The Little Things in Football That Annoy You.

Players acting like they've been shot when they've gotten bumped or nudged.

Bi-polar fanbases. 

Messi being held up as a non-diver.

FIFA. UEFA. FA.

They aren't the 'little things'. They're the big things that have allowed the game to become infested with all these 'little things'.

My main gripes about football are still the uncapped astronomical wages, diving and cheating (conning the ref), and the holding, pulling and pushing that goes on all over the pitch.

Precisely. They could solve a lot of these little problems, yet they do F**k all and line their own pockets.

Heck, I'm sure their decision to choose GoalControl had a little something to do with the dosh.

The fact you see better corner deliveries in the Championship than the PL.

You'd probably see better corner deliveries in the park on Sundays than some Premier League players.

Alan Pardew.

Now sure why he gets to me so much but cannot stand him.

i hate hearing jose (enrique, mouinho) said with a hard J.

This all day long, I guess (or am supposing that is the way they pronounce it in Spain?)

Over here or anywhere in South America that would be a soft "J" as in Hoe not Joe.

YES this all day. Cannot stand that man.

Same as mate. Comes across as a real manipulative, nasty piece of work in my eyes.

Isn't the Portuguese pronunciation with a hard J, and Spanish is a soft J?

Yes, that's correct.

Could be Crouch....44 years now living within a literal stones throw to Mexico heard that for the first time while listening to a Liverpool broadcast really strange hearing it that way.

Completely and utterly agree!

Its staggers me how few players can actually deliver a decent corner.

Even more annoying is when teams take ages to take a corner because they are waiting for their 'specialist' to get to the corner and lo and behold they screw it up?!

Still think Hendo messing with his hair before coming onto the pitch is the most frustrating image in world football though!

What?! Its been found?! Well congratulations to you Sherlock!

You can picture him with pie smeared over his face yelling abuse at his players. He must be a hypnotist to get the jobs he gets.

Tony Pulis and Tony Pulis's cap.

^ F**k how did i forget that? I loathe him and that stupid hat.

Stoke fans too. Don't know how you could support that shower of sh*t. Hope they go down.

Forgot that as well.

Add Martin O'Neills tracksuit bottoms tucked into his socks as well.

This post made me wonder about one thing: are all Stoke fans happy with the way they play? Are they all behind Pulis or there is some divide in their fan base? I don't know any Stoke fans so I really couldn't tell. But I guess there must be at least a minority that doesn't like their team going down history as a rugby side in the Premier League.
