Things We Hate

[Van Der Graaf]

Betting being suspended just as I go to put £10 on Gladbach scoring next....Which they duly did.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Betting in general. Not won since Boxing Day although I did win £250 then.

Meghan Trainor's song All About That Base and the fact that I like to sing along to it. Still better that Taylor Swift!

Does the 92 in your name symbolise when you were born?

If so, i guess it's quite like that you're feeling twenty two.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Taylor Swift is phenomonal, actually.

Her newer song is annoyingly catchy "lips are moving" - Still not in Swift's league however. But haters gone hate

That fucking Alan Shearer advert played during every advert break of every sporting event.

The one where he gives the young Sikh lad a ticket and the kid is obviously thinking "cheers, but fuck off now please"?

 

[Dave-Vale]

Loved Shearer as a player but he comes across as a bit of a moody bastard whenever I've seen him as a pundit.

 

[mistermagic]

Are there any popular pundits in the UK?

So few decent ones. Gary Neville and Lee Dixon are fine. Not great but I respect them well enough. TBF, before he stopped giving a shit (circa 2000), Alan Hansen genuinely gave some decent insight.

Although they annoy me from time to time, I probably like listening to foreign football journos like Philippe Auclair or Gabriele Marcotti more than any ex player I can think of.

 

[G.B]

James Richardson should be on every football show ever.

I find Richardson really quite annoying. The Guardian Football Podcast is generally good, apart from him talking crap.

Its him that makes it a good podcast, the man's a lege!

Mick McCarthy Is a ledge on the mic.

 

[Skinner]

Some completely bladdered Irish guy approached me last night, showed me his palms & slurred "These are the hands that built America"

Gwarnn Paddy.

To be fair, they're rebuilding England too

I fucking hate Marcotti. How can you like Marcotti? He's such a fucking boor.

 

[Dave-Vale]

I like Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Carragher more so when he's on with Neville.

 

[BlueBee]

I like Pat Nevin when he's on MOTD2.

Gary Neville is the best though by quite a distant.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Oh god, I think this one's Barclays again, isn't it? I fucking hate all of their adverts - like those bloody Lifeskills and "Digital Eagle" ads. Sorry, but I'm not yet prepared to believe that you've suddenly acquired a social conscience.

 

[Stevencc]

On the subject of adverts, the Wiltshire Farm Foods adverts with Ronnie Corbett. What part of eating cheap, shitty, low quality microwaveable meals amounts to "looking after yourself". "Wiltshire Farm Foods". Sounds wholesome

 

[MSB92]

American TV ads are even worse. Especially the adverts for medication and law firms, they're awful.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

Paloma Faith

 

[Smally]

Phil Neville

And they all try to put an annoying catchy tune or leitmotif to tie in with the brand so you'll remember. All ads get muted in my house anyway.

Those tunes always get stuck in my head and I keep singing them for hours

Boots not giving Boots Points on baby milk because apparently it dissuades mums from breastfeeding.

[Skinner]

Having to explain on a Palace forum why Jason Puncheon shouldn't be in the England side

ffs

It's th same with Tesco points etc. it's illegal to offer financial incentives. Even with the up to age three stuff!

The NHS and all involved still claim to be impartial about it all as well!

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

The fact that I've just demolished a packet of Fox's Chocolate Fudge Crunch Creams - I felt like our beautiful relationship had just begun but now it lies in ruins (where the fuck is that teary eyed tff smilie when you want him)?*

*there was one of these, right? I don't remember anymore
