Modern Football Bol**cks

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

From a while back at the CL final but regularly pops up on Twatter about the state of punditry

Actually makes me angry that he's given a platform to spout such shite

If ever we needed proof that drugs are bad for you.

*cough* allegedly etc.

Pig Lips is one of the thickest inarticulate fucking mongs to be given punditry work. :roll: :censored:

Also fucking around behind your dying wife's back is also bad. #justsaying :wink:
We need a shite pundits thread where we can call out these c.unts on a weekly basis.

Andros Townsend on co-commentator duties is so woefully bad it's actually funny. It's like he forgets his punditry training and starts waffling on and gets faster and faster.

Who on God's earth thinks it's a good idea to employ these mongs? :lol:

"Punditry training"???!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It would be much easier (and a shorter thread tower) to start a "Decent pundits" thread.

There aren'y any... and now we've got the high-pitched screeching women doing Punditry on "Mens" Football .... Just when we thought it couldn't get worse ....


you've got eniola aluko who ticks all the pc boxes: black, a dwarf and an LGBT&Q supporter and so has a job for life ... karen carney who seriously knows fuck all and just repeats sound bites she has heard some male pundits use, then there's fara williams who has a voice that could cut through concrete who again knows absolutely fuckin' Nada about the game... and then there's Alex Scott the loved up lezza media darling who again talks utter bollox....and of course lianne sanderson who looks like a skinned from the 1970's terraces and is more bloke than 99% of the male pundits...


I think this says it all:

Watching a rerun of our title winner against the toffees at the glorious Highbury in 98 on SlySports.

How blessed I was to have been a supporter in that era, to have been at games like that one. 8)

The difference between that era with its exciting fast aggressive play where players weren't afraid to drop the shoulder and take on their oppo number, where they tried risky passes to set up the runner, compared to the dire tedium of the modern stat-obsessed tippy tappy pass it sideways 5 yards to retain possession above all else and hardly ever take an oppo player on borefest.... :roll:

Have not counted one dive in this match. Yeah I know there was one or two divers in the PL even back then but it was nowhere near the level of cuntiness it is at nowadays.

In those days no one gave a fuck about nonsensical fucking shit like our "out of possession" stats :roll: or being on the cusp of fucking anything. :roll:

Back in the day I was obsessed with Arsenal and the wider game of football. Now I despise so much about the game its unreal. :(

The modern game is all but dead to me. I struggle to be interested and it feels like what I imagine a failing marriage must feel like where you don't want the inevitable break up to happen and just hang on almost out of habit as much as anything else. :|

I too was watching that earlier and was gonna post something similar at the time - people talk about the current team and the improvements of the team, but I look at the team and I see no TA6, no PV4, No Bergkamp either in terms of quality or heart. From the current team none of our keepers are as good as seaman was, none of the full backs get in ahead of dixon and nutty, saliba would probably get in alongside TA6, none of the current central midfielders come close to PV4 and petit, none of the current strikers are better than anelka or wrighty, and anyone who thinks that odeargod threatens Bergkamp's place is deluded.

As I have said in the past, teams can only be the best in their own era, but that doesnt take away from the fact that the quality of football has dropped off so much in the last 25 years that any perceived improvements need to be measured against how low the current standards are

Can relate to a lot of that sentiment...we will never see the likes of that team again...they were incredible
Moving out of Highbury was a massive step......i loved that place...it was the Arsenal, it was our soul...steeped in a rich history
Fuck me we fought and defended that place like it was our own home....bad days and good days
Looked around at all the fans celebrating at the time of going to a new stadium....now gentrified and full of daytrippers
Without Highbury its different and will never be the same, said as much at the time

Why is the gooner website itself just chockers with women’s football, I mean I know it’s the Arsenal ladies team and all but I couldn’t care less. There’s obviously a market for it though or it wouldn’t be there in the first place

The market is tiny. Its the modern phenomenon of the minority controlling the majority through guilt tripping and virtue signaling. No real actual true football fan has any real interest in the shit women's version of the game. Some have family members that play so have to pretend they like it but mostly it's the piss weak modern "man" afraid to upset anyone and just say it as it is.

But it's still a tiny minority. You ask them to pay full price for tickets in a 60 thousand seater stadium every second week and you will see a 60 thousand seater stadium with 59 thousand empty seats every game. Now ask them to pay upfront for 19 games in that stadium and you'll see an empty stadium. That's the reality. :lol:

And a good half of that thousand consists of school children who were pressed ganged into going to the stadium.

To be honest, I’d consider giving it a go on the condition they play the Benny Hill theme on the loudspeaker for the duration of the game. I could always used a good laugh.

It's just with football man. In the rest of my life I'm a normal happy well adjusted adult with a wife and kids and a passion for guitars and guns. The family and those two hobbies keep me going no matter how bad the football gets! :lol: :wink:
