I'm cutting SJM some slack here, but i really do hate that thing he does.

It’s not like we get to see it very often…

And presumably we don't like it because when we do see it we lose?

The worst things to see at football matches (no particular order, they're all revolting).

- four eye goal celebrations (as per SJM, although more acceptable in his case for obvious reasons)
- the making of the shape of a heart with the hands
- signs of the 'GREALISH CAN I HAVE YOUR SHIRT' type
- Bebeto style baby rocking celebrations
- That Chelsea celebration from about 25 years ago where they all arranged themselves like a group photo
- Goal music
- Anything involving ball boys waving flags after goals
- Players who are not 1. Brazilian and 2. World class having anything but their surname on the back of their shirt
- Jorginho hoppy skippy dummy style penalties
- Mike Dean


Great post.

Can I add:

Grown men responding to opposition fan chants by miming that fake orchestra conductor thing with their fingers
Our chant for Coutinho
The slowed down version of "Oh when the Saints..." that Spurs do

Absolutely yes, that is the worst away fan song ever.

I think we will soon be adding five substitutes rule and the deliberate slowing down of a game in the last 15 minutes.

It maybe the Festival league fifty years ago but not once did a teamate lay a hand on me after i scored a goal, a very quick good goal mate and then back to the centre spot. Where and when did all this jumping over each other start? it aiil looks pathetic. Exept when Villa score.

Can we sell McGinn to Scotland permanently? He does his best work for them, would get away with being half-fit and can rest for weeks between games.

He plays in a front 3 for Scotland, or one of the 2 behind the front man to be more precise. I don't think his strengths are in CM and I simply wouldn't be playing him there anymore. He gives the ball away too often.

Can I ask how you know this as I seem to spend most of my time actually watching the game?
