1. Stoke fans on Sky sincerely chanting "USA, USA, USA" to a previously unknown American mercenary/ player turned up to possibly sign for them.

    As bad as our fans singing "Arsenal, Arsenal" at a mid week match at Old Trafford during our EPL days many years ago.

    I remember Danny Baker turning up on TV with a t-shirt saying something in Russian after MNillwall signed two Russian players back in the 90s. Probably two of the worst signings any football team have ever made, both were unfit and one got nicked for drinking and driving.

    I've never been so embarrassed to be a Charlton fan that night.

    Ordinary players getting 100,000 a week - obscene.

    Sky banging on and gushing about how many fucking hours and minutes to go 'till 'the deadline', stood outside numerous shite football grounds pretending they, and the whole football fraternity are wetting 'em selves about what's gonna happen.

    I remember the Arsenal chants at Old Trafford when we played them on the last day of the season after Arsenal had won the league there in the midweek game a few days before.

    It was solely because we had a group of divs that sat together and were groovy

    The renaming of the divisions and the dropping of all football history beyond 1992. The renaming of Div 1 to The Premiership was 'kin annoying, but the renaming Division 2 first to Division 1 and then to Championship is absolutely crass in its stupidity.

    Apparently every FA Cup tie Man U have played in since 2005 has been televised

    Goal music, ticket prices, games moved for TV to stupid days and times, Sky in general, sponsored grounds, teams who've changed their name for a sponsor, Lego stadiums, foreign ownership, player wages, the 'Champions League', the Euros and World Cup purely being money making exercises, then last but not least, people in England who think they're ultras.

    John Terry
    Ashley Cole
    Mario Balotelli
    Rio Ferdinand
    Joey Barton

    among many, many others

    Sky Subscribers who complain about modern football but perpetuate the whole ridiculous premiership-obsessed circus by continuing to hand over their cash to Murdoch so he can keep paying the big clubs to kill the rest of football. It's like giving your money to the IRA and then complaining about the violence.

    Pundits, I know how the game is played, I dont want to hear some washed up old footballer analyze a game. Especially Mark 'I like a big man sweeping up behind me' Lawrenson.

    the way our identity as english fans has slowly but surely been taken away by overzealous authorties in what ever guise they see fit... not enough carrot and too much stick!
