Worst aspects of modern football

[Papa Shango]

Absolutely assassinated Marseille here who are still quite good at times

They are pretty irrelevant though. They are a huge club too.

I put them in the same bracket as the likes of Stuttgart, Real Sociedad, us I suppose, even the likes of Dortmund. Big clubs who should not dare think of keeping hold of their best players as one of the big boys will just hoover them up to sit on their bench.

I suppose it has always happened to an extent put it seems worse now.

Dortmund is a good comparison in that they're good and can have good seasons in Europe but they're ultimately always selling and the mega club at the top kills their realistic chances of winning the league most years.

There very much were issues with two imo

Yeah, I understand the issues. I just feel with all this need for finding winners, we've lost an aspect of the game that made it unique.

Indeed they may be, but if you ask most fans who are the top clubs in France it will be one or two, and Marseille sadly isn’t one of them.

God yes its horrific.

It has started to creep into women's football too! Ever since Barca became good actually. Bunch of random types from far flung corners of the globe trying to mock someone for following a "small" women's team ffs!

It's utterly grim.

Surprised Barcelona haven't started a Patreon to fund their transfers.

It will be just one unfortunately. Even the likes of Lyon mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Barca do my head in.

"Oh no we cant sign players"

Sell some of those boss players you have like every other club on earth has to do then!

Who the hell do they think they are?

If we're going European level it is only PSG, but for me Marseille are still only a tier down.

Don’t even know if I’ve posted in this already, and at 30, I feel I’ve peaked into “moan” mode already.

Twitter - it’s the worst thing in society, along with instagram. It’s brought in kids who just show that they’re more arsed about FIFA than actual football, and subsequently have no knowledge past 2008.

FIFAA - look I don’t care what you’re doing on your names console. Don’t get excited about telling how Messi scored a last minute winner.

Mainstream media appealing to the “masses” and dumbing down presenters and content. SkySportsNews is a prime one, they dismantled presenters like Jim White and Dhamesh Sheth, and made them weird parodies…. Obsess over transfers by having casual set ups in the morning and worst of all, include fantasy football content on the info bar.

Suits and Trainers is an instant no.
