The Media/Coronavirus/Football.
Just a quick drive-by Cunting for the idea that the Media seem to have that we are all desperate to hear when football will return….I couldn’t care less. I’m aware that some people are interested,but the media seems to believe that we are ALL obsessed by when the multi-millionaire mercenary pantomime will restart.
I wonder if there is some sort of “bread and circuses” thinking behind it…. just give the Plebs their football and they’ll be happy.

If social distancing will be compulsory in all workplaces, will the players have to keep two metres apart from one another? Saying that though, over the years, Sheffield United’s defenders kept two metres away from the opposition strikers even when there wasn’t any social distancing protocol.

I do give half a fuck as to whether football returns but I don’t give a fully fledged fuck at all about rugby. In order to comply with social distancing, it will probably be limited to playing sevens, so the fat bull necked forwards who can’t run need not apply. This of course does not apply to rugby league, the man’s game where players can run the length of the field without getting out of breath.

You must be watching BBCunt repeats of rugby from the 70’s if you think modern day Rugby union forwards can’t run.
Nancy boy football and thicko rugby league what a game I’d pay to watch.
7
Funny that – I’m the EXACT opposite! But then again, most girls play better soccer than men anyway!
3
Soccer? WTF is that?
5
A gayer version of football
7
That’s funny. Enjoyed the laugh. Good one.
2
As much as I fucking hate football, I can’t deny that I had my fair share of satisfaction watching these new waves of “powerful lionesses” that apparently deserve as much money as best male players are paid because it’s the same game they are playing, then go on to get absolutely massacred by some under-15 local boys.
13
Rugby is a tragically dull stop-starty waste of time played by talentless overweight cunts who are shit at football homoeroticaly grappling with other talentless overweight cunts who can’t do proper sport refereed by turds who don’t understand the rules, and watched by tiresome, bigoted, middle-aged, repressed fâggots.
14
So do you like it or not?
Spit it out Cap.
10
Rugby has laws not rules…doh
5
Yes so which side of the fence are you on about this?

Reel in quickly, apply fresh bait to hook and re-cast, in the direction of Northumberland !!!

With an attendance of 100. Most of whom came to watch the boys’ team.

I don’t mind lower league football as most of the players are local (British), play for peanuts, but seem to have more passion for the game (as do their fans)
However, the cunt that is the Premier League, can get to fuck for all I care. Fuck the players, fuck the managers, fuck the chairmen and fuck the donkeys they rode in on!
A lot of players could have shown some compassion by agreeing massive wage cuts to help out the plebs who actually do all the graft at the clubs – a few did, but the majority didn’t, resulting in layoffs and furloughs.
Then you read headlines (speculation) that some cunt called Harry Kane might MIGHT be on his way to Manchester United for around £200m – And that’s when you think, “enough is fucking enough!”
So fuck the Premier League, and Sky/BT for financing the obscene circus. Perhaps this virus may come as a culture shock to some, but one suspects once everything returns to “normality” it will be the same old shit of prima dona players/agents whinging and moaning over the most petty of things.
Fuck off!

Seeing my avatar, I probably shouldn’t comment on your nom, Dick.
But I agree with you about the media.

John Wark isn’t it? Good player in his day.
I don’t follow Ipswich per se, but they’ve had some cracking players down the years. Paul Mariner, Mick Mills and Arnold Mühren come to mind. Alan Brazil was a cunt. Not sure if he was a cunt before he went to Spurs, but his cuntishness came to the fore there and has developed exponentially since.
7
Wark and Brazil were Scots from the time we had some pretty good players and managers down in England. Now we have nobody except maybe Andy Robertson at Liverpool. Ipswich were a good team at that time. This was quite an achievement as East Anglia has never been strong in terms of football.
4
The honest toil of the lower leagues, which are important to local communities is missed. Fuck the rest and don’t come back. We don’t need franchises funded by 3rd world criminals and odious cunts. Fuck em. The cunts.
18
Social distancing is going to be a problem for football, wearing masks and no spitting and for anyone travelling on planes, Wizz Air are starting up flights from Luton tomorrow and everyone has to wear a mask.
How the fuck can the government force pubs, cafes and restaurants to close but not airlines and where does that fit with non essential travel.
The media are useless, sports reporters are a waste of space even when sport is being played so why do they still keep popping up on the news
9
The BBC are so obsessed that they are repeating old games and as the Snooker fortnight is kaput each day they have repeated a “classic” event – but what is the point?. The thing with sport is it’s immeadiacy.
I can’t see how football can return until “social distancing” is past – how will the players snog each other when they score a goal?. There will be loads of goaless drawers.
7
“Goalless drawers” WC?
Is that a reference to the result or not being able to get into someone’s knickers?
😀
6
I can’t wait for the football to return. It is missed. Can’t agree with this nomination. Without it we’re left with dreary sports or even worse, The Olympics.
8
The media is propaganda, sport is the opiate of the masses. Take the drug away and then return a sanitised version only viewable on your TV at home The drones will try and continue their lives with acceptable compromises.
The media isn’t telling you anything apart from the official line with a dig at the current administration embedded.
Riots in European immigrant areas, not reported, food shortages coming, not reported. Once Corona virus has broken the current fabric of society the lockdown will be continued on the grounds of civil disobedience.
This nightmare has just got started, enjoy!
11
Football is shitball imo I couldn’t give a flying fuck about it I seriously hope it never returns
16
Used to love it as a kid when some sports shite was cancelled and theyd stick cartoons on!
Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner,
Sylvester&tweety.
Bet they dont do that now?
Porky pigs offensive to the peacefuls, animal rights nuts upset by Elmer Fudd hunting ‘wabbit’.
Don’t care if anyone’s missing football, tough shit.
Im missing warner brothers.
17
I still love bugs bunny even if he is a crossdressing rabbit cunt all the old warner brother cartoons were ace I still watch them occasionally I picked up a old vhs copy of mr magoo 1001 Arabian nights and episodes of Rocky and bullwinkle at a pawn shop month before the lockdown fucking hilarious stuff
I honestly don’t understand peacefuls hate of pork or they are just ingrained with the belief that eating it permanently bans you from heaven or something
7
It’s from the old books about old times when pigs really were riddled with worms and germs, probably very unsafe to eat. And Leviticus bans shellfish for the Jews, I can imagine a bag of prawns going off in no time in the Sinai sun.
8
Eww, like Katie prices knickers.
5
don’t give a fuck about cheating, ballet dancing cunts. They’ve shown themselves to be totally out of touch with society and cunts to boot.
Hopefully people will cancel sports subscriptions, never buy team shirts etc again. Hit the shit industry where it hurts- in the pocket
8
Sorry Norm I know you are quite partial to footy, I’m honestly indifferent to its return. I loved soccer too at a time but I couldn’t keep up a interest after age 15 I played in minor league soccer from age 7 up until that point in my childhood
I still like football to a extent but I’m not invested in watching it, not enough hours in a fucking day i tell you. I played PES 2018 recently that was alot of fun sort of revived a partial interest.
Thats what I wonder if football isn’t returning why don’t footy fans just play that its much more rewarding and exhilarating to play a team customize your own or play official ones, manage it and win a championship then watching it as semi religious beer chugging sport imo
8
Titslapper, I thought you were Canadian. You Mountie cunts don’t even play the Beautiful Game! Stick to your Canuck contests: lumberjack racing, gravy eating, and moose-fucking.
8
Beautiful game don’t make me laugh its a game designed and played by 3rd world cunts and watched by even bigger cunts. You thought correct, I am a proud Canadian. Gravy eating what the fuck is that? You talking bout poutines? Fair enough Fries,melted cheese and gravy is not for everyone Moose fucking? not only is that idiotic but impossible considering how rare uncommon moose sightings are and why would I do that when your fat whore cunt moose looking mother is ripe for the taking?!
I don’t care much for your tone here captain seriously fuck you in your smug ass the beautiful game is all yours buddy don’t you worry about that. Maybe someday the south american dagos cunts can re teach it to you after the peacefuls and gypsys take over your country get to fuck captain, prick

Is PES worth it? Been thinking of switching from Fifa for a while but I don’t know if Konami would be any better than EA when it comes to momentum/scripting and all that crap.
2
Oh, and BOTH OF YOU – you know there are rules about cunting cunters. Knock it off.
1
I haven’t played any of the current FIFAs General Tso, the last one I played was FIFA 2015 on PS3 it was alright but clubs felt hard to manage PES was super easy in comparison. Pro evolution 2018 was a blast tho I really enjoyed it konami did a good job on it. I will probably check out 2019 eventually if it ever goes on sale but i’m happy playing 2018 in the meantime
I honestly don’t know why I responded so aggressively to captain comments but the smugness of his comments was itching me the wrong way yesterday morning while I was drinking my cuppa and I snapped. I got pretty thick skin usually but the moose fucking part got to me I guess lol I dunno. I didn’t mean half of what I said but the snarky comment broke my fuse, my apologies
1
He tried that shit on with me, TS…..just slap the little bitch down…it isn’t hard… he’s really not half as clever as he likes to think.
Hope you’re keeping well.
2
Its the smug attitude that gets me, Dick otherwise I’m pretty easy going
I’m doing alright thanks for asking hope you are doing good too and keeping busy during this wuflu pandemic. Crazy times we are living in thats for sure cheers

As we hurtle relentlessly into a not at all distant, dystopian future, who gives two fucks about football, or any other sport ?
There’ll be no time for games when the SHTF ………………..

Everyone’s got an opinion about this and here’s mine. I’ve not missed it that much to be honest. Aside from the eye watering and obscene amounts of money involved, the diving, the rolling around like you’ve been shot, the train wreck that is VAR (to name but a few), for me I’m not bothered for 3 reasons.
1) We get quite a bit of football on Yank telly, although NBC Sports’ coverage of it is painful to watch and apart from Robbie Mustoe’s input, is quite shit. That said, it’s the time difference which kills it for me (we’re 6 hours behind). The early game means waking up on a Saturday morning for a 6:30AM kick off. The next game kicks off at 9:00AM our time and the late game kicks off at 11:30AM. If it’s 3 games I’d like to watch, my Saturday doesn’t start until around 2:PM. Having my Saturdays back has been nice, I won’t lie! Sundays are almost as bad and I’ve got them back too. Yes!
2) As a Spurs fan it’s important to me to really like the manager. The last manager I really liked was Martin Jol. I never liked Pochettino. His schoolboy haircut and mumbled unintelligible interviews got right up my nose. He was Levy’s yes man, never had a plan B and setup the team to be pretty one dimensional. He never earned the right to be Spurs head coach in the first place and I for one was delighted when he fucked off. Imagine my disappointment when Mourinho rocked up. I’d have taken him during his first stint at Chelski, when he was fun, eager and a breath of fresh air for the league. He lost his mojo along the way and it’s only a matter of time before he loses his mind (again) and embarrasses himself and Tottenham. Clock’s ticking, Jose!
3) It’s also important to me to at least like the first team players and love that one flair player Spurs have traditionally had down the years. For years the only player I really hated at Spurs was Jermaine Jenas. What a monumental cunt. These days I hate most of the squad for various reasons including being crap, constantly fouling, can’t pass/tackle/shoot, poor ball distribution, lack of vision, you name it. Anyone who gives Lame-la a starting place in any team must have lost vision in both eyes and suffered a massive stroke. 30 million quid – what a fucking joke. For a long time now Spurs haven’t had that one special player like Hoddle, Gazza, Klinsmann, Ginola, Berbatov, etc. The closest we’ve got is Son, but he blows hot and cold and isn’t in the same class as those players I mentioned.
Plus Daniel Levy is a massive cunt too.
So for me, I’m a bit meh about the whole thing. Football’s one saving grace is at least it’s better than all the Yank sorts combined.

What’s your opinion of Eriksen? I always thought he did well at Tottenham.
2
Hi CP –
Well, Eriksen’s gone now as we know and I thought it was quite telling that the arrival of JM didn’t change his mind.
He played well more times than he didn’t, but he was lazy. Week in, week out you’d see him pulling out of tackles, standing off players with the ball, not tracking back. Going forward, picking a pass no one else saw and being deadly at free kicks (be honest – only 75% of the time) are all great attributes, but they’re not enough for the modern day midfielder. When he was on song, Spurs were a better team with him than without him. That said, his leaving didn’t leave a gaping hole in the team like when Ginola or Klinsmann or Berbatov left.
Good player, just not a great player like those 3 I mentioned. Cheers – IY.

Martin Jol really deserved more of a chance at you guys. Always felt he was quite underrated back in the day tbh.
0
Cheers General.
One of the many reasons I hate Levy is because he was caught by reporters in a Spanish hotel foyer having a meeting with Juande Ramos. When he was busted he claimed he was discussing European training methods or some such bollocks.
Next thing we know, Jol is sacked and guess who replaces him. That’s right! Juande Ramos.
Things had gone off the boil a bit with Jol at the time, but that happens to all managers. Jol didn’t deserve that.
Levy is a duplicitous, lying, po-faced cunt and a perfect embodiment of what’s wrong at Tottenham.
1
If it wasn’t for the existence of Mike Ashley I can’t help but think he would be as universally reviled as he deserves.
2
Football is an important part of our culture the money men stole from us a long time ago, like they stole so many things. Maybe this Chinky Plague will give it back to us. I doubt it very much but you live in hope.
5
It’s pathetic. It returned after the war so there’s no great worry.
Even if the entire league system folded, new teams would just emerge at some point under a new football pyramid.
Perhaps the new system would have more fan involvement and less foreign owners?
It’s always going to exist in some form.

It’ll be radioactive punk rockers kicking a severed head around the ruins…

As a football fan who watched England win the world cup it saddens me to say I don’t give a flying toss about the game any more.
The reaction of premier players to this crisis says everything about them: not taking paycuts when a normal person could live for a year or more on one week of their wages. Not keeping to social distancing rules. Thinking only of themselves and planning lucrative transfers when they can play again.
Their attitude really is sickening when you consider such greats as Bobby Moore who was refused a reasonable rise by West Ham in his hey-day.
These cunts live in vast estates behind electric gates and believe they are a race apart from the rest of us. I’d like to see the big clubs go bust so that we could start again on a more even playing field (pardon the pun).
I thought I would miss sport but frankly I don’t as it all seems so trivial now.
7
Politicians have suddenly gone very quiet on the footballer bashing front – probably because Politicians have refused to take a pay cut, have stolen an extra ten grand on top and have been told to roll back on this one by their advisers.
Can’t blame footballers for taking what clubs are crazy enough to offer, but can definitely blame Rupert Murdoch (AKA “The dirty digger”) for pricing the average supporter out of the game and turning it into an elite clique of those who support whoever is top of the league.
Murdoch is a cunt.
5
In Oz right now you’ll read or hear nothing of the local footy if you don’t seek it.
Six weeks ago saw one game they broadcast experimentally from an empty stadium, pointless playing without a paying audience, may as well been a wimminz league game
2
Football died in 1992. Sky killed it. I don’t watch the Premier league much prefer the Championship and lower leagues as i find there’s less rolling around the floor and more of a just get fucking on with it attitude from the refs.
And Harry Kane for 200 million quid!! What the fucking fuck is that all about? Jesus wept.
2
Would have to agree, Flexi.
He’s a good player. Can hold the ball up, Brings others into play. Can pass, cross and tackle. He can shoot and isn’t bad in the air. I just don’t find him that exciting to watch. It could be different in the stadium – I wouldn’t know ‘cos I’m not there. But what I can tell you is, when Ginola or Klinsmann or Berbatov got the ball, we all stood up in expectation of something magical happening and more often than not, it did. They were exciting to watch and worth the admission fee on their own.
Kane doesn’t have the same effect for me. His greatest contribution to Spurs will be to get a huge transfer fee because he won’t win trophies at Spurs. The current squad peaked last season and weren’t quite good enough to win anything. It needs fresh blood and that costs more money than Spurs will be willing to spend.
0
Don’t get me wrong IY i think he is a good player and years ago my team had him on a loan and i saw then he had ability and knew he would go on to be even better, which he has but 200 million pound for ANY footballer is totally nuts!
1
Totally with you on that Flexi.
I still remember when we all gasped in awe when Trevor Francis became the UK’s first £1M player. 1979! How long ago does that seem now? Yikes!
1
Nope, can’t get on board with this one. I’ve loved football for as long as I can remember and in all likelihood that isn’t going to change, despite its many flaws. For all money rules the game nowadays there are still very few other sports where we could see stuff like Bournemouth’s miraculous rise through the divisions from the brink of bankruptcy, Wigan’s FA Cup win, Leicester’s Premier League triumph or Bradford’s cup runs in the early part of last decade.

Every time I turn on the TV there is some old footy match or Steve fucking Davis playing snooker. I never liked the cunt first time around so I can’t say I’m too impressed at watching the ginger cunt all over again.
