Being the ‘away’ team in a final. I know it makes no difference but I hate it for some reason. Just doesn’t sit right.
Also, Baller.Anyone that uses “ceiling”, “beast mode”, “bullied” or “bottler”.
It’s so blatant as well. A defender running toward the corner flag, you know what the plan is.Defenders or keepers throwing themselves to the ground at the slightest touch and winning the free kick 100% of the time. We all slate attackers for diving and going down easily but nobody ever criticised the defenders who do it all game, every game.
Also, legalized obstruction or "shielding". It's not shielding when you run in a circle around the ball, sticking your arse out to stop players getting to it.
Ah, that's unfortunate. Ban locker for you.‘Sits’ in front of the back four by pundits and commentators. You don’t play football sitting down, you Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime
Both are annoying, yet oddly when it's the attacker trying to waste time in the corner, the officials always seem to give the throw in/decision to the defenders, as if recognising it's arseholery of a high level.Defenders or keepers throwing themselves to the ground at the slightest touch and winning the free kick 100% of the time.

I don't find it's so much that as the shameless cheerleading, particularly on BT.English pundits being so dismissive of other teams in Europe.
The commentators said we lost the coin toss twice. Once for the ends and one for who goes first. Not sure how true it is.Bruno Fernandes letting Villarreal take their penalties first AND take penalties in front of their fans.
Absolutely inexcusable and I would like to see him punished by the club for these actions.
I thought Owen Hargreaves was good last night at giving a bit of balance, as the other three were focused on United, and Scholes in particular just wrote Villarreal off completely. Hargreaves was the only one who seemed to actually know about the team beyond the manager. He's an underrated pundit in general. Used to struggle with his articulation, but he's come a long way. One of few pundits who knows his stuff and does his homework on non-PL clubs.I don't find it's so much that as the shameless cheerleading, particularly on BT.
I hate it even when they do it for United, but it's fecking nauseating trying to watch any English side in Europe as a neutral as it feels like you're watching their fan channel.

Can tell you're a Barca fanFans and pundits complaining about players card waving. What do you think players shout at the ref after every hard foul?
Ooh you got me.Can tell you're a Barca fan
Why is it funny? It's attention to detail like that that will separate elite clubs from the pretenders.Punished
There was a lot of comments about this on Twitter the other day. BT's punditry on our matches in the Europa League this season has been embarrassing. They clearly don't watch leagues outside of England at all.I don't find it's so much that as the shameless cheerleading, particularly on BT.
