This is a rant.

I am getting frustrated with the intense coverage of the "exciting" Premier League title race tomorrow.

There is nothing remotely exciting about the prospect of megabucks City winning the league, it's not even as if it could go either way (although admittedly there is an outside chance of Utd winning it). The notion that it's fantastic that City can win it is totally false, it's like Norwich entering the Diss and Area Saturday League Division 6F, and then everyone saying "wow, well done, you won it, wasn't that exciting?!".

I don't know why SkyTV are forcing it down our necks, trying to indoctrinate us into believing that we have to tune in tomorrow to watch QPR get hammered. Heaven forbid that we don't watch it and miss the most exciting match of the whole season. In fact, is there really any point in the full season, because this is so mind-blowingly exciting, the rest of the season was a waste of time.

I feel like they are trying to force me to run down the pub, because there are other "lads" there, and shout:

"****ING HELL, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! CITY WILL PROBABLY WIN THE LEAGUE TOMORROW!!! IT'S SO ****ING EXCITING, I THINK MY HEAD MIGHT EXPLODE AND LEAVE THE BAR COVERED IN GOOEY BRAIN MATTER. IN FACT, IT'S SO OUTRAGEOUSLY, BREATHTAKINGLY, MIND-****INGLY EXCITING, I'M GOING TO TELL MY MRS TO **** OFF OUT FOR THE DAY SO I CAN WATCH THE MATCH ALONE AND **** MYSELF SILLY OVER THE PROSPECT OF ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE CLUB WINNING THE PREMIERSHIP. THE SOLE POINT IN MY EXISTANCE UP UNTIL THIS POINT WAS TO WATCH THIS MATCH, IT WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY ****ING LIFE."

By way of a conclusion, here is a list of things more exciting than City securing the Premier League title:
1. Blankets
2. The Bolivian Presidential Election Race
3. A washing basket
4. Ipswich Town Season Review 2006-2007
5. Placing my head into a jet engine
6. The metamorphosis of the May Fly
7. Stamp Collecting
8. Downton Abbey (and that is seriously ****)
9. The plotted history of Sheds
10. Restoring vintage radiators.

i think its good for the game that there is another team who are now able to win the league. how boring was it before when only three teams could win the league - united, arsenal and chelsea? now even spurs can say they have a realistic chance of at least competing for the title. the money doesn't bother me at all - rather a club like man city have all the money than united, liverpool or arsenal who always have all the money and first dibs on top players! equally, its only a matter of time before citeh clear up every year you'd suspect; then it'll become stale again but i'm enjoying the change of scenery at the top! just cos they can buy whoever they want is no guarantee for success - the players still have to go out there and win the league.
 
You'll be surprised how exciting the history of sheds can be actually......

Did you know Winston Churchill once had a shed which had THREE 10-inch T-hinges with auto-latch mechanisms on his door, instead of the usual pair of mild steel loose pin butt hinges? He called his shed "Daisy".

It would have been a lot less exciting if a six or eight point clear Man Ure had already got it wrapped up by now, and they could have had, but they haven't, and it has gone down to the last day of the season...

Sky have to ram it down your throat all the time because they are the paymasters. Personally, I hate ****ing Sky, Murdoch and all that they stand for with a passion and that is precisely why I cancelled my subscription two years ago. On the flipside of course, if it wasn't for Murdoch my football club might be on the verge of oblivion. There's so much wrong with Sky that it makes my blood boil yet millions just pay up without thinking. One of my main gripes is that it doesn't cost Sky one penny more to broadcast a programme if HD, yet they charge their customer's an extra £10 a month for the ****ing privilage ! <grr>

If you laid all the garden sheds in Britain (Nov 2011) end to end, they would reach half way to Egypt. In 1974 they would have reached Zimbabwe. The decline in the popularity of sheds has been a tragedy. I blame hot-tubs and summer houses.
 
Sorry, but I actually disagree <grr>:

1) I wish to see Man City win the title, because I have always loathed MANURE!
2) Man City actually play an enjoyable-to-watch brand of football, which I have witnessed many times on Sky.
3) Most importantly, I wish to see QPR get relegated and properly destroyed 6-0 minimum so they know our pain @ Fulham in our last PL season. Arrogant, mercenary, chaotic, embarassing are a few words to describe their season...

I love Sky (Football, IPL, Cricket, Movies, Game of Thrones, Spartacus, etc.) :laugh:

I will agree that Murdoch is a bellend and should be sent to a retirement home since he is in fact a dinosaur from the Jurassic era.

That!

1) Confirmed ABU for years, if it was you lot v Man Ure I'd hope you lot win...

2) Beat Man Ure Home and away this season, the 1-6 was a joy to behold...

3) I hope Man City do a "Chelsea v Wigan" tomorrow and put on a proper Prem winning display...


Mrs Welly is from the blue side of Manchester, as is all her family, and she's already getting the pale blue and white balloons ready for tomorrow's party...

How so? Chaotic agreed. Why arrogant, mercenary or embarrassing? Do you know what you're talking about? If you think you do then please expand. Believe it or not I'm enjoying the journey. The journey's the fun thing right? Hoping someone gets relegated so they can know your pain? That's arrogant and embarrassing imo. <ok>

Up or down we'll be back.

Personally I want QPR to survive.Why? Because if they can do it,even by parking the bus,the Eurostar or the Jumbo jet at Eastfields then I think they will have earned it.I will put up with a nil-nil bore draw.I don't even mind if Sir Joseph Barton criminal of that parish scores the winner or equaliser with a hand of God goal and gets knighted for it.I don't hate City,just that loadsofmoney ethos that they represent.

Hi Telford

The arrogance comes from a portion of your fan base on Not606 making rash claims such as "All the other clubs in the bottom half of the PL, would die to have these players" after the January transfer window. Utter bollox mate, we would not want a single player that has been signed by QPR this season, and I dare say nor would most of the others in the bottom half of the PL.

It also comes from being told how jealous we are that we do not have the same amount of money to throw at transfers and wages. That is fine, we have managed to pretty well without needing to <ok>
