Turnover not takeover
That's not minor, there's an ocean between themVery, very minor : Atalanta being spelled "Atlanta".

Fully agree with this. Most co commentators tend to love the sound of their own voice are just fitting their narrative around the outcome of a game or circumstance, instead of providing any decent in depth analysis. They also love to overrate the underrated in an attempt to sound clever. In my opinion co commentators should rarely speak and only to provide value/analysis that is not obviously noticeable to the viewers.I find the overall environment of punditry in football to be horrible a lot of the time. You’ve got the cliche-ridden drivel on mainstream media that you could play bingo for every live coverage of a game and see how many generic terms get uttered by your stereotypical ex-pro.
And then on the other end of the spectrum, you’ve got those stereotypical smug, bespectacled neckbeard hipsters who talk nothing but xG and xA, as they wear some fecking retro shirt of River Plate and probably never played a game of football as a kid.
Is it too hard to find some middle ground between Billy Ex-Pro yelling ‘PASHUN UN DEESAIUH’ every 5 minutes and Hugo Hipster smugly saying ‘Well I’ve always liked Atalanta before they made it into Europe’ as he sips his latte and sneers into the camera.
That and Napoli being described as "Naples". I haven't seen it on here lately, but about a year ago there were several posters calling them NaplesVery, very minor : Atalanta being spelled "Atlanta".
I'm sorry to inform you I might be one of those but I have an excuse for it...That and Napoli being described as "Naples". I haven't seen it on here lately, but about a year ago there were several posters calling them Naples
You're forgiven!I'm sorry to inform you I might be one of those but I have an excuse for it...

And over the top biased fansBiased commentators.
Yep. Last Saturday’s penalty call: both commentators said it was never a penalty, even though the defender blocked Garnacho’s shot with both arms stretched out.And over the top biased fans
I thought it was a penalty but I can understand why it might not be given, I thought the Onana one was as wellYep. Last Saturday’s penalty call: both commentators said it was never a penalty, even though the defender blocked Garnacho’s shot with both arms stretched out.
If it happens on the other side it will be 100% a penalty, even if it comes off the body first.
And the Carling Cup - that's 11 years and countingPeople who still call the premier league the premiership. It’s been like ten years ffs.
At least we're still capable of making the European Cup, though.People who still call the premier league the premiership. It’s been like ten years ffs.
I'll say Premier League followed by Championship followed by League One does trigger some OCD. At least Premiership is consistent with the name of the second tier.People who still call the premier league the premiership. It’s been like ten years ffs.
Yep like the Alan Shearer top scoring record they were going on about when Kane left for Germany, any such record is top flight and held by Jimmy GreavesPeople who think football started in 1993. Especially to skew “records”
Anyone who thinks the referees have a club bias is being ridiculous. Refs have their own shit to worry about and don't care about Brightons push for a Europa League place.I thought it was a penalty but I can understand why it might not be given, I thought the Onana one was as well
But this obsession that refs are all ABU's is just plain pathetic
Yep. Everytime I see a fan jumping up and down swearing at a complete stranger just because he plays for the other team, I roll my eyes in embarrassment.People willing to kill each other over a football team that doesnt care about them. I mean i watch all of uniteds games but if we dont win its not the end of the world.
I just call it the league cup so I don't have to keep up with the constant sponsorship changes. That and I hate naming rights. If I had my way, we'd all just ignore naming deals for stadiums and use the old names.And the Carling Cup - that's 11 years and counting
I did find it funny that Kane might have stayed to take Alan Shearers "record" of being about English league footballs 4th highest scorer. Sky do it for branding but Shearer seems to actually believe his record matters.People who think football started in 1993. Especially to skew “records”
Yup, and by a country mile as well.Yep like the Alan Shearer top scoring record they were going on about when Kane left for Germany, any such record is top flight and held by Jimmy Greaves
The weird bit is that formula 1 fans don't open formula e news articles to comment how they don't like it. A lot of people who don't like women's football make sure to go out of their way to make it clear they don't like it.The insinuation that not caring about the Women's World Cup has undertones of misogyny.
I watch Formula 1, I don't watch Formula E. Mother likes EastEnders, she doesn't watch Emmerdale. I'll watch the singles finals of Wimbledon, but I'm probably not going to go watch any of the mixed doubles. I like rock music, but I'm not obliged to like every fecking song.
Premiership sounds way cooler.People who still call the premier league the premiership. It’s been like ten years ffs.
You could apply the same to the Scottish League, a lot of EPL fans will open news articles to comment on how they don't like it and their perceived quality of it. Isn't that similar?The weird bit is that formula 1 fans don't open formula e news articles to comment how they don't like it. A lot of people who don't like women's football make sure to go out of their way to make it clear they don't like it.
Same with “denied by the woodwork”. The posts didn’t move mate you just missed the target. It’s like saying you were denied from getting home because you drove into a tree.The phrase ''He beat the keeper but not the post''.
Well yeah if you hit a shot off target you are likely to beat the keeper, hit the corner flag and you've also beat the keeper by that logic.
A shot has to be on target and actually going in before we can know if it is beating the keeper.
To this day I still don’t know which is correct.And Atletico Madrid as Athletico Madrid
Quoting an old post but this one is always of interest , as people seem to think that if Alexander-Arnold had been sent off in the beginning of the game against Newcastle, he still would've been able to make the mistake that led to Newcastle's 1-0 and van Dijk would definitely have been sent off too, so if the ref had made the right decision to send him off Liverpool would've been 1-0 down and down to nine men!“The game ended scoreless, but we should have won the game 5-0”
Nonesense,
If only the next 4 chances would still happen exactly the same way if the first goal went it. They won’t.
I thought that was to make it easier for those washing the kits. Easier to sort them when you know who they belong to.Staff and players with their initials on all the crap they wear. If ya can't keep track on your gear than feck off.
