The standard of football in general is on the floor. There are only 5/6 top teams in the world,the rest are mostly garbage.

That is certainly true of international football.

Thats the only way to explain how the penalty to Newcastle wasn't given.

Arms out wide and not looking at the ball, didn’t they give a penalty to the rags against City in the fa cup final in 2023 for the same thing?

It was obviously because the worlds smallest CB was so busy pushing some random Toon player that he couldn't possibly be held accountable for an obvious hand ball.

They really are the turd that just won't flush. Utter shit, but above the dippers and knocking on the door of CL places.

Heard this, so why wasn't it a penalty for pushing as well as handball.

Come on! He was too busy handling the ball to be held accountable for fouling anyone. Thems the laws of the game. VAR checked it so it must be fine.

I wonder if it's ever occurred to Simon Stone to spend a little time in the real world? Reading some of his stuff you realise the man's a total fantasist. Walter Mitty has got nothing on this prick.

I genuinely couldn’t believe my eyes and ears yesterday.

United didnt string 3 passes together in the last half an hour and when the whistle blew they acted like they’d won the cup!

All very bizarre

You need to watch the other leagues. In Spain Villarreal who have been 3rd most of the season lost at Paphos a few weeks ago. Standard is piss poor.

Standard of world footy has dropped. More athleticism less flair and skill for me.

I can’t bring myself to read anything that twat writes and don’t get me started when his ugly mug shows up on television !

 

[Protein Junkie]

Can't find a Carry On film to watch, so I might as well watch these cunts...

Not sure how you’d tell the difference to be honest?

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Why do they still sing about Shearer snubbing them to join Newcastle 30 years ago. Even their chants are desperate tragic tributes to the 90s and the world has moved on from them.

The standard of football in general is on the floor. There are only 5/6 top teams in the world,the rest are mostly garbage.

The standard of individual players is getting worse and worse, proper dearth of quality across positions like goalkeepers, left backs, right backs and centre forwards.

Too many coaches have this incredibly negative haram mindset of having their teams playing to take as much time off the clock as possible so there’s less time in the game for the opposition to score. It’s like the sport is back-to-front. Football should be about keeping the ball in play as much as possible and scoring as many goals as possible.

Players are utterly obsessed with taking a touch before shooting and, at a guess, 85% of the time, they lose their chance to shoot because of the extra touch they’ve taken. This is obviously coached into them from a young age, but it’s more negativity, safety, boring shit. When was the last great volley anyone has scored anywhere?

And the amount of diving and injury feigning makes most non-City games unwatchable. The only reason City games are watchable is because we’re so invested in City’s performance and result, but even many of our players are diving injury feigners these days when I always used to be proud that we weren’t like that in the Kompany to Fernandinho eras.

Football needs a bit of a revolution. It’s heading in the wrong direction and has been for too long and no pundits are talking about it enough.

The game needs speeding up massively and the players need toughening up even more than the game needs speeding up (the pathetic soft cunts).
