General Football Nonsense

Kick Off 2

And you can piss off with your "Amiga", N_Q

Let's see you graph your way out of this one.

Players will have to wear masks in training (or snoods), according to fat old men who can barely move without the assistance of a fork-lift. Sun reporters with telephoto lenses, waiting for the moment when Ozil removes the mask to scratch his nose. "Ozil Shame!"

Maybe, when you have to wear PPE, can't touch anyone, can't let the fans in, maybe you get to a point where you just give up on footie for time being? Unless you are a PL exec, in which case it all makes perfect money.

Good player, in a good Leeds team.

We could have VAR detecting when any player was within 2 metres of an opponent. A free kick could be awarded and both players sent to quarantine. I doubt the TV companies would mind all the stoppages, they could run adverts.

"Schoolboy error, Gary! A player of his quality should always be aware of the infectious zones around him. It's just lazy! Now he's out for 2 weeks."

PSG have been awarded the French title, pity they didn't go for N&V option...

Fake title. Might as well lay the groundwork.

Waah, waaah, waaaah!

"Players are "scared" about the prospect of returning to action amid the coronavirus pandemic, says Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero."

Fairly obvious though. Locked down in their mansions with their fashion model wives, indoor bowling alleys, heavily stocked American sized fridges and walls around the gaffe? Bank balance building like a speedo on a Ferrari? Bravely venturing onto social media to report their daily plight?

No wonder they don't fancy going back.

I think what Aguero and Murray say is fair enough, basically they're the equivalent of gladiators being sent out to fight and maybe get maimed or die for the gratification of those watching

I think Murray in particular does a good job of calling out the PL and hypocritical ruggerbuggers in the government

Take the cash during good times, bottle out when the going gets tough? These cunts are behaving as if they have normal jobs. They don't. They are in positions of extreme privilege granted to them by fans who consider them "the equivalent of gladiators being sent out to fight and maybe get maimed or die for the gratification of those watching". What was it Shankly said? "Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that." And it is. The great distraction.

Football is what replaced the gladiatorial arenas. The circus to go with the bread (and beer). It's slightly more civilised now, though on a moral par. But still, that's exactly what these players are. Meat thrown out to baying crowds. Most of them seem to have forgotten that. They've acquired delusions of grandeur.
