Things you won't miss about the Premier League 15:00 - Apr 2 with 3456 viewsDubtractor

On the basis that we're all accepting of our fate now, let's celebrate the loss of things we won't miss.

VAR
The Premier league anthem
Day tripper fans who moan all game then leave on 80 minutes

What have you got to add?

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Can we also do away with the firework things as we come out onto the pitch, please?

That's more something you hope you won't miss.

Watching us take the lead against teams that seem to be nothing special, only for them to create a few bits of magic (or us to make a few infuriating errors) and then the game has gone, as our opponents destroy any play left in the game with sh**housing.

Blatant exponents of Gamesmanship - two that stick especially in the mind are Cucurella, and that other clown at RB for Brighton (Veltman?), along with any number of others. I suppose the counter to this is that if everyone else is at it, so should we be - but to paraphrase Brian Clough, we might as well throw all our medals in the bin if we go down that route. What's the point?

Condescending pundits & commentators - starting with the smug MOTD crowd, and moving downwards in almost any direction you like. We're not as good as Liverpool - who knew? - yet a plethora of ex-professionals get paid a fortune to loudly tell the nation this every week. That said, we've got those couple of swinging b0llocks Goodman and Hinchcliffe back next year - Jesus.

Pitiful away fans, with notable exceptions to be made for Newcastle, Man City and Forest. The rest of them are mainly woeful.

Bournemouth. Every aspect of them. Bully, if you're still watching, I despise them.

Those w@nk fireworks we let off before kick-off. These are peak Ashton though, so every chance we will keep them.

We'll probably end up with fewer Saturday 3pm kick-offs next season!

Sh!t kick off times, sometimes for no obvious reason.
Very few midweek games under the lights.
Big/established club bias from refs and VAR.
Pundits knowing nothing about us other than we're in the Prem and not doing very well.
Security on the way into the ground.
Being made painfully aware that tinpot clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham, and Brentford are now light years ahead of us.

Contestantly knowing a game is very likely to be rescheduled is indeed tedious.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

Security is a great shout - big old queues out the back of the NSL 20 minutes before kick-off, caused by a group of big (and, to be fair, very genial) blokes rubbing down my coat, confirming that I've got my car keys in my pocket, and waving me into the turnstile.

Again, this is right up Ashton's street, so I fully expect this to endure into next season.

Will be a lot worse in the Championship. We won’t have as many Saturday 3pm KOs as we did this season. 12:30’s galore! Shîte.

I will add "not be able to swear" into this list.

When we had our second fall out of the season with the Match Day Stand Manager, we were informed that no swearing is allowed in the ground under premier league rules.

Someone should tell the players that - Sky are constantly apologising for the players language which is picked-up by their microphones.

I think this is applied selectively. I still swear like a sailor and the stewards haven't had a word.

Yes, the "things not to be done in front of the new Exec Box attendees who are paying £120 per game" clause.

*Swearing within the Exec Box allowed plus also general p1ss taking & smugness if supporting the opposition team.

The entire thing has been a non event really.

Really chuffed the ground has been tarted up, and we’ve got the ability to create a new training facility.

That aside, it’s just been a bit crap

Armchair fans of the brand clubs watching a "contest" that resembles Tyson Fury vs my gran, not recognising a half billion advantage, and talking as tho they know anything about football supporting.

Yet strangely most of them saying they hate the international break because they think too many England games are mismatches?!

I won't miss a thing really.

Bad VAR … when you thought it was supposed to stop all that.
“Gamesmanship” - formerly known as shthousing.
And we thought old fashioned time wasting in Div1 / Champ was terrible.

Time wasting, I can't believe how little time the ball is actually in play. Refs pretending that VAR is there to get the correct decision.

VAR and the blatant favouritism it shows to the “big” teams.

The crap kick off times will still be with us, especially if Leeds go up and we do well.
