It’s everywhere. From images, to videos, to Tiktoks, to adverts … I’m over saturated with opinions, replays, player ratings, hyperbole and the like.

There’s only so much you can take.

Example 1. The Newcastle goal vervus Arsenal. Never ending discussions on the decision. The hyperbolic nature of the punditry. The uneven opinions of the same people.

Example 2. Handball against Newcastle. Hundreds of videos all moaning, complaining over and over again. The same pundits complaining and restarting their opinion.

And now the new one - the ref not giving Man City an advantage in the Tottenham game. It starts all over again. The videos, the complaining, the shouting Tiktoks…

I just don’t care anymore.

Rational discussions are gone, replaced with hyperbole and drama.

It’s too much. I can’t watch any football related content anymore.

The only thing to do is to shut it all out but the commentary is just as bad.

    All the media noise about football makes it seem like the most important thing in the world. The smug self importance of people like gary neville and simon jordan doesn’t help matters. In the grand scheme of things football is not important. When it comes down to it it is just a game

    I think you should just watch the games and nothing else. When the commentators start annoying me I turn the volume down and play relaxing music to keep my mood from dipping.

    Just unsub from all football related news and content for a month and only chat with your mates about the games. That’s what I did during the 1-pt loss season a few years back and I’ve been a happier fan sincez

    Yup no one talks about the great goals or defensive skill. It’s all about the controversial calls and playing them up, in turn winding fans up. I swear at half time and full time they show the failed penalty shouts before the actual goals scored. It’s sad

    Delete the apps that have this annoying rhetoric. Focus on the parts you actually enjoy

    You can get your soul crushed in Championship where it’s invisible to the media and social media other than club supporters and local news. No VAR to complain about. All the refs are poor. The league is so inconsistent that most of the league is a month of good form away from promotion playoffs and a month of poor form from worrying about relegation.

    I barely bother with any of it. Of course, I’ll have the odd argument on Reddit to pass the time, and I check fixtures, team news and results on the Sky or BBC apps, but apart from that, I avoid it. Even the commentary and punditry during the games - I miss them because I tend to watch matches a couple of hours after they’re live. Partly due to family commitments, partly because I prefer to watch matches at x2 speed.

    Support your local team. Premier League is like Marvel Football. It’s not real, it doesn’t matter. It’s just a TV show. A very decent TV Show but it really doesn’t matter.
