Present Day Football, Fans and Any Other Stuff You Hate About It!

Modern pin badges.

I love a pin badge but I'm sick of that shit round holder on the back that comes off after the first mad celebration and you lose another badge again. The old clip holder on the back was much better but no doubt it's something to do with health and safety why we have these crap ones.

The fans changed, often surrounded by fans that don't chat, half n half scarfs etc.
Fans filming everything.
Seeing people in other teams shirt who aren't even playing against City.
I don't feel like I'm part of the City family any more. I feel like a foreign in my own statium.
Can't get tickets next to my lad or mates. To expansive now.

I really hate how loud the PA system is in the Etihad. Before the match, at half time you can't speak to each other as it's to bloody loud.

The last time I felt like I still belonged was the Villa 3-2 game in the SSL3. Loved it people chatted to us, couldn't believe how far we travel and how many games we see lol.
On Gundogan got the 3rd the place went mad, hugging complete strangers. Brilliant.
 
Hate dickheads who get a YouTube channel and think they’re experts
With knee jerk reactions after every single game.

Just for example. City play Everton and Foden doesn’t score or assist.
Arsenal play them the following week and Saka scores.
“OMG Saka is so levels above Foden man it’s scary”
That sort of shite
Some of the City 'content creators' are utterly laughable. One of them, about a month ago had 2 clowns talking of us 'slapping up' Spurs, the other with a 5-1 prediction. I watched, no idea why. The same idiots rock up a few weeks later, with City slightly more unraveled than they were pre-Spurs, when it was evident that we were falling apart, expecting to be taken seriously. I think they watch from their bedrooms, focused more on likes or whatever shit they are after. Absolute chimps. Crock of shite, all of it.

I hate stats and football manager, modern football fan is obsessed with them, expected goals, passes, percentage of possession, headers, left or right foot shots, distance covered, everything is a statistic.

Just watch the game and make up your own mind if someone has played well or not.

Statisticaly 7/10 people will disagree with me :)
 
Zebra pants come a close 2nd
I raise you.

Content creators.
Influencers.
Social media, generally.
Reality television.
Tik Tok dancing. Cunts.
Coffee megachains. Bigger cunts.
Creaky American voices...often paired with the aforementioned influencer.
The New Zealand accent.

I could go on. For days, weeks even. I'm a grumpy old man. Bite me.
 
Content creators. Can't stand watching people talk into their front camera at games.

Watchalongs. People love to have a laugh at a 30 second clip of someone's team getting scored on, but who the actual fuck watches that for 90 mins? Have a fucking word with yourself.

Reaction videos. A 1-0 loss away at Tottenham is not a sign of the apocalypse. A 3-0 win at home against Brentford doesn't do anything for any players Ballon D'Or candidacy.

Social media comment sections of die-hard fans of the club since 2023 from fuck knows where talking absolute horseshit.

The way that all football discussion has become is just comparisons. Nobody can talk about tactics or the game itself, all they can do is argue who is better (and that doesn't expand past G/A)

The obsession with the Ballon D'Or. An English player won it in 2001, and as an 11 year old City fan, i couldn't have given the slightest of shits at the time. The trophies on the field are the ones that matter.

People who are fans of players, not teams. You're a grown man with a Vinicius Jr profile picture on Instagram. Grow a pair.
