garcon Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Saw this on another forum. It's from a QPR fan, but I reckon most of us will identify with most of it - even the bit about Lee Hughes now he doesn't play for us anymore... I take more pleasure in seeing Chelsea lose than I do in seeing QPR win at the moment. I sat through so many matches when we were absolute dogs**t under the likes of Ray Harford and with people like Paul Bruce, Matthew Brazier and Mark Perry in the squad and I never felt like this. The club isn't ours anymore but moreso than that - football is just properly gash these days. I mean really gash. football generally. I hate nearly everything about it these days.... I hate the Prem and the myth that it is exciting this year. Man City breaking into the top four isn't exciting. They spent loads of money. It's no more exciting that Nameless C*** getting to number 1 in the charts after winning the X-Factor. I hate the myth of Arsene's kids. Buying some French kid when he's 17, playing him in the League Cup and then selling him when he's 20 after about 3 appearances in the league is NOTHING SPECIAL. I hate hearing about Liverpool/Man Utd's debt but nothing ever happening about it. A club needs to go to the wall for the money thing to change but it doesn't happen. Why the **** are Charlton, Leeds and Southampton still in business? I hate Frank Lampard's stupid f'ing face. I hate John Terry being England captain when he's CLEARLY AN OAF. I hate the England team. I hate young exciting wingers who have nothing but pace. Tony Scully had nothing but pace. I hate the FA Cup. There may be little shocks like last night but for the most part you know who's going to win it. Unless a team throws away all their financial security to win it a la Pompey. I hate Harry f'ing Redknapp. And Jamie Redknapp. And Louise Redknapp. And the Wii. I hate James Nesbitt, Eammon Holmes and Angus Deayton. I hate Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer. I hate Garth Crooks. I hate Garth Brooks for that matter. I hate Sky Sports. I hate that when a lower league player beats 10 players and chips the keeper it doesn't matter but if Rooney scores from more than 20 yards it's amazing. I hate that everything football related has to have 'Club Foot' playing behind it. I hate that female sports journos are now mandatory. I hate Mark Lawrensen for not coming out. 'I do like a big man at the back'. I bet you do. I hate any advert that portrays football to be about anything other than pain and disappointment. I hate any advert that mentions pies at football. I hate Lee Hughes and the fact that he makes a living from the game. I hate Marlon King and any team that signs him when he gets out. I hate that it'll probably be us. I hate Phil Brown. I hate 'well the ball is a lot lighter now and will cause goalkeepers real problems this summer' before EVERY F'ING TOURNAMENT. I hate that Kieron Dyer earned more in the time I took to write this post than I'll earn this month. I hate Adrian Durham, Ian Wright and Alan Brazil. I hate Gazza. Either die or shut up. Stop f'ing lingering. I hate hearing about Hillsborough more than I hear about Heysel or Bradford. I hate that a comeback from 4-0 down at half time (TWICE) means nothing because we aren't f'ing scouse. I hate Leeds. I hate Roy Keane. I hate grown men wearing football shirts of their team whilst shopping on a saturday when their team is playing at home. I hate that I don't hate Roy Hodgson. I hate Jermaine Beckford and any player who has neck tattoos. I hate songs being inappropriately taken as club anthems and then sung in a manly way. 'I'm forever blowing bubbles....'. Gaylords. I hate Danny Dyer and anyone he's ever interviewed. I hate the book 'Cass' by Cass Pennant. It is honestly the stupidest thing I've ever read. Chapter 1: Millwall. 'Yeah we took 50 to Millwall. They had 1000 in their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'. Chapter 2: Liverpool. 'Yeah we took 50 to Liverpool. They had 2000 in their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'. Fk me... Jade Goody's autobiography is probably better. Even her non-ghost written one. I hate that all good youngsters end their careers at Spurs before they start.

Matt Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I would go along with all of that. I also would like to nominate this man... Yes. It's Jeff Brown. Who has something to do with Accrington Stanley and Burnley. He probably doesn't like me either, which is cool - I'm antisocial and not very nice to general public.

maddog Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I like it a lot . Not sure what's wrong with female sports journos though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 What a superb rant, sadly I've got to say I agree with a lot if it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Not sure what's wrong with female sports journos though . Nothing wrong with them as far as I'm concerned (especially when they look like Jaquie Oatley ). I think the problem is the idea that all media outlets feel they have to have one.

garcon Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 who's Jaquie Oatley? Summariser and occasional commentator on Radio Five, and often does the emails and texts bit on the Football League Show. She was at Boundary Park for one of the Leeds games I think, and complained of being cold with five coats on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Summariser and occasional commentator on Radio Five, and often does the emails and texts bit on the Football League Show. She was at Boundary Park for one of the Leeds games I think, and complained of being cold with five coats on. The one that does the emails on the football league show is Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes and whilst being OK to look at in a homely next door way is :censored: at being a football analyst/commentator. Jackie Oatley who is also moderatively attractive isn't much cop as a commentator either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've definitely seen Jackie/Jaqui/Jaquie (take your pick) on the Football League Show, although I've also seen at least one other regular - so presumably Lizzie whasserface (my attention tends to be waning at that time of night... ). I'm not too keen on Ms Oatley as a commentator, but she's fine as a summariser - knows her stuff at least as well as most of the male BBC football staff.

F.O.B. Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well she's better looking than Alan Green. There is no person as annoying as that . I'd rather let George dubya Bush commentate a game before that Moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Y'see, I actually really like Alan Green's commentary, but I don't think I know anyone else who doesn't hate him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
