    *This is more of a bugbear than boring
    And when players know they are offside but pretend they are not and put the ball in the net all casual.
    And fans who know it's offside but still celebrate and get mad.

    The rule where a player gets booked for removing his shirt after scoring an important goal, going into the crowd etc.

    The fuss about players changing shirts with opponents

    How modern stadia haven't figured out how to serve food and drink quickly at half time (e.g. ban cash, make the season ticket card like a contactless Oyster)

    Home made placards held by adults at games
    The shirt removal-thing is understandable. For the sponsors, a player celebrating his goal is the money-shot, so to speak. For them, it's ruined if he takes it off. Although I wonder what happens if he's wearing an equally advertiser-friendly shirt underneath
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    "Punditry" from daft ex players talking absolute *******s but getting paid because they once sat in a PL dressing room: take a bow - Michael Owen, Robbie Savage, Andy Townsend, Ian Wright (yes it pains me), Shearer, Ferdinand, Crouchy et al. it is beyond a joke.

    And the endless different programmes and phone-ins the PL have during the week on endless repeat.
    It comes dangerously close to putting you off the sport.

    Fair point. But if not them, ex-players, who would make good pundits?
