This gripe is probably going to annoy a lot of people but it's got to be done! Football (especially in England) really gets on my nerves and because it's everywhere, all the time, you just can't get away from it.
It's entertaining is it? Well where exactly is this entertainment value because there are so few entertaining games these days. The accumulation of points/goals is often infrequent or non-existent! Then there's the money paid to footballers who contribute so little to society. It's appalling and although SOME soccer players give money to charity, the majority do not. By the way, you just have to fart near an opposing player and he goes down, very manly, very butch, VERY LAME and definitely not entertaining.
Doesn't the presence of so many foreign players/managers/owners who have to be the ones to take the English teams to finals bother you? It doesn't seem to bother the press. What about the average English fan? Where's your pride man? Please don't tell me its wonderful to have them here showing off their skills because that's just a load of nonsense!
Why bother interviewing managers and players? The foreign ones can barely string a sentence together and don't add much value/insight and I suppose the same could be said for the local ones too. Martin O' Neil is perhaps an exception. Nobody offers anything of value, state the obvious, mundane old cliches. I appreciate you cant give away team plans and tactics but Sky/BBC, why do you put microphones anywhere near these people? Do fans hang on Benitez's every word?
