Defenders celebrating blocks and tackles. It's your job for feck sake
do you not celebrate a goal as a striker then?Defenders celebrating blocks and tackles. It's your job for feck sake
Alright RoyDefenders celebrating blocks and tackles. It's your job for feck sake
Disagree. The world would be a better place if the postman did a cartwheel after delivering every letter.Defenders celebrating blocks and tackles. It's your job for feck sake
I quite like this, to be honest.Defenders celebrating blocks and tackles. It's your job for feck sake
This. I mean, don’t they practice?Set pieces that don't beat the first man. Kills me every time.
I disagree with that, it brings me joy to see Martinez go up and nearly punch a few in the face for making a great block or tackle. It brings up morale in defense and confidence that you're doing a good job.Defenders celebrating blocks and tackles. It's your job for feck sake
I don't mind that. Obviously it looks a bit silly if it leads to a corner that results in a goal straight after but defending is an art. Crowds love it when a player wins a crunching tackle so players having that passion is good to see. Plus it might have an effect of keeping everyone pumped up and concentrating.Defenders celebrating blocks and tackles. It's your job for feck sake
Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").Also, commentators using the full name of some players. Surname will do thanks.

Agree with both of these. Re the first, is there some magic combination of number of syllables in a first name and surname combo that entices them into using both?! Like 2:2 (Timo Werner, Marcus Rashford etc) or do we think it's entirely random?!Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").
Peter Drury absolutely loves yelling "Alejandro Garnacho" and I seem to remember (as well as differences in surname pronunciation) certain commentators using "Didier Drogba" while others just did the surname.Agree with both of these.

The worst thing is when they use brandnames like CR7. Makes them sound like complete morons.Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").
The worst was Martin Tyler calling Roberto Firmino “Bobby”.Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").
Similarly, accounts sharing clearly made up quotes from ex-players about other ex-players (that often follow that format).Not about the actual game but when accounts quote players and in order to not have to include the question they essentially 'make up' the first part of the quote as if the player responded in that way repeating the question.
Some examples (made up but based on real stuff I've seen):
Bruno - "My 100th goal? I don't think about it. The most important is the 3 points." When they could just as easily say Bruno (on his 100th goal) etc..
"A move to Bayern? I don't think about rumours only concentrating on the season."
"My relationship with the manager? It is good, we are aligned."
It fecks me off
Haha, yeah good point re Garnacho. J V of H...now there's a name I haven't heard in a while! Blast from the past.Peter Drury absolutely loves yelling "Alejandro Garnacho" and I seem to remember (as well as differences in surname pronunciation) certain commentators using "Didier Drogba" while others just did the surname.
Edit: I did wonder if there was a surname length that led to them using nicknames or first names, as "Trent" and "Ox" were two examples that came to mind, but then I remembered Jan Venegoor of Hesselink who would often get the full name treatment.
Ol' Jan is definitely being referred to as "JVH" by someone like Micah Richards if he's playing today.Haha, yeah good point re Garnacho. J V of H...now there's a name I haven't heard in a while! Blast from the past.
With that specific player I think the commentators and pundits genuinely get confused in the moment and think that’s his surname. I mean, the guys name is basically backwards. He should be Alexander Arnold Trent. He’d still be rubbish at defending though!Additionally, commentators using nicknames or first names for certain players like they're best mates (e.g. "Trent").
That’s because you’re shit, aaaahhhhh!I've begun to get annoyed by lower league teams doing the "wooooooooaaaaa" every time the ball comes to the keeper followed by "you're shit aahhh".
Drury has been living off that 'Manolas the Greek God' thing for too longPeter Drury feeling the need to lyrically wax about every fecking goal, especially in a big game.
Players in general acting like they've been hit with a mortar round every time they are fouled (Bruno, Son, a few others come to mind immediately). Getting kicked hurts a bit but my god how fecking soft are you.
It's so annoying, it's almost like he writes out these diatribes the night before for potential goalscorers and it's just not needed a lot of the time.Drury has been living off that 'Manolas the Greek God' thing for too long
I used to enjoy listening to him a lot, but that was back when I only got him during big CL games. Now I get him commentating on random league games every week and he's treating every single game as if it's the World Cup final, it sounds so much more forced and insincere.It's so annoying, it's almost like he writes out these diatribes the night before for potential goalscorers and it's just not needed a lot of the time.
Martin Tyler ended up in a similar situation.It's so annoying, it's almost like he writes out these diatribes the night before for potential goalscorers and it's just not needed a lot of the time.
Yeah I actually appreciated the off the cuff Martin Tyler moments far more (one of them is literally my location). But I guess it's to be expected for how long he's been doing it.Martin Tyler ended up in a similar situation.
He had some famous lines narrating big moments and ended up quite obviously trying to predict what the outcome of a game would be so he could use something pre-rehearsed and have some more. However, when that didn't happen he was frequently, blatantly fecked off and disinterested in what was going on.
It's the same with Drury (although I don't think he's been around as long). He had a couple of great narrations, but now he tries to do every game like that and he comes across a bit like a kid trying to write a poem for his English GCSE.Yeah I actually appreciated the off the cuff Martin Tyler moments far more (one of them is literally my location).

You mean Bruno FernanCH doesn’t do it for you?How comentators says Fernandes and Neves, even if i know its probably the correct way to say it portuguese.
No i hate itYou mean Bruno FernanCH doesn’t do it for you?
Fredge was great though.No i hate it
Not as much as Nevch thought.
The Brazillian Fred.Fredge was great though.
