Football commentary. The ridiculous hyperbole. Everything is a fairytale. Everything is one of the stories of the season.
Apparently a player scored 2 goals on his debut. Commentators wanking themselves into a frenzy about how unbelievable this is.
Has anyone got a sense of perspective anymore? Everything is a fairytale or unbelievable. The bounds of my credulity are rarely actually stretched by what these tosspots feel is amazing. Maybe Im just too rational.
Reminds me of the David Mitchell football sketch. Look it up on YouTube, well worth it! |

Two of my brothers are completely driven by whatever the TV tells them regarding football.
Love Bournemouth's 'story', they are almost desperate for Leicester City to win the Premier League etc etc
I'm not ashamed to concede that I might just be miserable.

I would love Leicester to wind the League and don't have a problem with Bournemouth.
Is that wrong?

Probably not, hence my final comment. |

The BBC and other news outlets reporting tweets from players as news worthy. Since when have I been interested in player x thanking the fans or player y stating they were unlucky today. It's lazy journalism and systemic of how 24 news leads to padding of their air time.

Very true, but some news media have picked up on Gareth Barry on what is described as the "somewhat obscure" Fanzai app. Barry has this to say.... "Barry denied the biting allegation on the social media platform Fanzai, saying: “Seen a lot of talk about the incident involving me and Diego Costa in the game last night. For the record Diego did not bite me.”  |

"Although now he has kissed and nibbled my neck I think I'm pregnant and will have to marry him my dad says" Is surely underneath?

Ha the reason why i still buy Viz after 30 years of fart jokes. Some of their social commentary and their piss take of our stupid society is still very good.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35818619I have personal experience of the behavior of some 'professional sportsmen' (footballers) on the lash at the races when I policed Royal Ascot.
