Chivs Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I've seen Sheff Utd, Charlton and Watford at AG now. And I can safely say that if I never see those teams again it won't be a day too soon.All 3 teams played a less than beautiful version of the game. However, my main gripe is not about the type of play but the cynical, time-wasting, cheating that they bring to the pitch.Charlton's time wasting started after about 39 minutes. Andy Reid must have stood directly in front of all of our free kicks.Watford last night managed to kick Johnson off the pitch and then kick the ball away from throw-ins. This is just cynical cheating.I contrast this with teams who have not recently been in the Premier League, namely Hull and Ipswich. They both played good football and got on in the right spirit.Am I placing too much emphasis on the Premier League? I might be overlooking other Championship teams that have been cynical. I do recall one. Crystal Palace who were nasty. Hang on, they are managed by ex-Premier League manager Warnock!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 The premierships pure greed is whats killing the game. It should share the revenue it earns and filter it down the leagues....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fct Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I had a laugh recently watching Wigan Vs Sunderland; imagine them trying to flog that to foreign cities for the right to host that load of tripe? Who do the arrogant big headed Premiership people think they are? They're so far up their own jacksies they really think the rest of the world will fall over themselves to pay to watch Fulham, Wigan, Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Birmingham. HA HA HA HA HA.Cripes, they really are egotistical richard craniums. Ruined the game....... yes they have. They ought to go and flock off with their arrogant teams and play somewhere abroad permanently so we can get on with the proper game here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
