I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

    Totally agree, although it’s not a problem that’s unique the to the UK, it’s also a big issue in places like Italy and Spain. I don’t know what is is about football that brings out the dickheads, you just don’t see it with other sports.

      Isn’t it a lot to do with how easy it is to start playing? All you need is something ball shaped and a wall or a bit of grass .You don’t need to terraform a whole area like golf, for example.

      So it’s got no barrier to entry which means people of a lower socioeconomic disposition can play it and they are often disproportionately stressed and angry

        Possibly, but I think it’s just the simplicity of the game, it’s extremely easy to understand and there’s “local” teams where you’re more likely to feel an attachment to.
