Impossible to say that watching, especially from the side or any distance. Body shape, even the way he looks. You don't know a great deal about the game.

RedRob72 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 on a similar tack, a "proper football club" - which is a particular favourite of the Talk Sport breakfast team; as of yesterday, apparently West Ham are "a proper football club", so it probably means something along the lines of being a bastion of far right intolerance, traditional cockney nawtiness, institutionalised mismanagement on and off the pitch and - generally - being a bit of a laughing stock and/or shambles. compare and contrast with the likes of huddersfield, who are "gatecrashing the premier league on the back of being one man's hobbyhorse (sic)" and who have "no history" - clearly not a "proper football club" at all Huddersfield Town - 3 English Championships (Old Div 1 Titles) West Ham United - 0 They were also won consecutively btw [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son liked a hotdog at the football until he was about 8 and since then it’s been pies. I hope that answers your question. Now what the holy f**k is a banterLAD football account?

Merkie84 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Statistics preceded by the phrase, " since the premier league began in 1992..." f**k right off with that , Sky sports did NOT invent football ! Also never understood when fans doing something unsavoury, fighting, letting off flares, singing unpleasant chants etc are described as " not real fans." Really! People so passionate about their clubs, they spend a small fortune travelling the length and bredth of the country following their team, and are literally willing to break the law for their team. But their "not real fans" Bellends, certainly, but not real fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linked to this is why everyone seem to feel that the need to completely overreact to things like pitch invasions, minor punch-ups etc. I’m not suggesting they cheer them on but the reactions we get are more appropriate to some kind of mass murder spree than a pitch invasion where someone tried to kick someone but missed and the worst injury was a black eye. It’s as though they feel by not utterly condemning it, they are condoning it. They are reacting often to what could have happened rather than what did happen. There’s no sense of proportion!

It's not exclusive to football. In the game you rarely hear of a good goal or a well taken one now. They're all wonder goals, world class finishes or unbelievable strikes to go with an amazing ball or a magnificent tackle. We are going through the hyperbole years!
