| 0:00.0 | It brings me on to this, then we've had this conversation. |
| 0:01.7 | There was a tweet from an account called Green Scouser, and it went pretty viral, and I want to bring it to everyone's attention. Does any neutral fan enjoy watching games of football anymore when their team isn't involved? I think the Premier League is at its lowest ever level in terms of entertainment. This nonsense during set pieces, the poor standard of referee and loads of playactant has made it unwatchable i found for the first time i'm watching that chelsea arsenal game and i don't watch to i much wish i don't watch tons of footy because i've got too much going on in my life sometimes but when i get a chance i do like to do it i usually catch things on highlights or whatever i sat down my turn and we thought let's watch arsenal chelis and i was like this is not this is not enjoyable it's not an advert I sat down my son and we thought, let's watch Arsenal, Chelsea. I was like, this is not, |
| 0:38.1 | this is not enjoyable. |
| 0:39.6 | It's not an advert. |
| 0:40.7 | I've got no skin in this game |
| 0:42.3 | because I don't, |
| 0:42.9 | if Arsenal don't win the league, |
| 0:44.0 | that's funny. |
| 0:44.7 | I don't particularly like Chelsea |
| 0:45.9 | and we're battling with Chelsea |
| 0:47.2 | with the top of life. |
| 0:47.7 | Actually, from a Liverpool point of view, |
| 0:50.5 | Chelsea was better for us. So I've got no skin in this game. As a spectacle. |
| 1:46.5 | I just couldn't believe it. And I watched everything for Man United and it's the exact same thing. I don't like either of those teams. But I watched it because it was on. And I was just like, this isn't right. There is no entertainment in this whatsoever. They are just fouling each other constantly. Where's the fun? What are we doing here? Well, it goes beyond the points made, all valid as they were, I think, in terms of sort of the enjoyment factor of football these days. And I listen, I love watching Futty full stop. I don't need to caveat or extend that conversation. I just do, and I still will continue to do so. However, you could bring VR into that equation and the farce that brings to the game all the time. I think actually we've lost a little bit of the the Mavericks side of it. I think we definitely miss that as well. It's all become a little bit to system led, yeah, exactly, which has been a bug bear of mind for quite some times, really honest. You know, when you think back to the throwback, Premiership years and Barclaysman that we often talk about, that was how I most sort of enjoyed football. |
| 1:50.6 | But, yeah, it's become very stale for lots of reasons. |
| 1:53.7 | But again, I think this season in particular is kind of, I've been off the point you made earlier on, Chris. |
| 1:57.4 | It has evolved and changed in a way, for the worse, that I think I've never really saw before, in such a short period of time as well. I felt like even last season there was much more, as a neutral, much more enjoyable. It's become so set piece heavy and dominant that it is unwatchable at times now. It's also, the set piece thing, we'll touch me on that |
| 2:17.6 | because we'll go through |
| 2:18.0 | some of the officiant |
| 2:19.2 | because, again, yeah, |
| 2:20.5 | inconsistency at best. |
| 2:30.9 | It just takes ages, do anything. That's it. So, like, I know the rules are coming to time, speed up corners and throw-ins and that'd be much welcome. But, like, back in a day, a team will get a throw in in the other team |
