The shitness of modern football

Filming minute silences

Half and half scarves and jesters hat combo at a cup final.

Arsene Wenger hedging his bets then?

[SlugTrail]

Where the fuck do you start, a footballer costing £90m, his agent getting £40m, a 36 year old earning £367k pw. Kids football kits costing £50 each. What do all these have in common. Money. That is what is wrong with modern football. It is no longer a working class game as the people playing it are so detached from reality they don't give a fuck. Then you have players coming out on sky saying they will learn from that bad performance then produce the same shit the following week, then wash rinse and repeat.

So I watched the final in my local pub. One half had some Chelsea fans and the other Arsenal.

 

I reckon most 'fans' under the age of 30 spent most of the game looking at their phone, looking up occassionally when they heard something interesting. Upon the final whistle, fans of both sides poured out of the pub. I was alone when they lifted the trophy.

That link is subscription only but who is the tool that followed United for 20 years then switched to Arsenal - wtf??

Wonder if he faceplanted into the ceiling during the test run, like Tony Stark.

Where do they get 200 million from?

 

They'll pick up about 100 million if they finish in the bottom 4 positions, not sure they'll make up another 100 million through match day, sponsorship and commercial revenue.

We need one of those for Moreno, he might win some balls in the air then.

Carra and Danny Simpson having handbags over Twitter.

[Mark M]

The last response from Carra was brilliant in fairness.

[3 Stacks]

Carragher is annihilating him.

I'd rather fly him back to Spain on one.

How can anyone not like Carra? He might be a awful pundit, but he loves ripping the shit out of bellends like Neville and Simpson.

I love Carra but it's a bit rich of him going on about Simpson being a snake as if I remember correctly, it was him and Stevie going to the board about Rafa, so not too dissimilar to what a few Leicester players did about Ranieri..

 

I'd never say that on Twitter though calling Carra out.

Haa! I suppose it's better than the ref picking up the ball from that plinth thing as they walk out!

Something seems a bit out of kilter when a 9-figure sum can change hands within the space of a minute due to 3 penalty kicks in a 2nd Division match.

Think it's a guaranteed £170m for next season and two years parachute payments even if they're relegated next season.

Yeah saw the article not long after, as long as they're sensible and work on the basis that they're going down but with an eye on coming straight back up they might be able to make use of that parachute payment instead of using it to pay off loads of high priced players signed chasing safety.

Burnley are a good role model for those types of teams. Huddersfield have the added advantage of good German manager too.
