Another vote for the Grealish shin pads plus throwing in gloves with short sleeved shirts and kissing TV cameras during goal celebrations

No. As an athiest, that doesn't bother me.
Makes them look a bit twattish, but, hey ho.
Kissing the badge, all day long, for me. I had to punctuate that carefully, note.
Adam El Abd would have snapped Grealish in two !

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Agree. Turns my stomach to see it. Even more than all the spitting.

Hoisting their shorts right up to their groins. What for? To show off their lovely, muscly thighs? Our Glen has been guilty of this in the past. Watching Ronaldo do it makes me want to puke. Don’t try and be like Ronaldo, Glen - you’re better than that.

But do their shorts have pockets in which to pop hankies?

Bleached hair/Very light highlights (Knockaert, Bissouma and Traore come to mind)
Tiny shin pads (Nearly three years later and I'm STILL angry about it)

yes, what the fudge advantage do they think they get?
Until one of the kit designers has the foresight to incorporate a little handkerchief pocket in the design of the shorts would it be too much to expect for the players to just pop a hanky into the cuff of their sleeve if they know they're going to need it.
If Lineker had done that he would at least have had something to wipe his arse on when he shat himself on the pitch during the 1990 World Cup instead of having to wipe himself on the grass.

God, yes. Adam Al-Abd used to do that loads. It was SO distracting.

The whole WAG thing. To borrow a line from Squeeze 'it's funny how their missus always look the bleeding same'.

More managers this one; when a top side is playing a much lower one in either stature. league position or both, the press conference is "A tough challenge, not going to be easy".
Rhubarb..."We're going to batter this bunch of no-hopers".
Rhubarb..."We're going to batter this bunch of no-hopers".
The inability to converse with anything other than inane cliches.
That’s a top, top observation.
At the end of the day you've hit the nail on the head.
