[Archived] Bits of the prem you don't miss?

[Beta Ray Bill]

Most clubs fans. Not talking numbers but the sheer arrogance of them believing they are something.

[braddock]

Dodgy streams.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

The referee against United, Arsenal etc.

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

Make that all pl refs.i like the fat unfit 70s throwbacks who don't give any old foul mainly cos they are so far behind play.

I said a while ago it's the easiest thing in the world to disenchant spectators and the hardest thing in the world to get them back again once they ( or their family ) have realised there are other, cheaper, less stressful things to do on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of the stay always that fully intended to come back will be realising this fact right now.

[RevidgeBlue]

As most people have said refs who are so blatantly biased towards the top 4-5 Clubs at the expense of the so called lesser Clubs.

[Lancs Rover]

Just listening to Radio 5 Live and the Chelsea Man U fans going on about ' If this had happened at Old Trafford...' like their auntie has just died.

Great thread.

"United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs,United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs,United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs,(Liverpool),United, United, City, Chelsea, City, Chelsea, Chelsea, City, United, City,City,City, United......"

[philipl]

Gerald Ashby style reffing v ManU

[jim mk2]

What do I miss about the Premier League ? The answer is, everything. I got a kick out of us being an unfashionable club punching way above our weight for year after year, defying the southern media and giving the "big" clubs a bloody nose from time to time. There are no redeeming features about the championship and those who say otherwise are in denial. A thousand curses on Venky's.

[mhead]

Just being important. We are in every sense marginal now.

[Mike Graham]

Stuart Hall

[Waggy76]

The pro Manchester United bias shown by the officials ...

The fans being ripped apart every week and Kean being made out to be the most dignified man on the planet by the idiots on the Soccer Saturday SEM panel.

Beat me to it. That used to ruin my afternoon. I'd end up shouting at the TV "what the f**k are you talking about, Kean's won 13 games out of 60! What do expect will happen?!"

[Jock]

Referees that favour the big teams o rthe famous players.

I do miss beating the bigger teams then watching them sack their manager

[Rover Down Under]

The well-entrenched but ill-informed idea that we "bought" the League with our 14 million pound squad yet not one mention was ever made of the hundreds of millions spent by Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool, City, etc.

[Mr. E]

Playing Aston Villa every month in the cup or the league.

Bits of the Prem I don't miss?

Nothing. We are now watching a downsized business offering sub-standard rubbish in an empty stadium. What is there to get excited about? We are back to being a small town team lower down the divisions and it irritates every time I see the likes of Swansea, Southampton, Norwich and the rest enjoying sold out stadiums against the very best players around in one of the best leagues in World Football.

Well done Venky's, clearly you knew best and we were just talking out of our arises all along.

[J*B]

Arsene Wenger.

Premiership? What's that? For me, my footballing world exists around Blackburn Rovers and Blackburn Rovers alone. Couldn't care less about any division above or below us. Therefore nothing that I miss, as long as I'm with Rovers. I'll never walk alone......cough, cough, I mean Arte Et Labore.

You must have an incredibly limited knowledge of football if you have no interest in it outside of the division of the club you support.

You must have an incredibly limited imagination if you take everything that was said literally.

'Superfan' comments just irritate me.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to irritate you. Well, you are right, I have a limited knowledge of football, I won't deny that. But I thought the Liverpool reference "You'll never Walk Alone" was enough to imply that my statements weren't supposed to be taken seriously. And the fake coughing.
