Kill the the Burnden pigeons? rats with wings/feathered rats? And now, finally, the mystery of how the 3 for a ?1 pie shop could afford to produce 'chicken 'n' mushroom' pies is solved.

comentators/interviewers saying Sir Alex.. Pathetic

 

Even worse (particularly when interviewing him), referring to him as 'Alec'/'Sir Alec', using the scots/familiar version, like he's their mate.

Gary Lineker trying to be 'cryptic' when introducing the highlights, especially if you've avoided hearing the outcome

of a game(s) all day, he's as subtle as a steamroller.

Jonathan Pearce.

 

The "xxxx is a shithole, I wanna go home" chant. Bolton seem to have taken this one up though.

 

City fans who always make out they're hard done to. Whenever they surrender a lead they will always say stuff like "Typical City, we never have any luck." Every City fan I've ever met does this. Do they really think they have any worse luck than any other team?

 

Pundits who say such a team (usually Arsenal) play football "like its meant to be played." What a load of shite.

When someones died and one or both of the teams have used insulating tape or similar as 'armbands' - what a mark of respect, to nip to the cornershop, hoping they have one of those 'bit and bobs' stands. How much do kitmen earn a week? surely they could run to tacking/then removing some velcro onto the shirts.

I'm actually surprised that Adidas haven't incorporated a black band on the sleeves of Liverpool shirts before now.

Congregators in the Happy Shop, passing time with no intention to buy owt

 

Whole families who camp down in the hotel bar having supped their drinks an hour ago leaving no room for proper drinkers to sit down.

 

Jugs of "bitter" from said place that take half an hour to settle

 

After the game, cars who want to turn right at the roundabout thus holding up all the traffic behind

 

Dicks who, rather than stand up to let you past to your seat, would rather slightly adjust their tree trunk legs diagonally

 

The drummer who bangs his drum once when the opponent has a goal kick or corner

 

People who take great delight in shouting out the latest scores every two minutes as if we give a shiny shit that Doncaster have pulled one back at Hull

I often think the little drummer boys must have no concept of the different speeds of light and sound. They time the single drum-beat to coincide with the kicking of the ball. The player, if in any way frightened by the loud noise, is safe in the knowledge that the ball is already half way to the attacker's head.

 

GET RID OF THE DRUMMERS!

The fact that not only are all kiosk employees not speak English but always manage to get my order wrong everytime!

Folk who ring up stations like 5-Live or Talksport who decide to start their conversation by saying "I've been a XXXX supporter for XX years" as though the amount of years they have been supporting the club gives extra gravitas to the point they are about to make.

 

Folk who ring up Talksport in the morning and think it's funny to say "Morning Al, morning Chicken...." the joke has worn a bit thin now.

 

Commentators (especially Richard Keys who is the worst for it) who say things like "There is always something special about European nights at Anfield" or "There is always something special about playing under the lights here at Upton Park" - proper arse licking to the home fans.

 

Pundits/Experts who perpetuate the myth that "Liverpool fans are the most knowledgeable in the country" and who also say things like "they love their football here in Newcastle/Sunderland/Liverpool etc" as though other parts of the country don't love the game or their team as much

Worse still are the ones who ring after a home win and start off with, "I've been listening to the Wanderers on the radio and they played really well . . .!!!"

That actually was seriously suggested and considered just after Hillsborough.
