I'd have just untucked my jacket from my jogging bottoms to cover it
From those pics it looks like the 4 gentlemen queued up thinking it was the line to get on to Jeremy Kyle's stage*.

1. Wages in the top flight - money goes straight out of football
2. Agents fees - money goes straight out of football
3. Diving - Its cheating !
4. Talking back to the ref - It should be an automatic red card, that would stop it very quickly
5. Game management - A new phrase that is basically "tactics"
6. The High Press - A new phrase that is basically "closing down the keeper"
7. Ticket prices in general
8. Not being trusted with taking a beer in a plastic cup to your seat
9. Parachute payments should not be used to buy more players and try and get back up. The payment should be money ringfenced for wages of existing players on the books at the time of relegation.
I can suspect that in 6 months from now, I will be adding another one.......
10. Players making a television signal to get the ref to look at the VAR

Conte’s already doing number 10 so I doubt it’s going to take long until players do it too.

Yes and just on point 9 aswell for all the knock on effects to the additional staff, like ticket office staff and others that lose their jobs etc... due to the effects of relegation. I don’t think a lot gets considered for the wider staff implications? I’m not particularly sure what happens.

Agents or intermediaries as they are now called.
Why do players in L1 downwards need one?
The PFA should run a course and have a basic template of how to negotiate a contract.
Agents are killing the game and its filtering down the system into non league and youth levels.
They have too much power in football.

Personally I hate the Ibrahimovic or Bale type hairstyles with the little bob on top. Looks so poncy.
If it wasn't for that, there'd be nothing wrong with the game at all ..... well apart from the diving, biting, spitting, kicking, punching, elbowing,
poor referees, muddy pitches, overpriced ticket prices, racist fans, ridiculous transfer fees, greedy agents, foreign owners, BBC videos that can't be watched outside the UK,
and inedible pies.

Parachute payments should be scrapped in favour of enforcing a wage reduction of a minimum X% when relegated. That way clubs don't go bankrupt on wages and if a player is unhappy with it he can force a transfer. Parachute payments just allow recently relegated clubs to keep players better than the level they're at and give them an edge. It's no wonder clubs lose bucket loads of money trying to be competitive in the Championship.

Drives me mad when I watch the FL highlights show, you see a good solid fair crunching tackle where they win the ball, the player tackled rolls around,10 team mates run in half at the tackler grabbing his throat other half to ref, pointing at the stricken player and the ref shows the red!

He’s having a great season but the dancing and dabbing shit is annoying. Same as Pogba.

they could turn the Europa league into a cracking competition overnight. Straight draw, no seeding, over 2 legs, just like the old days, would be great.

I used to love the cup winners cup. Random teams in it and anyone’s tournament

Absolutely agree. Trying to turn it into the Champions League 'lite' was a monumentally shite idea.

3 competitive tournaments that all had esteem but UEFA sold out to the influence of advertisers who wanted a premier product. The Champions League is a joke and they've ruined the Europa following that format.

Media giving out stats that relate to the PL era only. As if football didn't exist beforehand. I'd be fucking embarrassed to read them out.

Liam Ridgewell has spoken about that in the past. Everytime someone scores for Portland they get a bit of the log. He said his biggest problem is getting them home as he only gets 20kg :emoji_laughing:

I remember seeing some of these clips in a documentary and someone explaining they were chanting "The referee's a wanker" on the way to the stadium...before the game had even kicked off... :banghead:

The expected goals statistic. Yesterday it was West Brom 0.73-0.89 Southampton. The game had five goals. How does that work?!
