What I really hate about this season is...

[Park Life 71]

....that with a fit Bafra and a second striker to play with Carroll we'd have finished top 10....There are that many dodgy sides in this league and the fact that for the first time in a long time the 'big four' are vulernable to defeats.

Is the season over? I must have had a long kip!

What I really hate this season is the ones that got away.

 

However, the season is 1/3 gone and I'm able to lament the ones that got away whilst we sit in the top half of the table.

What I love about this season is winning games we expected to lose. I'm hating losing and drawing games we ought to be winning

Shame the ratio is 1:3 on that score.

What I hate is the gamesmanship that goes on in this division and how dopey referees don't spot it and allow these teams to break up play by feigning serious injury, getting play stopped then 'sportingly' humping the ball back to Tim Krul. This has to be coached into these players by the likes of Sham and Mark 'Id love to spark the cunt' 'Sparky' Hughes, as I didn't see much of it last year.

Inconsistency. I'll hate it all season. Or will I?

Football's about the only sport stupid enough to suffer from it, firstly because the players are largely pricks and secondly because officials and the people running the game do fuck all which encourages it.

 

We had a chance to cross into the box with Fulham struggling and get a shot in, instead one of them fakes an injury the ref stops it and we end up not with a chance to score but the ball hoofed up to Krul and 11 men back defending. Then you see the rugby and a guy with an actual real injury is practically trampled over as he gets treatment by the rest of them getting on with it, because thats what you do.

Yeah, Danny Murphy hit in the face with a ball. Could only improve his looks TBH. Getting hit in the face with a ball is not a legitimate reason to stop a game. Any other sport and it would be business as usual.

 

Football players are some of the biggest overreacting soft cocks and most fully deserve the bad reputation they've garnered through their excessive dramatics. The FA and FIFA must share the blame because the facts are that players are rewarded for overacting. A challenge that the ref may have missed or not called, with a little bit of overacting becomes something that's quite obvious.

 

In the box the amount of players that plan to go to ground, just waiting for the slightest contact is embarrassing (Steven Gerrard I'm looking at you). Even when there's absolutely no contact the absolute worst that can happen is that they get a yellow card. Conversely, if there's even incidental contact if the attacking player can sell it well enough, and the ref is a big enough fool to buy it (this will unfortunately come down to the profile of the player, big profile forward = penalty, big profile defender = no penalty) then the penalty is given and a yellow or even red card could be given. That's far from fair and with such an advantage to the attacking side it's going to keep on happening. Stay on your rfeet and get a shot off and you've got a chance of scoring, or go to ground and you've got a better chance of scoring (from the spot) plus a good chance at getting an opposition player sent off, or at the very least yellow carded. Some players (again looking at Gerrard) have the hide to dive to the ground then get up and get in the referees face in an effort to get the other player sent off. Absolutely disgraceful, fucking cheating cunts.

I said this at the game but it does seem like since we've been away and come back that cheating, gamesmanship, timewasting has got much worse.

It may well have done but its certainly magnified by the fact the championship has such a lower proportion of complete cocks and cheating pricks that we got used to people sometimes staying on their feet, getting up after a genuine clattering as if nothing happened and people getting on with the game. Not saying there wasn't any down there but by god there was alot less than the prem which is frankly a disgrace.

The histrionics in the PL is far worse now than I ever remember it. So rare a player just gets up and gets on with it after a 50-50.

I think I saw more in the game against Blackburn than I did throughout all of last season.
