Players who get under your skin

Post by ClaretTony » Sat Feb 06, 2021 8:07 pm

I was thinking about this while watching our game this afternoon. We will all have different players from different clubs who we just can't be doing with and who get under our skin, not because they've played for Blackburn or anything like that, just players you really don't like.

Can I start this with the one who prompted me to post this.

Aaron Connolly (Brighton)

I second Bruno Fernandes. Always moaning on the pitch and cries whenever someone gets stuck in.

Connolly was particularly annoying. So many more to choose from past and present! Luiz as above is annoying but I can’t stand Grealish good player but diving git. Past players I used to hate Gregan at Preston!

I thought someone getting under your skin implied that you liked them.

By he way I really like Bruno Fernandes. Fantastic, inspirational player. Also very articulate, speaks English very well.

Jack Grealish...end of thread! I'm not a violent person but he winds me up that much I wish maybe somebody would just leave a ‘little extra’ on him every time I watch him!

Grealish 100%. I think it's more annoying as he is such a fantastic talent but then he cheats and talks and that's enough for me to want to slap him.

James Maddison. I like Jack Grealish. I can understand why some don’t but at least he backs his arrogance up with performances. But James Maddison just isn’t on the same level yet pretends he his. Just nonsense.

Andy Robertson. Just a nasty player. Not in a Roy Keane way, but in a sly way.

Neil Maupay.......just view him as colossally smug somehow.
Vardy..... great player but comes across as a miserable, snidey chav whose only happiness is the misery of others ! Diver too.

I was on a plane with Savage a few years ago - him and his wife and kids all had matching Michael Kors handbags :?

Never wanted my own plane to crash before!

As for my answer... Flappy Pickford makes me want to shoot him every time I see his face

I laugh that 95% of the answers are EPL related, rather than looking at our checkered past.

One of those strange sayings that can mean either. If someone is under your skin it means you either intensely dislike them OR you really like them.

That dutch lad who was at Manchester United a few years back. Memphis is it? I’ve seen some photos of him on Instagram with Liger cubs. What a prat. They are bread in a disgusting many and suffer terrible illnesses. Also believes he’s better than he is.

It's actually a selection of managers that get under my skin when they don't get things their own way

Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, José Mourinho
