I know Scholesâ fouling is more niggley than anything but I was just thinking there, almost every midfielder today has become adept at those cynical âcleverâ fouls which stop the oppostion from building an attack or creating a good chance. Is it just me or are they a reasonably new phenomenon? Theyâre usually congratulated for them by the commentators as if theyâre actually a football genius when really itâs a disgusting part of the game (to me) and completely against the corinthian spirit and all that stuff.
Taling the ball to the corner flag really annoys me too, even when itâs my team protecting a lead. Iâd rather we won/lost/drew playing football for 90 mins than playing for 85 and time-wasting like a shower of cunts for 5.
The other people in the money league Im doing in work. Hes a bargin at 6 Mil. He may not start every match when the Champion league resumes but hes worth having.
