Things you hate IV

To be fair* I do say that quite often.

*There’s another one for you

 

Ugh makes me think of a chunk of liver skewered on a cocktail stick with a tiny pickled onion.

I can’t say skewer out loud, much to my wife’s amusement. It always comes out at ‘skyur’, like someone from Belfast trying to say skier.

 

talkSPORT Drive with Andy Goldstein & Darren Bent.

I used to listen to this on my drive home each day to catch up on things happening in the sporting world, but I cannot listen to it now these two are presenting.

Be fair that start is normally followed by something particularly unfunny, often something offensive.

So is it at least a self aware/honest start to a statement maybe?

 

This kind of behaviour can get in the bin.

Calm down, dear, it's only a game.

 

Is that the 'guy' who did the "Leave Britney Alone"? If so he has has really let himself 'go'.

 

Incidently - how's that buffoon who does AF TV been covering this (I really can't be bothered to search for his inane witterings).

 

I'm not gonna direct a jet of warm diarrhoea all over your face, but......

 

Haha - he almost cries. He's absolutely right though. They are a car-crash of a club at the moment. Serious relegation contenders I reckon. No quality and no idea.

 

I think I'd only reach this level of madness if Watford went into administration and my club was on the brink.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are paying the price for selling all of their committed, good players with pedigree and replacing them with uncommitted, **** players with "potential". That's how Villa and Newcastle went down and there's scope for Arsenal doing the same.

 

Well I’ve just watched us getting completely battered by West Ham and my reaction has been to have an extra couple of beers and quietly wonder when and if Rodgers will ever learn from his mistakes.

Even if the club went to the wall I couldn’t get as indignant as that pathetic attention seeking baby in the video.

 

Yesterday I got stung by a jellyfish in Wales. F*** me it hurt like hell for a couple of hours.

 

There is no alternative to the Rodgers style. Personally I love it - I know a lot of Watford fans hated his style of play but I find it effective and enjoyable.

You just take the defeat when down to 10 that early. Awful goals to concede, especially Soyuncu trying to imitate Troost.

 

Of all the nasty creatures there are in Australia, jellyfish kill the most people.

 

Box Jellyfish? I went to Australia a couple of years ago and went up to far North Queensland and worked back down, all the beaches have tiny little netted swimming areas, and nobody actually swims in the sea because of them… and the crocodiles.

 

Pass pass pass with no end result even before the sending off. I think Leicester will struggle when Vardy is past it.

 

Oooof but when it’s bad it’s bad. There is an arrogance to him, when it’s good it’s unstoppable but when there’s an injury crisis and an opposition manager with BR’s number it’s catastrophic.

Nothing unlucky about tonight. I try not to mention LCFC’s fortunes too much on here, not in a serious manner unless prompted anyway… I hope you get the impression that I’m very even handed when it comes to my club… BUT… never a red card in my opinion, Perez was barged and off balance, Oliver thought nothing of it if the time but got to the monitor and was presented with a still of Perez’s studs on their player’s ankle. Really disappointingly unfair use of the technology.

However we were on our way to a well deserved pasting anyway and the silver lining of not have to put up with that bumbling **** wit Perez for three games is very appealing.

 

Always remember the Billy Connelly sketch that included box jellyfish. “Box jellyfish? These fookers come gift wrapped?”

 

Yes, I remember the beach at Port Douglas having a container for vinegar - the supposed antidote to box jellyfish stings. It was empty. Then there was the sign: “Beware estuarine crocodiles”. Well that’s pretty clear.

 

Yeah I went to Port Douglas, the Crocodiles swim across the sea to get in and out of the rivers. It’s called four mile beach but you can only swim in about 10 metres of it. I think it’s a pretty regular-ish occurrence for people’s dogs to get eaten while walking them on the beach, and then the occasional human. I remember reading a story about a poor chap who was senile and wandered out of the home he was in and got eaten by one.

 

Yes started with the still but the ref was then shown the build up to the challenge and saw Perez look up, see the approaching leg, and change his legs direction away from the ball to deliberately make contact with his studs. It was cowardly and dangerous. I’m sure he regretted it afterwards but it was very deliberate.

 

I’ll agree to disagree, it happened very quickly in real time and I can’t see past that fact that he was taking really unnatural strides given that he’d been barged from behind and the fouled player wasn’t static.

 

Agree it looked accidental in real time, as the commentator thought too before changing his mind on the replay. No worries about agreeing to disagree though

 

None of this changes the fact that we took a well deserved pasting tonight, I’d even suggest it would have been more had Perez been on the pitch.

 

Yes I’ve never been convinced by Perez. Presumably effectively bought as a Vardy cover/replacement. Quick and skilful but doesn’t score.

 

You’re thinking of the wrong Perez m8

He’s an atrocious player, we’ve got a second rate championship striker playing as our first choice right winger, it’s bizarre.

 

Sorry mate that was as clear a red card as you will ever see, a real potential leg breaker, but thankfully that did not happen.

 

People who walk in cycle paths, I’m not even a. Cyclist but seeing it just annoys me. There is one near me, 75% pavement, 25% cycle path running the other side of a row of occasional trees. Bollards roughly every 50m highlighting it’s a cycle path. Yet you still get gormless groups of people aimlessly wandering along it.

 

Not nearly as annoying, or dangerous, as cyclists cycling on pavements.

 

I find that relatively rare, but I do agree. If I ever encounter one and I’m walking my dogs I refuse to move out of the way so they have to go on the road. I’m obviously not talking about kids or anything, but if it’s a grown adult there is absolutely no excuse.

 

You’re lucky, seems to happen quite regularly here, despite Bristol being full of bike lanes.

I apply a rough cut-off age of 14 before I start ranting.

 

The fact that my ever ballooning council tax doesn’t cover grass cuttings at the park and in green spaces being gathered up anymore.

 

Ok, this is not things you hate but things you find mildly annoying…. The camp chap who does the weather on BBC news. I’m normally hungover on a Saturday morning, if I want to see the weather I just want to see the weather, I don’t want to have to sit through a west end performance. Nothing against him personally, it’s just not what I want from a weather report.
