneak the ball forward 10 centimetres. |  | | |

Are you talking about Benjamin Bloom? If so I agree, very good.
I moaned about this the other day and nobody cared but I will moan again - the way they scribble a load of crap over the shirts when you play in a final to commemorate the event. Looks proper tat. If you must have something on the shirt to boost the provenance for collectors, just stick a little holographic sticker somewhere discreet. |
Yeah, Benny Boy.
He looks cool. |  |

Can I add the Guardian's slightly snidey coverage of football in general?
Except for the drawings of David Squires, who is a genius. |  | | |

FA Cup semi finals being played at Wembley. This makes my blood irrationally boil. Wembley should be the ultimate prize - no club should get a trip to Wembley for reaching a semi final, it's absurd - especially with the sheer number of high quality stadiums in the country now. As an alternative, I would accept semi finals being played in Cardiff at the Millennium Stadium.
People who count the number of Premier League titles clubs have won (by which metric Liverpool have won one title - never mind the 18 others or whatever it is). In fact, dating the birth of football from 1992 in general. | | | |

Premier League records. It's like there was no football before the feckin PL.. Record goalscorers, wins and bl@@dy 9-0 defeats ffs. Surely in the 100 years before the PL a top flight team was beaten 10-0 or more? |  |

On vloggers, I see our boy Griffin was at the playoff finals and, bizarrely, singing along with the Sheff Weds fans. Odd behavior. |
Gets the hits, and ultimately the cash in his bank.
But yes, very strange behaviour indeed. |  |

Old football fans who bang on about how great football was in the 70s and 80s whilst ignoring the mud pit pitches..and the hooliganism, and the poor stadiums and the hoof ball tactics. |  | | |

Mixed feelings from me. Anyone who says there haven't been improvements since that era is mad - particularly when it comes to stadia, as you say, with many of the old stadiums being disgusting and often downright dangerous.
But it was also an era where middle size clubs like Ipswich, Nottingham Forest, Derby, Southampton etc could, with some canny purchases, a good youth system and inspirational management compete for trophies at the highest level. And that's pretty much gone now, which is very sad.
(And yes Leicester, but that looks increasingly like the outlier that proves the rule) | | | |
