The Modern Football Fan is at its worst on days like this. They seem to have the inside track on players they’ve never heard of.

Indeed. Expected by whom, exactly? :-)
Who asked for that? No-one, of course, but once it's there telly-fans and phone-in ranters quote it as though they were scored in real-life.

I grew up with full backs, a centre half, half backs, inside forwards, wingers and a striker. Proper football by god :butthead:

Football fans nowadays are virginal pussies who wouldn’t have dared go near a football ground in bygone times.

They love buzzwords and stats because you don’t have to possess any understanding of the game to be able to regurgitate them.

I blame Pep. Bald son of a bitch has boiled down football into a joyless, autistic wankfest.

One of the replies was saying he could play as a Left 8, whatever that means.

Perhaps he was a posh bloke, trying to say he should be "left out".

Only thing is, since the 93/94 season squad numbers have been used. Gallas wore 10 at Arsenal. Ian Wright wore 8.

Spot on.

The type of wankers who listen to Jack mate podcasts, eat buttermilk chicken, wear retro Boca Juniors shirts and grow beards even though they’re ginger as the alternative of a triple chin on display is less desirable. Fucking safe space seeking shitcunt bastards.

Can all be traced back to Lovejoy.The bastard.
