I'm bored of newspapers and pundits only discussing 'events' during the game and not actually talking about the football on show (or lack thereof). Less focus on all the niggly shitty stuff and referee mistakes and more actual analysis would be nice.
Having Alan Shearer on both episodes of MOTD this weekend made me despair - how on earth did he ever get paid to manage a football team? It's like listening to a barman.
Gary Neville wrote a pretty decent article last week in the Telegraph on how poor Man City et al are in comparison to the top teams in Spain and Germany. He made the point that the Premier League is miles behind in terms of tactics and also players on-field intelligence and ability to adapt to a situation during a game. The whole thing needs overhauling really - from the pundits, to the agents, to the coaches.. it's pathetic considering how much more money there is in the UK compared to every other league.
In other news, when did LVG pull his finger out and start actually looking like he knows what he's doing? No surprise that Carrick and Mata in the team has actually led to some passing, rather than just lumping the ball around and di Maria cutting in from the right endlessly.
